Rise creating long file names
Thanks - but I wonder just how I'd ever "tell Rise "to do anything.
I have a few ideas for making it a better product but judging from the response that people get, and that problems go unresolved for years ... why waste time suggesting them?
Others (more capable than me) have suggested the same.
And overall, it's a very good product :)
Transcoding is a process that compresses videos for streaming.
But Rise's transcoded files are literally twice the size of my own (I use Handbrake - hardly rocket science...)
So I replace the video files anyway after I've unzipped the download - but can't lose this pointess extension of the file name.
This creates problems on my own PC, so it's not just a matter for my LMS.
I know the reasons why Articulate are so paranoid about encrypting things (too many thieves out there...) but adding another character string as well as the word "transcoded" seems like complete overkill to me.
Hey ho, another annoying irritant with a basic product that is, as I said, very good.
I'm sure that assigning resources to fixing more of these shortcomings would pay off.
Less niggles = better repuatation.
I just wondered whether anyone has a workaround?
