ABSTRACT

Output to videotape – the example used in the last chapter – is just one of several methods available to bring digital video to an audience. Once the video is in one of the standard video formats, copies can be distributed by a variety of methods:

Embedding AVI or MOV files in documents created in wordprocessing applications such as Microsoft Word

Copying the video file to a Zip disk (Figure 9.1) or Jaz disk and sending it by mail Small video files can be transported on Zip disks. For larger files, 2 Gb Jaz disks can be used https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780080504582/9d56a0e4-cbed-445b-95e7-0f8012b675a7/content/fig9_1_C.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
