Is my computer capable of accessing the content?

First try to access and view our free sample videos. If you are successful in viewing a sample video you should have no problems with any of our content. In general, most modern PC's running the Windows or MAC operating systems will have no issues in accessing the content on our site.

Should you have any difficulty accessing the presentations, you will need to ensure you have installed on your computer the latest version of the Flash Plug-in that you can download free at: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer

If your internet speed if not fast enought to view the videos, audio only versions of all our presentations are available for download in Mp3 format.

Who can view a live broadcast?

Live broadcasts can be private or public. When an event is defined as private to an institution, like a college or an association, the access is only limited to members of this institution. The access to the video will be passworded. If the broadcast is public then all subscribers will be able to access it.

Yes and no. The video of the live broacast will be available for 'on demand' viewing at a later date depends on the arrangement that has been organised between Audio Visual Archives, the speaker and the event organisers.
