Media Players:


Our webcasts are Windows Media Video files that can be streamed online.

Windows Vista and Windows XP users need Windows Media Player Version 11 in order to view the videos online.

 

Mac OS-X users need Windows Media Player Version 9 in order to view the videos online.

 

Click here to download the latest version.

 

Our podcasts are MP3 files that can be streamed online, or downloaded to your computer. We suggest downloading podcasts directly into iTunes.  This is an excellent way to organize and store your audio files, and to transfer them to your portable media player.

 

Our video podcasts are MP4 files that can be downloaded to your computer. Again, we suggest downloading them directly into iTunes.

 

Streaming Quality and Connection Speed:


The quality of streaming media on the Internet can vary greatly. One factor is the speed of your own connection to the Internet. Unless you have a DSL or broadband connection, the speed is unlikely to be sufficient to handle video over the Internet. Another factor is the overall level of Internet traffic at any given time.

 

While variations in video quality are to be expected, you can do some things to help ensure the best possible performance.

 

  • When Internet traffic is high, streaming video can buffer, pause, hiss, or skip when the connection becomes too thin to consistently support the stream. Try again at a different time of day, or day of the week, when Internet traffic may be lower.
  • Close other unnecessary applications that may be open on your computer.
  • Do not download applications or other media files while watching our videos.
