Video playback and downloads

We've paid a great deal of attention to the various video files in this resource to ensure that they are available to the great majority of users with the minimum of fuss. The videos utilise a sophisticated streaming solution with the goal of ensuring seamless playback across different operating systems and browsers, on both desktop and mobile devises.

If, however, you find the streaming videos will not play for you, for either technical reasons or practical reasons, the various video files are available to download for use offline.

We offer these video downloads in both the industry-standard #MP4 format, and the open-source alternative #OGG format.

If you require a media player for offline video playback, we recommend the #VLC Media Player.

Changing text sizes

All web browsers have some built-in provision for altering the size of text on screen. Normally this is achieved from the keyboard using the following shortcuts:

• CONTROL (CMD on Mac) and '+' to make text larger/zoom in
• CONTROL (CMD on Mac) and '-' to make text smaller/zoom out
• CONTROL (CMD on Mac) and '0' to return to the default setting

In some legacy browsers (such as Internet Explorer 6) it's necessary to adjust text sizes from a menu. To do so select 'View / Text Size' from the menubar and increase/decrease the size of the text.
