The FreeBSD 11.0 and 8.0 lectures are available in three formats (older classes are available only on DVD-R in standard-DVD format):
DVD-R in standard-DVD format. This format will play in most consumer DVD players (check here to see if your DVD player can show write-once DVDs). It has the lowest picture quality.
Quicktime-Movie file on DVD-R. The Quicktime movie has a higher quality picture than the DVD-R in standard-DVD format, but only plays on a computer that can show Quicktime movies. There is no additional charge for the Quicktime-movie format.
DVD+R dual-layer in standard-DVD format. This format has a higher quality picture than the Quicktime movie. It will play on most computer DVD drives (certainly on Apple computers) but will not play on most consumer decks. It also includes a scene-selection index to each of the topics (slide, file, or function) being discussed. When ordering physical media, there is a $75.00 charge for this format ($5.00 per lecture for the trial or subscriptions). No extra charge when downloading.
The FreeBSD 11.0 class is also available in a fourth format:
A standard MP4 format video file designed to play on any device with an MP4 player. This format has the highest quality picture. It will play on most computers and tablets and some high-end phones. It also includes a scene-selection index to each of the topics being discussed. Each lecture is about 20 gigabytes in size so is too big to fit on a DVD disk. Thus, the MP4 option is only available for download.
If you select a format that you are unable to play, you may exchange it for a different format.
Trial: If you are unsure whether the course is for you or are unsure which variant of the course you wish to order, I offer a trial option which lets you buy just the first lecture from the course. The trial option contains only the video for the first lecture and the source-code CD-ROM but not the printed course notes.
Please note that I offer a 25% discount to people that can make a plausible hardship case and a 50% discount to full-time students. Please contact me at mckusick@mckusick.com to verify that you qualify and to get instructions on how to order at the discounted price.
The listed prices are for the latest edition of the class. Other than the trial option, older versions are available at a 33% discount. The lower prices will be reflected when you view the invoice page. Please specify category of course that you wish to order:
