Help with the right tools.

I agree with Bens analysis... you need to have user input, via a click, to an object such as a button or similiar, which does not appear until after the video is watched entirely.The desire to see how much of a video is watched, to me [only my opinion here] seems a bit like creating work for the sake of creating work and analysis.If the desire is to get a customer or user to watch a video, then we need to determine if they watched the whole thing. If you are concerned about a user watching only half of it and getting out, then the video is too long... split it into multiple sections and determine, via the tracking methods Ben recommended, if the user watched the whole thing and then move on to the next lesson.Trying to track progress mid poing will be hard... might be for a Flash Expert in this forum who goes by CDCJoe... other wise try simply having the user click a button, which has actions on it to relay to the LMS that the item was completed.You can pass a completed status for the lesson in Lectora, and that would do it, as the button to do this action will only appear if the video is watched the whole way through.Other ideas might include using a streaming server, where you can have the associated trigger file, this might perform certain trigger points mid stream for you.Install Windows Media Encoder, and then click on it (start menu) and navigate to Media Media - Utilities - Windows Media File Editor... this is where you can test this theory. The program is free, it is fairly intiutive, you will be up and running with test files in a few hours, but you will need to host the videos on a Streaming Server...I hope this helps...get back to us.
