Introduction
to Audio and Video on the Web
A short primer on the
process and requirements for audio and video on the web.
Getting
an Account at URI
Media accounts are currently restricted to faculty
and staff. The web master and WebCT administrator have asked
that, because of their size, media files not be stored on
the web server (www.uri.edu) or the WebCT server. The media
server (http://media.uri.edu) is the correct storage site for
these files.
Information
about the Media Server at URI
The URI media server (media.uri.edu) is restricted to faculty
and staff. The server is unix and therefore poses certain
restrictions on file names. We also ask that you use certain file
types to make your media more accessible, easier to use and faster
to download.
