Another tip: WebM starts but does not run - watch the path
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:10 am
At a certain moment I did create a new movie (HTML5 - WebM).
When I build that movie I tried to view it. However, it started but did not run!
There was no warning or error message.
After investigating this phenomenon I discovered that the path name was too long. Actually it was 265 characters. On the internet I found out that it might be risky above 160 characters, which certainly has to do with 32-bit systems. Personally I think that if MadCap develops its software also as 64-bit applications it would be resolved.
So I reduced the length of the names and then my movie was running!
It is a pity there is no kind of warning as it took me a lot of time to find out (the rendering!!)
I hope this will help other users when running in this kind of problems.
