I have a college project and I have a presentation almost done using adobe captivate. It saved as a .cptx file. My lecturer left a message online saying that it has to be an .swf file. There is no option on captivate to convert it to an .swf. When I export it to flash and play it, it is completely blank and none of my work appears.
Any ideas as to how I can convert my .cptx to .swf? (With the presentation coming out as it did on captivate)
Thanks.
To convert a cptx file to a SWF you need to 'publish' your project. Go to File > Publish and choose the SWF option (this may be different depending on which version of Captivate you're using).
Hope this helps.

It is an ancient binary file extension, actually a video file created by Inter-Tel Web Conference software. It contains a screen recording video and voice audio, and also can capture the keyboard chat log, attendees and the document manager window during a conference. It can be played with Inter-Tel Collaboration Player, a standalone application included with the Web Conference software package.
What I am trying to do now is finding a way to play these files on mobile, although Inter-Tel Collaboration Player offers exporting the files in AVI format, I want to know how to make a command line script for that because the application have lots of problems with Windows 7,8,10 and don't have a Mac OS version.
What is the way to create a new player for that kind of extensions?
"Linktivity stopped support on this app, http://linktivity.com even disappeared from the web..."
It seems they were bought out by Mitel Software so now everything is under the Mitel brand name.
"I just want to find a way to manipulate this file extension, a new good player for mobile and computer"
To open/edit those .lrec files with modern software you'll have to look at their :
Collaboration products.
Unified Communication products.
I tried :
To contact them just to double-check facts but they expect a realtime phone conversation with a salesperson so it wasn't an option. I'd be a fake potential customer, but you can provide a real-world issue (with background details) to see if they can solve it.
Also downloaded for Android the MiCollab app but it needs login details before even starting anything (so no progress to just check if an .lrec file from PC would open within Android).
Export videos for mobile playback :
I've tried the desktop software. Unfortunately it does not accept external commands so there is no way to make a script that takes multiple lrecs and gives back multiple AVI.
The only option is to extract frames from .lrec bytes and use a tool like FFmpeg to combine the images (since appears to do image grabs as frames) into one .MP4 video. MP4 is then playable on mobile devices.
Also any of your existing AVI files should be converted with FFmpeg to MP4.
You can download FFmpeg for Windows here (just the big blue button, ignore other options).
Copy the ffmpeg.exe file to some folder like c:\ffmpeg and put your avi's there.
Now open Command prompt and do cd C:\ffmpeg to reach folder, then type : ffmpeg -i filename.avi filename.mp4 (replace filename with preferred for input and output)
If you know how, just include ffmpeg.exe path to Control Panel PATH settings so that FFmpeg can be accessed from any folder (no need to move files to its own folder).
PS:
I am still researching how to get the frames it's an akward format without the specs (bytes order is Big Endian but then entry values are filled as Little Endian, then also not sure whether to reverse every two or four bytes cos it's mixed up like that etc and the pixel bytes themselves seem to have compression but it's not JPEG more like ZIP or whatever). Only confirmed bytes so far are for video width and video height. It seems doable though if the .lrec only contains screen recordings.
After some research, I found that Media Player Classic can play .lrec files. I don't know, if this helps you a bit.
For a own video player for your company, you would need the encoding infos or a decoder directly from Inter-Tel since they own the licences, without it you can't create one.
Edit: Deprecated info see comments.
So I have an old dictionary on my pc, pretty old that I cannot find
any track of it's developer or the website (I guess it hasnt even been released
as an official software). I have a personal project of mine and I might need some
of this words translated (about 200-300) and I see that inside the data folder that
contains the database/list of files but Im unable to extract or read this files.
Is there any way to extract or convert these .bin files to a text format or something
readable. I've used some tools like (alcohol 120%, isobuster, magiciso, Izarc) but with
no luck. I keep getting and error message saying it is not a valid cd image file.
So I'm thinking maybe this type of .bin files are not like .bin or .iso cd files that
you can mount and read and something else might be in this case.
If you have any information kindly reply with
your suggestions.
Thank you alot.
You can try using the strings utility to extract the strings out of the file. It comes with any Linux distribution and if you are on Windows, you can get it from Windows Sysinternals.
If you are lucky and the words are not encoded, you may be able to get at the data you are looking for.
.bin is one of those extensions that has been way overused, and could be anything... What did the file come from originally? Do you need to convert these words and store them back in the original file (in their transformed form), and then expect the original app to work correctly?
I had these bunch of maya files on my hard drive. Unfortunately, my hard drive crashed, and I had to give it for data recovery. Now, those maya files got recovered as .anm files.
Is there a way to convert them back to maya ascii or maya binary files? ANM files are described as being "3d Image File"! Those files are very important to me for a project that I'm working on.....
I've really drawn a blank from the intertubes so far.
Thanks in advance,
S
PS : the files belonged to maya 2008 - maya 2010.
Here's a sample:

As a Maya artist, I've not encountered anm files yet, but according to this site:
http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23480&sid=d2f60eb43548e316a4c563ececccaf28 "A bit of google finds that .anm is a proprietary format which supposedly can be opened in Maya, though even that looks questionable." Have you tried loading the Maya importers under plugins? Have you tried just opening them in Maya or importing it? If not, this may sound silly, but it works for some files, try changning the extension file.anm to file.mb or file.ma and then try opening it.
To import or export them you need to enable the AnimImportExport.mll plugin in you maya plugin manager.
The file format is documented here. It looks pretty simple.
I really want to know what the XAP file on Windows Phone 7 is; how important it is; and how I can create it. Could you help me?
XAP is the application package - it is the distributable unit that allows you to install the application on a device (or emulator). Basically, it is a ZIP file with a different extension. If you change XAP to ZIP, you'll be able to read its contents fairly easy.
The XAP file format was inherited from standard Silverlight, and since WP7 is built around the same fundamental core, the file format remained unchanged.
Here is a pretty good description of what it does (remember, that even though it talks about Silverlight, the same main idea applies to WP7):
http://beyondrelational.com/blogs/dinesh/archive/2010/08/18/what-is-xap-file.aspx
In addition to Dennis' excellent post, one other thing about a XAP file - it's a ZIP file - so if you want to look inside one, then just rename it to .zip and then open it using a normal ZIP browser (e.g Windows explorer)
My doubt is related to the storage of Error/Warning Messages.
For example I wrote a C program in Eclipse IDE and compiled. The Error/Warning Messages are displayed in the problem tab.
If this is the situation which file in my computer contains the Error/Warning Messages. I need to know the location of this file because I am doing a project related to IDE creation.
Any suggestions or Ideas?
First of all you should know that what you see in Problems view in eclipse has not been saved as a log file in plain text. But if you want to see it:
1- Under each workspace there is a folder named ".metadata" . In linux it is a hide folder and you have to choose show hide files. I am not sure about windows.
2- open this path ".plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/" under ".metadata".
3- choose the sub folder with the project name. (The project you want to see prolems for it).
4- there is two files holding the problems named ".markers" and ".markers.snap"
As said this is under Linux. Under windows may be it differs. But it should be something like this.
Not every text editor opens these files. I used emacs!
