Problem Solved: Camtasia default video compression setting must be changed to Windows 1

Hi,

Have 3 videos, 2 .avi and 1 .wmv.

.wmv created as a test, ie. not .avi.

All created in Camtasia.

Inserted in project using Insert > Multimedia/demo.

Videos are in the same folder as topic calling them.

Compile .chm

All works on my PC. Also works on another PC, (where RH 10 trial was installed. Trial expired).

Videos will NOT play on any other PC. Only unclickable link appears.

Does having RH installed or "once upon a time" installed on a PC make a difference?

1 workaround seems to be, placing video files in same folder as compiled .chm. However, Dev. wants to avoid shipping vid. files with application.

Seems to be a pretty common topic across the internet, but haven't found a complete solution.

Any ideas?

Can we check that the files have been added as baggage files in your project? If so, there should be no need to package them with the CHM when it is installed as they will be integral to it.
