Hello everyone<br><br>I have been on the listserv for a while but not very active. I am impressed by Xerte though not at all experienced in it and would like to invest some time developing materials on it for language learning. However, before doing so, there is one functionality that I absolutely need. So here is my question:<br>
<br>Is there some way to access video and audio files randomly i.e. from point A to point B.<br><br>Imagine we have a 10-minute video clip. I would like to be able to play back a segment of that clip, say from 1.5 minutes to 1.75 minutes or from frame 500 to frame 600 or something like that.<br>
<br>I also want to be able to assign the values of point A and point B dynamically (I do not want to have to pre-set start and end points).<br><br>Is it possible to do that with the tools provided in Xerte? <br><br>
There are two advantages to this:<br>
<br>
(a) I do not have to have multiple audio/video files and<br>
(b) I do not have to pre-set the start and ending points.<br><br>Thanks for any assistance<br>Andrew<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Professor Dr Andrew Lian<br>Vice-President of AsiaCALL<br>Chair, Dept. of Foreign Languages<br>
