I see that Martin has posted a Quicktime movie as an uploaded resource. That's great. Moodle just keeps making life easier and easier. 微笑

Just want to point out to pure Windows folks that the Mac version of MS Powerpoint exports presentations to streaming *.mov files. If you have a lot of tutorials you would like to post to your site, you might want to borrow a Mac for a weekend and convert them. Might be worth your time.

We have always had a little trouble with PowerPoint presentations that we have put up on the Web (Moodle or not) and this has worked out pretty well for us so far. It has not been a perfect solution, but it has been a good one.

I have also posted small quicktime movies, but want to be able to use larger files as well.

I have a number of rather large quicktime movies (14-25 mb each) that I have used in Blackboard linked to a local CD, but can't figure out a way to do this in Moodle.

I have tried to link to them as web pages (which is what I did in BB), but they are not recognized by Moodle.

I have the movies embedded in html pages with additional content and would like to link these files (again, based on a CD-rom) in any way possible to Moodle.
I realize this may not be the best forum for this question, but have searched and searched and found nothing so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, so I found my answer in another forum.  Apparently if I create the html page within moodle it will work, but I can't simply link to the existing html pages on the CD.

I think this is coming soon, though! Woohoo!

The feature for linking to CD files is in Moodle 1.5 (you need to enable it from the Resource settings screen) but the bad news is that very few browsers support it these days because of the security risks.

Yikes! Does that mean we won't be able to enable it in the browsers we use our labs? It is just not possible?

Art have you tried Impatica for making PowerPoint presentations play online. It makes an applet out of the presentation so no plug in is required and has codecs which will compress embeded audio and video in the PowerPoint.
The compression rates are impressive, and to reach a large group of folk whose connections and plug ins we are unsure of, makes it handy.
Although it does sound a lot like Emblaze which did the same thing years ago and just didn't work out in the long run.

Hi, Stacy,

No, I have not used Impatica, but I have looked at it. It looks very good. It sounds like you have been happy with it. 微笑

I have been using Camtasia Studio for this and I very satisfied. Have you used it?

I am also playing with Windows Media Encoder right now and it seems good, too. (And you can't beat the price.)

Art,

I have been using Impatica for a while now for my presentations on my site.  I'm just now working on gettin my Moodle site up and running.  I can't seem to get the Impatica files to run on the Mozilla for Mac, where they run in all other browsers.

I saw you mentioned Impatica and I was just wondering if you had heard of a fix or solution for this.  Any assistance you could give me would be great...I'm kinda stumped.

Ricky

p.s. (i'm running OSX panther)

Hi Everyone,

I am running into the same problem as Ricky. I can get Impatica to work on Safari, but I lose the HTML editor. Below are some browser platform I have tried. If anyone knows of a Macintosh browser that will support both the HTML editor and Impatica presentations, your input will be greatly appreciated! 微笑

I'm fairly certain this was discussed in another forum, but what seems to always work for me is using OpenOffice Impress and exporting to a .swf file.

Still working on the importPPT function of Mike Penney's too (can't get it to work, but I think that's the simplest answer for our faculty here).

Anyone else tried that?

[EDIT/ADDITION] : Another sure-fire win is creating presentations with the W3schools XHTML Slidy . It might take some tweaks and getting used to, but you can know for certain that it will always work in all browsers.
