Which video players can play the VIVA PBS files?
Any video player which can handle MPEG 4 files and the H.264 codec can play the video files. The default video player for the project is QuickTime. The most recent version of QuickTime is available for free download at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Even though it is distributed by Apple, QuickTime player will work on both Apple and Windows computers. A number of other commercial video players, open source players and browser plug-ins are also capable of playing MP4, H.264 streaming video files but there is no guarantee that players or plug-ins other than QuickTime will work with the VIVA PBS streaming videos. It is also important to note that video players and plug-ins will need to be updated on a recurring basis to ensure that you are not exposed to security vulnerabilities associated with out-of-date video software.
