Each Movie is available in two different formats, each for a specific type of media player or purpose. Both file formats are immediately downloadable. Here are the file types, and their primary uses. Note: These files will NOT produce a DVD - see here.

NOTE: If you have already downloaded one type and want the other type, simply email or call Craig Reynolds with a request

Format:

exten.

Flash File

.swf

This format is "obsolete" and will no longer play in browsers of native palyers on PC's and Mac's (since 2020). You must have a Flash player installed on your computer for this to run.

See the next section for the solution:

Ruffle
Flash-Player
for PC

.exe

Select the"_PC" .zip file to download for your Windows PC and un-zip it. You will find a FLASH ".swf" movie file and a folder containing a RUFFLE FLASH VIDEO PLAYER.

Instructions for installing the RUFFLE FLASH PLAYER on your Windows PC and opening the movie file are included in the download. The advantage of this file type is that it is very easy to use, and the viewer can be re-sized to fit your viewing area.

Use the .mp4 video for embedding into a Power-Point presentation (see the next section.)

NOTE: This is an executable application (program) that runs a Flash Player.

MP3 video

.mp4

This format will play on all PC's and Macs, using ka wide variety of media players

This version can be most easily integrated into Power Point presentations.

Both types come with a READ_ME_FIRST text file that you can read before you even extract the contents of the zip archive, by (for PCs) right-clicking the zip file and choosing [OPEN]

Note regarding PowerPoint presentations: You can include an mp4 file in a PowerPoint (2007 or later) presentation.
