Use of streamed video with MediaNotes?

Submitted by will.monroe on Mon, 06/23/2008 - 6:00pm.

Fellow Teknoids,

During Gene Koo's session on MediaNotes, "The Nuts and Bolts of Using
MediaNotes to Teach Skills", someone tried using Quicktime reference
movies as a substitute for actual locally-saved media files and,
apparently, had success. If you are that person would you be willing
to share the details of how you accomplished that on the wiki or over
the listserv? This would be a very convenient solution to the problem
of transferring video files.

Thanks,

Will

I'd be curious what VLC does with them.

Of course I'm assuming that permissions aren't coming into play...

Subject: [teknoids] recovered videos will not play

A faculty member used a school laptop and webcam to record some student
trial ad presentations.

He returned the laptop without transferring the files to his own media.
He called 4 hours later, to ask me to make a DVD from the files.

Our people had correctly deleted the files and cleared the recycle bin
already.

We attempted to recover the files with "Undelete Plus". It created
files that are the correct size and with the correct name and extension,
but they do not play (tried Windows media player, wmp classic,
quicktime) or allow video editing software (tried sony vegas, windows
media encoder). The files are .wmvs. Any suggestions?
