Lagging Scorm Video

May 21, 2013

Hi there!

I have several Scorm 1.2 projects that have Video Slides and Quizzes at the end of the video.  The videos are mp4's imported into the project and they range from 2 mins-5 mins each. The slides also varies from 9 slides- 25 slides.

The issue we are having is some of our clients have slow internet and trying to watch these videos.

With this speed, we are having issues with lag time and the video messing up while trying to play the video.  We are thinking of taking out the scrub bar but it also takes out the play/pause button.

Question: How do I make the video play smoothly with a much slower internet speed?

Well, by default, Storyline already preloads published content in a specific order to make playback of your courses as smooth as possible.  

There may be a third-party pre-loader out there, but I don't recall seeing one. 

In some cases, the MP4 file may not be properly formatted. As a result, users may experience a long delay while the entire video downloads. If you have an MP4 file that is exhibiting this behavior, you may be able to correct it by using the method described here.

Hopefully that helps..
