Improving Audio Quality suggestion

If you are having problems with audio quality, try replacing the Camera and Voice pod with a Share pod displaying a .jpg file of yourself instead of broadcasting paused video. This works because you can have more than one instance of the Share pod on the screen at one time. Using an additional Share pod instead of the Camera and Voice pod reduces bandwidth usage, which, in turn, allows for better quality audio and faster meeting room performance.


Adobe Connect and Active Directory User Bug

Currently there is a bug within Active Directory where only 2,000 users can be queried from Active Directory. Adobe has been made away of this problem and will have a fix in SP1.

Currently we have a work around in place.


Converting a Connect Recording into a MP4 format for Pod Cast

Ok ladies and gents this was a interesting trial which turned out to be a success.

 Here are the steps I took

 

1.  Went to a recorded meeting and selected "Make Offline"

2.  This could be the tedious part but, was not to terrible since this was only a 45 minute  presentation.  To make a recording offline it takes the same amount of time to process.  Just select the location that you would like the recording saved.  It is saved as a .FLV file.

 3.  Once this was done, I took the UTube to MP4 converter and used it for the conversion.  You can get this free software here: http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-YouTube-to-iPod-Converter.htm

1. You need to be the admin on the  machine you wish to launch the meeting

2. Go to the Applications directory and click on the Adobe Connect 7 Icon. 3. Now in this folder click on the Green and White Adobe Connect 7 AddIn Icon.This launches a web browser window.  DO NOT close this window.   

3.  Now in a new internet browser window navigate to the desired meeting room location

4.  You will now get a security pop up window. It is safe to click Ok to proceed.
