When you add a video file (MP4 or WMV) to a presentation, it is available for on-demand viewing as a video-only presentation.
Considerations when uploading video files
•To add slides to a presentation created by uploading a video file, you must use Mediasite Editor (web-based or desktop).
•When you add a video file to a presentation, the presentation’s server group must include a server that serves that video type. If you want to upload a WMV file, the server group must include a Windows Media On-Demand Server. If you want to upload an MP4 file, there must be a Progressive Download On-Demand Server.
•WMV video files using unsupported codecs may upload successfully. However, you may experience playback problems and the Mediasite Editor may not be able to open the file. To avoid playback issues, we recommend using .wmv files that use the following codecs:
o Audio Codec: Windows Media Audio 9.*
o Video Codecs: Windows Media Video 9 OR Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile
To add a presentation using a video file:
1. Add presentations as described in Adding presentations. On the presentation’s Summary page, click Upload New Video.
2. Navigate to the video file you want and click Open. The amount of time it takes the video to upload will depend on how busy your Mediasite is.
3. Once Mediasite processes the video, the presentation’s visibility is set to Private.
