How can I play video on my StrandVision digital signage?

You need a specially created flash file. You can work with StrandVision to do this development from most video formats, or you can create a flash file with these technical specifications.

I've converted a video file to flash format (swf). It plays fine with Macromedia Player 8, but when I try to include in a video page, it displays "unable to load first page".

Turns out that in order to be compatible with Linux/Unix, our player is set up for flash version 7. If you change your publish settings to version 7, it should work. Remember that the system has to use the standalone player (two files stored to your c: directory), you need to put the video file in the same directory, and specify the filename (with the .swf) in your playback settings on the web. If it doesnt, please give me a call at home this weekend and I'll see if I can walk you through the process. I am listed in the phone book in Eau Claire, WI (dont want to put the number on a public forum for easy grabbing).
