Video Web Object: Published Video Shows Different Sizes

Jun 20, 2011

Hi, there

I'm seeking help to resolve the video size difference after Presenter is published. Below are the details:

  • Desired Effect: A video in Window Media Video (wmv) plays on Presenter slide.
  • Method Used: Created a local INDEX html file with the video URL, and inserted as a Web Object on a Presenter slide.
  • What went wrong (see screenshot): After published, the video size is only 320x240 in one computer, but the video size is 600x400 in another computer. 600x400 is the target size specified in the Web Object Customize window.
  • Possible issues:  I wonder if it's because of the HTML code in the Index file. Can anyone take a look to see what could be wrong? Much thanks!!

Okay, after the test, I believe I found the cause. The HTML code needs to specify the video size. The following code works for multiple computers.
