The Colloquia Streaming
Page 2000
The colloquia in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Melbourne have been video taped in 2000 and as well as being transferred onto CD-ROM in MPEG format some are now available for download in Quicktime streaming format. You will need to have installed Quicktime 4 or greater and have your browser equipped with the Quicktime plugin.These can be obtained together for free from Apple's web-site. Download page for Quicktime.
The beauty of the streaming format using the Quicktime player is that you do not download the whole file before you can see the movie, and you can start viewing from any place in the movie right away.
By clicking on the images below your browser should automatically fire up the Quicktime application which will then begin streaming the movie from the beginning. However you can then move the slide control so that you can start streaming from any place in the movie. Unless you have Quicktime Pro you won't be able to save the whole movie anyway, but just in case you have, be warned that the modem versions are about 20Mb, and the T1 versions about 100Mb.
The colloquia home page is HERE and the list with abstracts of 2000 colloquia are here.
