.FLV talking head not playing when uploaded to Breeze server

Report · Sep 12, 2007

I currently am trying to publish my presentation using .FLV files as talking heads, and it works perfectly when published locally. However, when I attempt to publish the presentation to the web server, only a small amount of the slides are playing their .FLV video, and most of them are not. I first used Flash Video Encoder (which was included with Flash CS3) and Sorenson Squeeze for Flash (non VP6 codec @ 512K) to convert .MPG files to .FLV for publication. Neither option worked, and now I'm pretty much stumped.

Can anyone help me get these videos working?

Thank you.

With presenter you need to publish the SWF and FLV files to Flash 6. Then they should work for you. Also remember to give the slides 1-2 seconds more silence than the video is long for loading times of FLV videos.

Hi Jorma,

Thank you for the response. I'm not quite sure what you mean by publishing both SWF and FLV files. Is it necessary to publish both file types for the talking head? And how can I customize the codec to a low version of Flash like Flash 6 in Sorenson?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

It should be an option when you publish. I haven't used Sorenson, so I don't know the details. As to the SWF or FLV, I just mean that when you publish either file type it needs to be to Flash 6. This should change with the next release of Presenter and Connect.
