Video
The video on this site is best viewed
over a broadband connection of 300kbps or above. We have tried to strike a balance between accessibility
and bandwidth.
To view the video requires
the 'Flashplayer' browser plug-in to be installed
on the users machine. The majority of todays browsers
have a version built in as standard. If the video
does not play correctly, the latest version, which
offers substantially improved video quality, is available as a free download
from www.macromedia.com (be sure to deselect the option to install the 'Yahoo' toolbar if not required).
The
download/installation process is a simple task for
the user. The download is 480Kb, and the download
page will play an animation to demonstrate the installation
has been successful. The software does not interfere
with any other installed software. With a broadband
connection the process should take less than 5 minutes.
If the automatic installation process is not successful, you can download the full Flash/Shockwave installer program.
Audio
The
audio files on this site are in the popular 'mp3'
format. These will play in all media players. The
average file size is 1.4 Mb, making them accessible
to users on dial-up connections as well as broadband.
The files can be saved to the users machine by right-clicking
on the link and selecting 'save target as' (or similar
depending on the browser in use).
PDF
files
The individual reports that make up each programme
are available as ordinary web pages and also in the
Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). This
format is convenient if you wish to print the reports
(without the web page navigation elements), or to save
them to your computer.
To access the files you will need the free 'Acrobat
Reader' software installed on your machine. It can
be downloaded from the Adobe
web site.
