I'm in a bind with my projector/Shockwave language learning application.
The user will record her audio homework, and I want it uploaded to my
server. The recording works great using Audio Xtra from Upstage, but it
will not record in a compressed format, such as mp3 or RealMedia. It
records wave files under Windows and aiff files under Mac OS. So the
student will typically have 5 to 7 MB of uncompressed sound files to upload.
Questions:
1) Is there an Xtra to zip the files and then upload them using the FTP
protocol or something similar? I want to do this transparently for the
user--not by starting an external application to do the zipping and
uploading. I know ShockFiler will upload, but it won't zip first.
2) Is there a way to convert wave and/or aiff files to mp3 on the user's
machine before uploading them?
3) Once on the server (Linux or Win2K), what would you use to unzip the
files and then convert the resulting wave or aiff files to mp3 or Real (so
they can be streamed to the teacher who wants to check the homework)?
I know vList includes a zipping function, but I understand that to get the
zipped audio files out of vList, a Director application would have to be
running on the server...that probably wouldn't be a good option.
Any tips will be appreciated.
