CSUN accessibility sessions video now available for download

With assistance from Joanie Diggs at Carroll Tech (part of the Carroll Center for the Blind in Massachusetts), I'm happy to report that downloadable video editions of the CSUN accessibility sessions are now available. These supplement the audio-only editions that are already available, and are encoded in the open source Ogg Theora format. Ogg Theora players are available for all desktop systems; the latest Helix Player (known on Windows as Real Player 10) can play them. Like the companion Ogg Vorbis format, Ogg Theora provides better compression at similar quality (or better quality at similar file sizes) than their commercial and proprietary counterparts.

Here is the Introduction to Orca video recording [53 MB].
Here is the Introduction to Orca Scripting video recording [45 MB].
Here is the Open Document Format Accessibility Panel discussion video recording [96 MB].

Note: the original streaming videos remain available for viewing from TV Worldwide (and still require that the client viewing them is a Windows system). See their CSUN coverage page for these three sessions, among others, that they are hosting there. (2006-07-27 11:06:36.0) Permalink
