About adding video

Flash Video (FLV) files add realism and depth to your Adobe Captivate project. You can insert
FLV files so that they play from any slide in your project.
You can include three types of FLV files in your project:
Progressive Download Video
Captivate project, and play them back at run time. Because the video content is kept external to
the other Adobe Captivate content and the video playback controls, it's relatively easy to update
video content without having to rebuild the Adobe Captivate project. During delivery, video
begins playing as soon as the first segment has been downloaded and cached to the local
computer's hard disk drive.
Streaming Video
Flash® Media Server or from a host Flash Video Streaming Service provides the most complete,
consistent, and robust delivery option for both audio and video files. When streaming, each Flash
client opens a persistent connection to the Flash Communication Server, and there is a controlled
relationship between the video being delivered and the client interaction. Streaming Video is the
only delivery option that allows you to include a live video feed in your Adobe Captivate project.
Flash Video Streaming Service
files to the largest possible audience without the hassle of setting up and maintaining your own
streaming server hardware and network.
FLV files will not play when an Adobe Captivate project is hosted on a Windows 2003 web server.
Note: If your Adobe Captivate project contains FLV files, ensure that the files contain metadata for
the video player to function correctly. FLV files created with Flash Communication Server 1.5.2, FLV
Exporter version 1.2, and Sorenson Squeeze 4.0 automatically contain metadata. Sorenson
Squeeze 4.0 is included with the Flash Video Kit. If you import an FLV file that does not have any
metadata, the Flash Video will not play correctly in your project.
