Re: [ARSCLIST] embeded audio
From our multi-media gurus here at Columbia:
CU has never supported Windows Media, to my knowledge, and I don't know
the historical reasons. CUIT supports streaming servers for Real and
QuickTime only.
I think we prefer the quality standards of QuickTime audio and video,
and the fact that the QT player is typically bundled with iTunes makes
it a nice standard platform for both Mac and PC. It also allows us to
do enhanced podcasting (which is limited to the AAC format, which is
specific to iTunes).
On the user side, Microsoft no longer makes a Windows Media player for
Mac, but there's a free plugin called Flip4Mac that allows you to play
WMA/WMV clips in the QuickTime player.

Hi all. We are developing an oral history collection where we will be
uploading transcripts into a content management system (ContentDM) and
would like to embed the audio right into the transcript. We are
looking for pros and cons of using Quicktime and Windows Media Player
to do this. We are a dual platform college campus, so it is essential
that whatever we choose works on both MAC and PC. If you have
examples of projects you have done that you can send me the link to,
we would love to take a look at some existing projects too. Thanks
for your feedback....
