Therefore, under Windows, I use mplayer as an alternative for audio. I can add a similar workaround for video, but it won't be very pretty, i.e. the videos will play in an external window.
Peter Quoting Ayesha Nicole <[email protected]>:
Thank you. I am using videos from the cd-rom that is included with the textbook. When I right-click and select "add video" and navigate to the file location on the disk, and select the correct file, it will not play back during preview/review? I am unsure what I should do? Thank you. On Monday, October 1, 2012 2:47:50 AM UTC-4, Gnome wrote:You may embed them or save them to your disk. To embed them just click on the 'Share' button under the youtube video and copy the text to your card. Will look something like this: <iframe width="560" height="315" src=" http://www.youtube.com/embed/uRa9fN-6hDs?list=PL25815DF81C77FC4A&hl=nb_NO<http://www.youtube.com/embed/uRa9fN-6hDs?list=PL25815DF81C77FC4A&hl=nb_NO>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> For saving them to your disk you may use a plugin for your browser.

I typed: حَضرَ for part of a word and after I added the next letter after 'raa' ر , is when it pushed the preceding letters of the word, to the far right. So I added a space after 'raa' ر , and then typed the rest of the word [ تُكَ ] and then deleted the space between the raa and the taa and it seemed to work and looks fine. I then tried the same technique of adding a space after the letter 'raa' in the other word 'marHabaa', and then deleted it to see if it would align correctly, but it did not. For the time being, I will have to leave a space in the middle of the word 'marHabaa' so it is readable, instead of scrunched up, although it is technically incorrect. I * think * the letter following 'raa' needs to have a diacritic to anchor preceeding letters in place, but unsure at this moment. I will update this thread with other observations and examples, for others who also work with an Arabic based font. On Sunday, September 30, 2012 10:51:05 AM UTC-4, Ayesha Nicole wrote:Thank you. How do I contact the Qt4 developer to let them know about this issue, please, so they can hopefully fix it? I googled Qt4 and have no idea what I am looking for. :S And what do I tell them exactly, because I am only an end user and not a programmar - unsure what Qt4 and GUI are and how Mnemosyne and Anki use them? I am currently making flashcards for Alif Baa 3e, and on Unit 2 (of 10); and once completed over the next week, I will work on al-Kitaab 3e, Part 1. I am concerned this issue will occur more frequently as I make more complex cards for couplets, phrases, and sentences. A longer term project I am working on involves creating flashcards for each and every word in the Qur'aan (which has 604 pages worth of words!),along with a soundclip (that are being professionally recorded). It wouldbasically be one word per card, with the 'Question' as Arabic text copied from a MS-Word document with the KFGQPC Hafs script (based on handwritten calligraphy) from, along with a soundclip: King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex, released "Quranic Font" with complete typed Data of Quran in MS Word file. Its free Unicode based OTF Font, and complete typed Data you can distribute and forward it to anyone. Website link is; http://fonts.qurancomplex.gov.sa/ For Direct Download OTF font Link http://fonts.qurancomplex-dev.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/UthmanicHafs1-Ver08.zip For Direct Download Word Data file http://fonts.qurancomplex-dev.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Complete-Ver08.zip [I just realized the above site 'has been suspended' which I am certainis temporary and will be back online soon. I will contact a colleague who works there and find out more about it, because I will need to download thelatest font version and document than that from above.] And the 'answer' side of the card would contain the information for each word as seen below (the image, and pronunciation in transliteration, translation, and grammatical information, with a tag of the numbers with colons between them indicating the location of the word in the Surah and ayah, and perhaps I will also add the page number for each word, which is not listed here: http://corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp I also was given some general information about how to import from the data source: http://corpus.quran.com/download/ into Anki, and wonder how would I import it into Mnemosyne? Please let me know how to contact the developer of Qt4 because it is important for me, that this bug to resolved as soon as possible. Thank you again.

And in Mnemosyne, it is not displaying correctly in either editing or preview/review screens. Screen shots are attached for both SRS that may be helpful for you?
