I know that Presenter supports mp4, swf, and flv video formats, but I thought I had read somewhere here recently that you can put a WMV into your course by using a web object. So I'm trying to do that. But when I go to select the file for my web object, I can only choose the folder (not the file). And then if I choose the folder that contains my WMV, it doesn't work. I get a message that Presenter can't locate an index file.
Yeah, you'll need to embed the WMV into an html page first. Then you can do either of two things;
Put it online and then paste the URL into the Address field when you add it as a web object (see tutorial here)
---or---
If it's not in an online location (like if it's on your own hard drive), you'd want to call the file index.htm or index.html, and place it in a folder by itself. Then to insert it as a web object, click the little folder to the right of the "address" field and select the folder. (see tutorial here)
OHHH now I get it. Thanks! I'd never really used web objects before, so this was all a little fuzzy to me. Thanks for the help - now I know how to get things working.

Hope that helps
