Hi Barry and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! How are you viewing your content? Are you viewing your content as your learner would when published? Check out this article for information on publishing and sharing your Storyline content.
Was there ever a resolution to this? I have a client who is going to be providing AVI files for inclusion in a program, and I am trying to do some reading to get out in front of an issue for a change! I read some of the other posts regarding file conversions and some of the problems associated with the GoTo Meeting codec, and was wondering if this was a related issue, or something else entirely. This is the only post I have seen so far that addresses a file that is initially an AVI file, as opposed to one that has been converted from some other format...
I don't see anything further from Barry on this issue, but if you're concerned about the codec or how they'll play within your Storyline course, have you looked into using a software such as Handbrake to convert the videos (it's a free download)? If you insert the AVI and you're still unable to play it within the published output there is a article here documenting a few troubleshooting steps.
We are in the process of moving our flash content to HTML5. I have exported all of the non interactive flash files videos ( .AVI format). But the file size seems to be very big.
I have to insert these avi files around 5MB each to a course that will be published as Html5 output.
I heard that AVI files will not be played in mobile devices. Is this true?
My course have around 10 video files (.AVI). Will I get any problem to play these in mobile devices.
I can convert these files into MP4 (much reduced size around 600 KB) but I wonder if there is any quality compromise. Please let me know the best practice to insert the video files into a storyline 360 course.
An AVI file should be converted to an MP4 upon publish - so you could add those into your Storyline 360 course and let Storyline work it's magic for you. Since they'll be converted upon publishing, no concerns with the mobile output.
Awesome! Thank you for the link. I have converted some FLV videos to mp4 (using replay360) without knowing the fact that storyline automatically convert them :-(

Thank you Ashley!
Is this applies to MOV files also? the .mov files are also very huge in size.
Hi Karen,
.MOV files will also be converted upon publish. Take a look here.

Hope this saves you a little extra time moving forward!
