We are currently working on a video/interactive trainer for a client. But we are struggling with load times and file size when publishing to an EXE. We can’t use HTLM with an auto run because the client does not want it to run in a browser. The big problem now is how big Captivate (5.5) makes the EXE’s the same project using flash in a browser is 2.2gigs. But when published to an EXE its 9gigs!? Also the load time for a lesson is incredibly long. The video files in the lesson are only 220mb but when Captivate publishes it the size is about 1.2 gigs. It takes up to 3min to load on a 4core pc and fast DVD. How can we fix this issue? The client is not happy with this result and we need an answer fast.
Please Help!
Hello There,
EXE's always bundle additional files because it is a stand-alone entity. And, if the size 9GB then it will surely take time to load all the files. I'll check with the team again on how we can optimize it. BTW, are the videos inserted as slide video or Event video?
Thanks,
Vish
