The UDUTU was not difficult to use but the media controls leave a lot to be desired. My project, a software tutorial created in Captivate 2.0, only publishes to a .swf file. From there I had to convert it to a .mov file, which is a format that is supposed to be supported by UDUTU, but will not load due to file size. As per the wetpaint wiki, I used the Adobe Encoder to convert the .mov files to .flv files, which then only took about 3 minutes to upload to UDUTU. UDUTU then further compresses and re-scaled the media files, resulting in very poor quality. NOT a tutorial that I would want to distribute to anyone with expectations of any learning to be achieved. Going back to my original Captivate file, I tried to rescale the project from the original source, but it would not reduce sufficiently without loosing a good bit of my screen capture and graphics. To get it the size down effectively, I would have had to re-create the project from scratch, which seemed to onerous a task just to learn how to use UDUTU.
Laura,
What a great idea to share about archiving. Your tutorial is informative and gives good reasons that would benefit a user to answer the question "why" to archive information. I liked the option to choose which video I was interested in watching rather than clicking to the next slide and going in a mandatory format. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
