1. To add Flash Video to your learning module, start by creating your FLV file. You can use any encoder that will output an FLV - probably the easiest to start with is Adobe's Flash CS3 Video Encoder.

   \\red5server.com\Red5\webapps\oflaDemo\streams\yourmodule
   

   

   Navigate to EDrive

   

   then to "Red5"

   
   
   ...then to "oflaDemo/streams". Click Make New Folder.
   Name your folder with the learning module topic.
   Click OK.

   Encode Video files

   
   Drag your video file in to the encoder window.

   Set the in and out points if you need to crop off opening or closing footage. You can also do this in the playlist by setting a start point and a duration, without altering the video file.
