How To Play Quicktime Movies on DITC
Most pages in DITC have one or more QuickTime™ movies
ready for you to view. By clicking on the control buttons
immediately below the movie's screen, you can:
| 1 |
Change the volume during replay |
| 2 | Play or pause the movie |
| 3 |
Slide the round button to skip to another part
of the movie |
| 4 |
Move backwards and forwards frame-by-frame through
the video clip. NOTE: Rapidly clicking on either
button achieves a slow-motion playback effect |
| 5 |
Change selected Quicktime settings |
When playing any movie, you can note the movie's clock
in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Use this
time feature to refer to a specific section of a DITC
video when discussing them with colleagues. Also, check
for questions at the end of movies for reflection or
discussion with others.
Loading Times
QuickTime lets you see how much of a movie file has
loaded into your computer's memory. Notice that the
slide bar area (3) initially may be white, and will
fill in with a gray from left to right as the movie
gets loaded into memory. This is a fast operation if
you are using DITC on disk or via high-speed internet
connections, but it is noticeably slower with cable
modem and is intolerably slow with dial-up modem. If
you are experiencing slow loading times, request a DVD-ROM,
DVD-movie or VHS-tape version of DITC
in Other Formats.
Download the QuickTime Player
To play a DITC video movie you must have Quicktime
installed on your system. If not, the system will
let you know how to download the program. Go to
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download
to download Apple's most current version. |
