[Xerte] flv files - media/video page

[Harding, Julie]

Hello

I have managed to learn (very quickly!!) how to use Xerte, (mainly thanks to Rons videos) but I do have some questions on video and would be VERY grateful if someone could assist.

We use Smartboards to record application screen captures with narration at the same time. These are .wmv files and then we have to convert those through CuCusoft software to a flv format. When I add a media/video page in my learning object it either takes over the screen and gets in the way of navigation, or adding the default video size window completely distorts it? I have tried various resolutions of the same video and changed the video size in various increments on the media/video page but to no avail.

Sorry this is longwinded but I may just be missing something really simple now - wood for trees etc!!

We have a whole college development day the week after next and really need the videos to work and at least be legible on a smartboard. The first screen is ok but as soon as there is mouse movement or narration it's like it cannot refresh quick enough? Please help!!

Many thanks
Julie
