KNOWN ISSUE:
10/29/2007 MP3 recordings are shorter than the lecture was. Although their are several classes that were not recorded properly we've tried to notate those accordingly on the web page. It has been confirmed that in some cases if you press pause while playing back a file only part of the lecture will download to your computer. The temporary work around for PCs is to download the files by right clicking the "MP3" icon and downloading to your hard drive. For Macs Instead of right clicking press Alt + mouse click and it should download to your computer. Once downloaded launch the saved file in your prefered player.
3/15/2007 If you are trying to view the videos in the CLICC lab on campus you will need to use one of the MACs as there is a known issue with viewing the files with the PCs. It is due to the security environment in the CLICC lab. CLICC is aware of the problem and is working with us to resolve it.
GETTING STARTED:
What software do I need to view video streams?
You will need the latest version of the RealOne player. You can download it for free from Real Networks here.
RealNetworks offers two different player products--the BASIC PLAYER (which is free) and the PREMIUM PLAYER (which isn't). The Basic Player free link is not always easy to find. While downloading you may be offerred Premium player, always look for and select the FREE BASIC player, not the "free trial" player.
If you are still having problems accessing the material, please email bruincasthelp@ucla.edu.
WANT MORE INFO?
The Teaching Enhancement Center has created an article on podcasting. Designed for an audience who have heard about podcasting, but aren't quite sure what it is, this FAQ and illustrated article should help bridge that knowledge gap. The article explains what podcasting is, how it differs from other media, how to find and subscribe to podcasts, and takes a look at "vodcasting," the video version of podcasting.
We have created a Frequently Asked Questions page, an in-depth article, and a downloadable PDF of the article.
