Purchase Compressed, zip files of the videos can be obtained by a credit card purchase directly from the animation preview page (for details see - How to Buy ). The transaction is performed through PayPal — a secure business site. Once the purchase is cleared, you receive an e-mail containing a web page-link and password to download a zipped file containing the animation and associated information. PayPal does not require an account to make a purchase.
Animation files in Flash™ (swf) format, set up to play automatically in a browser window using the free, Adobe Flash™ player plugin that is installed on most computers. The animations play full screen. The tutorials consist of multiple scenes. The scenes link and play automatically in sequence. Play can be controlled by the user with buttons on a Control Panel located in the corner of each scene. Via the Control Panel, the user may: start and stop play, restart the scene, jump to the next scene, or access the Scene Menu and select any scene. (Test the buttons in the Previews). Movement forward or backward is possible within a scene using the frame-slider bar. Windows Media Video (wmv) Format WMV files play in the Windows Media Player that is normally installed on most PCs. Each scene plays independently and the scenes do not link. Scene play can be controlled by the controls of the Media Player. Making PowerPoint Slides with Flash Flash files play in PowerPoint slides by inserting a URL-link to the Flash file name. During presentation, the URL link is displayed in the slide and selection of the link opens a Flash Player of the scene, over the slide. Detailed instructions for making slides with Flash animations are described in the Read Me file that is provided with the animations. PowerPoint Slides with WMV WMV files insert directly into PowerPoint slides and play full screen within the slide. Each scene can be a single slide. In my experience, the wmv format is preferred for PowerPoint slides, and this is why they are now offered. The wmv zip files are much larger than the Flash™ zip files, and the wmv files require broadband for download, otherwise, the files will be sent on a DVD with a $20 charge for preparation and mailing. All animations are fully narrated in English, unless specified otherwise. PDF files of the scripts are provided. The scripts provide the narrative for educators that may wish to "mute" my description, and present their own description of the subject matter during a lecture. The Flash files are developed for PC-based computers, but Adobe provides a version of the Flash™ plugin player for Apple computers. Colleagues tell me that the Flash™ animations play without problem on their Apple systems. Versions of the animations can also be supplied on DVDs with the animations embedded in PC or Apple versions of standalone Flash™ players. The standalone players do not require the plugin player installation on the computer that is being used. Files linked to the standalone players are convenient for use at meetings and lectures where it is uncertain if the available computers have the latest versions of the plugin players installed. To purchase a DVD with standalone players, please contact me by e-mail (contact@physioviva.com). The charge is $20 for preparation and mailing of the DVD, in addition to the cost of the animation(s). Multiple animations can be put on a single DVD.
