FVL vs MP4 video publish output

Just curious (and no comment) --  but why would you like this?  Browser or server needs?

MP4's are usually smaller in size and often of better quality than FLV's.  The wizards of Articulate really shrink the size of your video with its MP4 magic.

Oh, and you could probably use a FLV via use of a web object.

The simple answer is no, agree with Gerry's comment the video encoding can sometimes be magic.

I'm fine with the mp4 format and agree the compression that Storyline does is very good. Problem is, my LMS doesn't support the .mp4 file format, can you believe it? I just confirmed with them that's the case. I need to figure out a secure web server solution or whatever.

Thanks, Darrin!

They can't just add a MIME type of MP4 to the server that the content is on?

Again, you can bring in a FLV with it being in a web object.  If you have Presenter, you could use that and then do a local web object.

If you don't know how to do a local web object, Brian Batt just did a nice Screenr on it.  Need to find the link if you need it.

Haven't tried the local web object. Will check it out. Thanks

Can't find the video yet but here's a helpful tutorial:  http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/adding-web-objects.aspx

Our servers had to have the mime type enabled for .mp4 as well.

It is well worth it.  While there are still plenty of FLV videos out there being used, even Adobe has adopted mp4 as the standard video format and it will take up less space on your servers, which should make your server guys happy.
