Compatible Video Formats By Lora Alston I was given the following video files that are attached to load into storyline 2 but I am not sure if they are compatible or not? Can someone tell me which video files are compatible with storyline 2? Thanks! video_format.png

You can do so using Handbrake if don't have other video software handy. There is information here regarding supported video types and how they work in Storyline. Hope that helps.

Pierre Jouan over 5 years ago10/05/15 at 2:26 pm (UTC) You mean Handbrake won't "see" your VOBs ? Maybe you could copy on your PC an rename them to ".mpeg " files ? Or use VLC Media Player that should be able to play and convert them as well.
