Is it just me?

Riddle me this, Batman...One of the selling points for this new version of Lectora 2008 was its amazing ability to take all videos that were inserted in the project and encode them to FLV (Flash Video) files, and then play them using http://www.jeroenwijering.com video player...Sounds good right?Well, now we find out that RM videos don't work. (No testing, guys?) And now, I stick a bunch of WMV videos in the project, and publish it. During the publish process, it converts them to FLVs, but HELLO??? the project still points at the WMV files. So you get a video player with no video. Since the documentation is LAME and poorly written, there are no guidelines on how one is supposed to do this. Am I supposed to publish a course, go back into the course, and then edit every single video to point at the correct FLV, and then re-publish the course? Really?Pardon my tone, but I am very dissapointed in the 2008 release. It sure seems like it was rushed to delivery and basic testing and documentation was abandoned in favor for planning and designing the packaging of the software.The 1st service pack has done nothing to solve the video issue, so maybe the 2nd will help.I love the 2006 and 2007 versions, but 2008 - I don't think so. I hope the developers get their act together and concentrate on producing a quality product.
