After installing Studio '13, I noticed that there is no longer a program called Articulate Video Encoder. I now know from Mike Enders that, "the video encoding is now built-in to the Studio Tools. When you add a video, you’ll see that you can edit it. Studio then encodes it when it publishes."
My question is, "Can I reinstall Video Encoder '09 as a stand alone tool?"
I think that since it is a different application that it should be fine. You may find you don't need it. What do you think you will do with it if it is installed.
My concern would be that the application is not updated. Video technology change and I assume with Studio 13 updates they get included. May not be the case with the encoder 09
Deb, IMO video encoder was a dog. I always used alternatives that allowed me to tune the video output and used hyperlinks to launch them from locations outside Articulate.
I think there are freeware applications that you could find that would serve you better.
I actually used it to convert video to flv for our LMS Video library. I will try to reinstall it, hoping it won't blow up my Studio '13 install. Thanks for your comments!
As an alternative, you can import your video in Presenter, publish, and then dig into the published file set to locate the .MP4 that was created for each video during publishing. Just copy, rename and put those MP4s in your LMS video library.

Hi Deborah! Looks like Sara and Phil have you covered here

Okay Deborah, you're the first I've seen that is exploring that option
Thanks for sharing.
