Include Video in CD/DVD/Web Ind Summary Rep.
Posted: 04 Jun 2012 11:15
Video is an increasingly common way of recording family events via smartphones etc. Currently video has to be itemized separately on CD/DVD in the table of contents. Ideally it should appear in the individual summary report along with other media, such as photos for events, thereby maintaining an aggregated and time ordered visual history for a person.
It is straightforward to tweak the html for an individual concerned to include video in the summary as in this example I implemented -
<div class="fhimgwrap fhimgdimc288">
<a href="greenockhighschool.wmv" rel="video" title="Gordon attended the High School in Dunlop Street, Greenock, Scotland from 1957 to 1959.">
<img src="greenockhighschoolvideoframe.jpg" alt="picture" />
</a>
<p>Gordon attended the High School in Dunlop Street, Greenock, Scotland from 1957 to 1959. Click the image to watch a video</p>
</div>
Unfortunately with a lot of videos such manual tweaking becomes a chore and prone to error. Also, every time a new CD/DVD is created for family members the work of editing the html has to be repeated. It would be great to see something like this appear in version 6!
