Movie files not working!?

Hi Harjinder & welcome to Heroes,

Do the video files work as expected when you publish to the web & then choose the View Presentation option?  Does the issue with the videos not occur until you upload the content online?  If so, please see the link below:

If you continue to have problems, can you tell me what file type the videos are and what program you used to create them?

Regarding the link to the Youtube version of the file, this should work as expected.  If it doesn't, then there's likely a pop-up blocker in your browser that is preventing the Youtube site from loading.

Hi Brian. Thank you for the welcome and for the reply.

The video link does not work as expected when published to the web or LMS SCORM through the View Presentation option. The link you kindly provided unfortunately would not be relevant as there is no server involved (which I checked with my manager).

The video is saved as an .FLV file. It was originally shot with a digital camera then altered in Adobe Elements. I have also used youtube videos converted to flv files using online converters however the same problem occurs, they work fine in preview and powerpoint mode (even through the Engage media tour tool) but when published to web or LMS SCORM nothing happens.

Thank you once again for your reply and further assistance, it is much appreciated.  

Hi Harjinder,

Would you mind submitting a support case so that we can take a closer look at the issue?

Please create an Articulate Presenter package, then upload the zip file to our server. You can review how to do this here: 

Send to Articulate Presenter Package – Articulate Presenter ’09 Help

Upload the resulting zip file from your computer to our server using this upload form:

Hi again Brian

Thanks once again for your reply. I have uploaded the file and sent it through the appropriate channel. I look forward to a response.

Hi Brian

Just wanted to quickly inform you that the problem above has been resolved. Following sending the zip file through to Articulate I received a response with a few troubleshooting headings and information. It turned out the problem was the file path when publishing had a 'special character' within it (it was actually just one full stop) which Articulate did not like. I saved this in another location on the hard drive where no special characters were present and the Flash movies seemed to work perfectly.

Thank you very much for your help with the issue. Your swift responses and guidance were key to the problem being solved.
