Supported media types

The Publisher supports a wide variety of the most popular types of media found in all aspects of multimedia and the Internet. With such a wide selection, your title can host dazzling video, sound, animations, and even three-dimensional interactive movies. The following chart illustrates the media types that the program supports.

The recommended media file types are .mp3 audio and .mp4 video. Lectora will attempt to convert audio media to .mp3 and video media to .mp4 if the program encounters the audio and video file types from this list.
