There could also be a possible firewall issue on your end. Typically with the FLV file - it's set to Progressive download. Once the first part of the movie is loaded into memory - it should kick off. Having that type of delay indicates that the file is either not being delivered or received properly. I hope this point you in the right direction. The Captain Gale-

This goes back a few versions now, but it sounds like the audio needs to be chopped up into smaller files. This is a tough one without looking at the file. The Captain Mimi-

However, when I upload it to the Net Dimensions (EKP) LMS it won't play. Either takes 5 minutes to load, freezes, and gives a "white screen of death". Help!!! Thanks so much.

I am creating a demo with Captivate 3. Each slide separately is correct: timing, audio, hifhlight boxes... But when I publish, OMG! The full audio (6 minutes) runs on the first slide (wich has 32 sec audio) and then on slide 2 the audio starts where it's supposed to but goes on an on 'til the end (the full 6 minutes) and on and on... What is the problem here? I can't figure it out. The audio library is fine, and the sound files associationa also. Thanks!

I would avoid it until the technology matures. One video per slide should be just fine. - The Captain Itzel-

One video per slide should be just fine.

There are some editing features for each that will allow you to trim the front of the clip. All other videos must be edited in an external program. - The Captain Sarah-

We are struggling with conversion to HTML 5. In your experience, how does a Capt. holds up when there are multiple videos or multiple audio files on one screen Does it all fall apart in html 5? Or, what happens if you have a video on each screen? Does it fall apart as well? Thanks for the demo. We are struggling with conversion to HTML 5.
