1. Re: what is the best way to publish to avi, using Captivate 4
Erik Lord Jul 10, 2012 7:52 AM (in response to hlearn)Try publishing to SWF or FLV...then converting that to AVI using one of the many video conversion tools on the web (I mentioned 'Super' converter in some other thread).
When I check my CP4 install, I have two Indeo options. Do you? Try the other one?
OR, assuming you're on Windows, you can install Windows Media codecs:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=507
and after a restart, those should be listed below the default codecs as options.
Helps?

hlearn Jul 11, 2012 11:39 AM (in response to Erik Lord)I got a message that Windows media player was incompatible, followed by another message that install was successful.
Regardless, I rebooted, reopened Captivate and have now tried every converter in the list. Either I get an error during initialization and cannot proceed, or I get audio with no video, audio with fuzzy or jumping up and down video, or audio that is out of sync with the video.

3. Re: what is the best way to publish to avi, using Captivate 4
Erik Lord Jul 11, 2012 9:59 PM (in response to hlearn)Well...that's not encouraging. Maybe that sort of result is why publishing to such movie formats are no longer an option in Captivate
Of all those results, the audio sync I've seen before - it's a difficult process, apparently, to keep audio in sync when not publishing to a Flash format.
So, can you publish to FLV, then convert that to a different format? You may have better luck. There are many such converters out there. I've had luck with this for similar needs in the past:

OR, of course, if you can publish to FLV and just use that file format for integration into "another product for publication", that would seem optimal...
Let us know how it goes...

hlearn Jul 12, 2012 6:35 AM (in response to Harry28586)What is that going to buy me? I need to insert these files into another application and have them run through that. I don’t know that a different media player is going to solve my problem.

Harry28586 Jul 12, 2012 6:39 AM (in response to hlearn)Avi is the universal format and if the third party tool is not accepting it,i think that is suppose to work.

hlearn Jul 17, 2012 6:41 AM (in response to Erik Lord)Were you ever able to figure out if this can be done in Cap4?

13. Re: what is the best way to publish to avi, using Captivate 4
Erik Lord Jul 17, 2012 11:28 AM (in response to hlearn)Ack! So sorry, totally slipped my mind!
Will see what I can find out today...
Sorry, the one computer with CP4 is in use! I'll try to check tomorrow. Apologies for the delays...
In the meantime, you can definitely export a project to FLV with CP5 or later. Would it be worth downloading a trial version, opening a copy of your project, and exporting to FLV with that?
Actually, in CP5+ the export is to 'F4V' but that's essentially the same thing (under the “Media” tab).
