Viewing our videos
Many of you may be very familiar with looking at moving images on your computer screen but for debutants wondering how to get to grips with the strange-looking tv-like images in our video presentations here are a few tips from a fellow amateur.
-To play, click on the little triangular/arrowhead icon at the extreme bottom left of the 'screen'/video player inside the article. Sometimes you may have to click twice.
-If the film and sound seem very jerky first time you play them, try again. Very often they need to settle down. (Think of this process a bit like decanting a fine wine to let it acclimatise itself.)
-To hear the sound you will of course have to activate your volume control. On my pc there's a loudspeaker icon bottom right of my computer screen. Right click on it to adjust your volume control and ensure 'mute' is unchecked. There's a further volume control bottom right of the little video player within our articles.
-To stop the film, or go forwards or backwards, just use the icons to the right of the 'play' icon under the screen, just as you would a tape player.
Er, that's it.
