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.
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.
NTSC Video Tape, UNIX course only (no additional charge)
PAL Video Tape - Europe and Australia, UNIX course only ($5.00 per tape)
If you select a format that you are unable to play, you may exchange it for a different format.
