Video Technology and Applications

On this page, find where to get and how to use video capabilities on computers and websites. This page has been around a while, since before the turn of the century. Attempts have been made to update it, but stuff toward the bottom may be the most dated. I'm tending to put the newest material toward the top. At the moment I'm in the process of collecting information on utilities I've had laying around in various places into this one place (for my own reference of course, bonus if it helps you as well).

What video host is best? Worldbridges.net has a page on "Online screencast video comparison" at http://www.edtechtalk.com/node/1742 with "examples of the same screencast encoded by different video sharing sites. The orignial video was encoded as a 640x480 .mov file. They were all pretty easy to upload and embed. Which do you think produces the best quality video?" The sample for comparison is a recording of a screencast of an EdTechTalk episode, so worth watching as well. (Aug 2007) . Meanwhile here are some sites that have come to the attention of Webheads:

Captioning

Open Captioning
Open caption video is "subtitled" film, where the subtitles appear on the screen along with the film.

Closed Captioning
Another method of subtitling is closed caption, where the subtitle is buried on a track which can be viewed give the presence of a decoder. This decoder has been mandatory on tv's produced in the USA for the past several years.
