Couple of things: Just tried to upload an MP4 again. The file browser window is still not recognising MP4. In the past I have manually changed the extension to .MOV so the file browser could see it. That hack has stopped working. To get around this I am loading to Youtube, then pointing the video into Kaltura, which is a really sweet feature btw! Tried the "URL" load, wasn't sure how it worked, tried to point it to a Blip.tv page but it didn't find any video.. (is it a search feature, or a URL loader?) Will try pointing directly to a URL movie file.. needs clarification in the interface I think..
On the instruction page for Collaborative Video<http://wikieducator.org/index.php/Special:KalturaCollaborativeVideoInfo>on Wikieducator, the instructions are just a bit out. I notice that the page cannot be edited by me (why?), and the 3rd dot point in the instructions says: - Click on "Generate Code" when it should say: - Click on "Generate Tag" On Jan 28, 2008 9:49 AM, Leigh Blackall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > you guys sure are on to it!
