Video files:
These
.avi
videos were made from the DVDs offered for sale in
the media sales
section of this website.
They have been tested by a few people using
the Windows Media Player (WMP) and Nero's video
viewing app.
Mac and Linux users can find .avi players readily
available for their systems.
A fast internet connection is necessary to 'stream'
video from the website.
If you don't have a fast internet connection then
you can download them (use "save link as" type
command) at dial up speed
and later view them from your computer.
As of
June 2012 these videos are
available
on our Youtube account in higher resolution and with audio.
Youtube has the ability
to "stream" (ie watch in real time) vs having to download a film
and watch it on your computer.
There are utilities available on the web to capture Youtube
videos and store them on your personal computer if desired.

Comments
on
the
Windows
Media Player: although the size of these
video frames is relatively small (typically under
300 pixels wide)
you can enlarge the video in a couple of ways.
First, if you change screen resolution on your
monitor to a lower resolution
such as 800x600 then the apparent size of the video
increases. A free useful utility which can change
screen resolution
"on the fly" is Multires which can be downloaded at
http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/multires.shtm. The
WMP will also resize the display if you "drag" a
corner
to make the player's window larger or if you click
the player's maximize button. Current
versions
of
the media player offer a 200% (2x larger) option.
Please send feedback

allows. If you have or know of films that are not
available here and you feel should be added to this
