I ran into this SL bug today... tried up update an MP4 video with exact settings as the MP4 it was replacing and SL decided to disable the Compression: None option. This is a long-standing and really annoying bug that I can remember running into since at least SL2 days.
The only way I could get around it was this:
- delete existing MP4 videos from the Storyline project
- save the Storyline project under a new name
- close Storyline
- rename the video files to something different than the names they were before
- reopen Storyline
- add the videos again and voila! the video compression dropdown is magically available again
- fix timing/actions/layering and anything else that got messed up by deleting the videos
- crack a cold one (optional)
Usually there is some way to slap Storyline back in to recognizing that the MP4 file is one of the profiles that allow compression to be turned off, but it's still a long-standing bug that needs to be squashed.
Add me to the list of people who wants to see this fixed, please!
