In order to play Quicktime files, you must use the Quicktime Player, which is available for both Windows and Macintosh. Quicktime version 7 or higher is required.

This Quicktime movie is encoded with H.264 / AAC, which uses the latest innovations in compression technology to provide incredible video and audio quality.

You can download a Quicktime movie by selecting one of the sizes above. The following sizes are available:

Small - 270 x 180 frame size. File size: 40 MB

Medium - 420 x 280 frame size. File size: 82 MB

Large - 570 x 380 frame size. File size: 150 MB

X-Large - 720 x 480 frame size. File size: 219 MB

Once you click on a size, the file will begin downloading to your computer. Depending on your system configuration and browser, your media player may launch automatically and begin playing the movie. If the movie does not begin automatically, you can press the Play button on your media player.

Downloading is progressive, which means that you can only view that portion of the file that has been downloaded. Once the file is fully downloaded, however, you can move through the movie arbitrarily by moving the progress bar slider on your media player.

If the movie starts and stops playing while you are downloading it, that means that your media player is playing the file faster than your computer can download it. Either wait until the file is fully downloaded, or select a smaller file size.

Downloading is progressive, which means that you can only view that portion of the file that has been downloaded. Unlike streaming, you cannot fast forward or rewind a movie. Once the file is fully downloaded, however, you can move through the movie arbitrarily by moving the progress bar slider on your media player.

Streaming

The streaming format is only available for Windows users. If you are on a Macintosh, you will need to use the "Downloads" format instead.

The streaming format is available in two different speeds:

256K - This speed is best for slower connections, such as dial-up connections.

512K - This speed is best for broadband (DSL and cable modem), T1, and other high-speed connections.

Streaming a movie allows you to fast forward, rewind, or move to any point in the movie by using the controls of your media player.

To begin streaming a movie, simply click one of the speeds following the "Streaming:" label, above.

If the movie stops and starts or frequently rebuffers, that means that your connection is not fast enough to support the speed you have chosen. In that case, you can select a slower speed.
