I remember the Philips CM205 cd-rom which was advertised in 1991 or so  as 
first multimedia cd-rom drive with so called cd-i support.
Btw. i've never seen a cd-i disc, but it felt good to know that my drive could  
have read such cds. ;)

he he he... I actually made quite a few myself 30 years ago...
I"m currently browsing through various existing tools that allow
to produce interactive videos, but my main goal is to automate
the process of generating them...
Most of these tools aren't cheap. A promising one seems to be
Adobe Captivate which, unless I'm wrong, offers possibilities
to hack the main file format.

Hi jbv

Here’s a tool that can help you create what you’re describing.

Livecode and interactive video

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

I can't help with a LiveCode implementation, but if web delivery is an 
option, I've had good results using the free H5P technology for videos 
that include embedded quizzes of various kinds; I think it does image 
hotspots and branching as well.

video formats for Windows in LC 9.6.5? *solved*

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

Thanks Klaus, Curry, Paul – just changing the suffix didn't help, but 
fortunately, converting the videos to divX format (.avi) with a free 
converter seems to have done the trick.


The target audience is creative/theater types so the simplest solution 
is best here, but that's helpful to know about LAV Filters and the 
situation in general.


Thanks!

Curt

Re: Livecode and interactive video

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

I doubt that will work.  Once you have converted it into a video, it’s just a 
video.
You want to have a video with HTML5 button overlays.   You will probably
have to use Javascript for jumping to the various points in the video.

Let us know what finally works for you.

Cheers,

Rick

LC 10 is supposed to move from DirectShow to Windows Media Framework, 
but I have no idea what d.p. version will make that change (or if it 
will really occur).


DirectShow has limited media file format support. Microsoft (I think) 
saw additional formats as a "third party opportunity". LAVFilters add 
almost all the formats you find with Quicktime or Apple Video Foundation 
(AVF) for DirectShow and the newer Windows Media Framework comes with 
support for most popular formats. So, until a hopeful LC10 release, you 
need to also install LAVFilters to get any sort of parity in support 
media file formats between macOS and Windows in Livecode.

Your Windows app should (encourage users to/) install:

LAV Filters

https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters

(I've heard that a future LC version will add better support.)

did you try to just change the suffix to -> .mp4 ?
However Windows should also accept .m4v

video formats for Windows in LC 9.6.5?

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

A client has asked me to update a project from a few years ago that 
includes a few videos. In the previous version we used clips in MP4 
format with the suffix .m4v;  the codecs (judging from Get Info on a 
Mac) are H.264, AAC. These worked well on both platforms before.


With LiveCode 9.6.5 on Windows, the .m4v videos are not showing – 
there's just a blank space above the control bar. I'm seeing this in 
Windows 11, and clients have confirmed the same on their end with 
Windows 7 and 10. The .m4v videos do play OK on my system in Windows 
Media Player, and I am able to play an .avi video in LiveCode on my system.


Are there any tips for using H.264 videos on Windows with 9.6.5?

Thanks!

Re: Livecode and interactive video

[jbv via use-livecode]

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your answer. That was actually my very first option,
but it remains the most simple one.
I am now exploring a new option : generate an HTML5 animation and
then convert it to a video format. I'm just wondering if hotspots
(mostly to offer viewers options for branching to different segments
of the video) will be kept after the conversion...


Le 2022-01-20 15:45, Rick Harrison via use-livecode a écrit :

You could probably do it on your own website with LiveCode server.

It would not work with YouTube though.

You might however be able to publish an optional link to
your interactive video on YouTube just below a video
you have posted.

You could say something like:  To try the interactive
version of this video, please click on the link below.

Good Luck!

Rick

Hi list,
This might be a dumb question but anyway...
Imagine a simple quiz made of a succession of static slides, each 
slide featuring a question and 4 possible answers.
When the user clicks 1 answer, he gets notified if he's right or 
wrong, then a comment about the right answer is displayed, and then 
the user clicks to move to the next question.
At the end, a final screen shows the score and some additional 
comments.


This is easily done with LC. But is there a way to export such an app 
from LC into a format compatible with an interactive video for youtube 
for instance ?


Thanks in advance.
