Technical Requirements
to View Video Clips

This web site has many video clips of people using AAC and AT. Whenever possible, we provide two versions of each clip: one in Windows Media format, the other in MacIntosh's Quick Time. However, some clips are in only one of those two formats. Before you continue, you should determine whether you will be able to view one or both types of clips with your current setup. Click on the following links:

If you can see both of these video clips, then you will be able to view all the videos on this site and you need not read any further on this page. If you cannot see one or the other video clips, please read the detailed specifications below.
