Hey Mark,

Mark,

Bunnyfoot are running a open forum on this topic entitled 'Driving
Empowerment and Internationalisation with Accessible Multimedia.'

30 May London W1

Full details and example multimedia file (BBC news article on the UK's first
internet car) with closed captions here:

www.bunnyfoot.com/forum

Windows and real player both produce good results. Quick Time is difficult
to work with and don't expect any support from Apple. But deaf and hard of
hearing people tend to prefer it. - Such is life!

Regards,


Rob.
