Included on this CD are three MPEG-1 video files: low-resolution, high-resolution, and low resolution with open captioning (subtitles). The low-resolution files will play well on older systems, while the high-resolution version will require a faster computer to display its better quality. Any of the files can be played by Windows Media Player, Apple Quicktime or RealPlayer software (not included) or other MPEG-1-compatible playback software. [System requirements and additional specifications].
