Has anyone experienced t an error message after Publishing a .wmv file which says Error encoding -Encoder could not publish this video (or words to that effect?) I get it every time after trynig to publish a .wmv file which is about 35mb. Or doesn't size matter?
Any ideas why such error after what seems to be a simple task of trying to publish a .wmv file?
Can you let us know what the exact error message is? Also, while the article is referring to a different issue, installing the codec pack may help you with yours:
Hi Justin, I will retry to Publish and come back to you with the exact message. Thanks for the suggestion about the Codec. Is there any one of the particular codec packs that I should install as quite a few are listed on the site.
Hi Justin..of course this time I tried. It worked however I was not aware that converting a .WMV file to flash can actually make the end .FLV file size larger than the original. I just went from a 33mb .wmv to a 82mb .flv.
Any tips to keep file size to a minimum but taking into consideration that resolution can't be too small as the content of the video shows a recorded powerpoint slide presentation with voice over?
The size will be dependent on the dimensions of the video and the audio and video bitrate. I strongly recommend using a calculator to figure out the proper dimensions and bitrates for your video:
I am also getting an error message..."There was an error copying player files. Error code 120." I believe I have a codec issue since I can not preview or edit the video I am working with. I can still convert it, I just can't publish it.
* The location to which you are publishing is Read-Only.
* There is not enough available disk space to publish the presentation in the selected location.
You will need to select a publish location that is not Read-Only or increase your available disk space. It is recommended that you coordinate with your IT staff to correct these issues.

I wouldn't bother installing the codec pack if it worked because that indicates you have the proper codecs installed on your machine to convert WMV.
I am also getting an error message..."There was an error copying player files. Error code 120." I believe I have a codec issue since I can not preview or edit the video I am working with. I can still convert it, I just can't publish it.
Hi Mark & welcome to Heroes,
That error message may indicate the following:
* The location to which you are publishing is Read-Only.
* There is not enough available disk space to publish the presentation in the selected location.
You will need to select a publish location that is not Read-Only or increase your available disk space. It is recommended that you coordinate with your IT staff to correct these issues.
Thanks Brian! We got it to work. Your suggestions were very helpful.
