Well... unfortunately the injection did not work either. My files do seem to have metadata attached to them (as verified by flvmdi) but they are still not playable by the system. Is specific metadata necessary? The smallest filesize is around 18MB.<br>

If I load the cafe_townsend_chef.flv file which comes in the setup folder in the xerteonline toolkits, it works perfectly. On another machine, it also played another .flv file made by someone else. It looks like it is having trouble playing files that I converted from mpg or wherever using the AVS converter or other programs. This happens on b oth machines. Does that make sense? Does the system expect a particular .flv file and, if so, what are its characteristics?<br>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt">I am struggling a little bit with videos. I understand that the videos which are playable through the online toolkits are .flv. However, the system does not seem to recognise my flv files (usually converted from mpg or something else). I really don't quite know what to do next. The only thing that I can think of is that the files are too big.
