[Xerte] How to import DVD files

Thu Jan 15 10:17:33 GMT 2009

I tried Free Riva FLV Encoder 2.0 (freeware) once and it works quite fine, 
but perhaps it doesn't have the image quality the professional tools have:

You need to convert them to .flv format. Google for .flv cnverters and 
you’ll find a few good pieces of software to do this. If you have Flash, 
it includes tools to do this also.

Can anyone recommend a really good .avi / .mpg to .flv converter? I tend 
to use Flash, so haven’t needed to find my own,

Dear Julian

I have got some movies from Sony DVD camcorder. They are in MPEG format. 
Flash does not seem to import them. Is there any way of opening them in 
Xerte?
Regards
Ashok Ranade

Here are some good examples of Xerte content, both custom content and the 
default interface.

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560
Shows all of the page types you can create  with the pageTemplates Xerte 
template. If your technical skills are low, or you don’t write any code, 
this is a good example of the sort of content you can quite easily create.

Here is an example of real-life content created with toolkits by 
non-technical people
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_264

This is a good example of a toolkits project, extended with cutom flash 
movies to add in additional functionality not available in the template 
directly
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_508

This example uses the default interface, but custmises it a little bit:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_159

This is template that uses a custom interface
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_244

This is a project using a custom swf to control it:

These are completely custom projects, from the ground up, that show quite 
well what Xerte is capable of:

The property is .controller – that’s the loaded swf. You need to make sure 
that it’s loaded before you can address it’s properties,

Hi List, 

I'm quite new to Xerte and try to create my first project using a custom 
made interface. The layout of the interface uses two different boxed to 
organize the content. Each box is a movieclip on the main timeline of the 
interface.swf file. I want to change the width of these boxes using 
scripts in Xerte. So I tried rootIcon.box1._width = 400 and 
rootIcon.clip.box1._width = 400 and even rootIcon.swf.box1._width = 400 - 
no luck. I couldn't find a hint in the Xerte help ... can you help me? 

By the way: are there any complex learning objects out there that use 
custom made interfaces, combinations of built in functionalities and 
externally loaded flash files, etc. to learn from? 

Thanks, 

Peter
