Flash does not work on iOS devices only. It works just fine on Mac laptops, desktops, etc. For portability, QuickTime/MOV delivery may be a universally available option. I would say wait for the new iteration of our player, which will support HTML5 video, but our funding was cut and development has slowed considerably. We'll release the next version sometime this fall, but I've given up on the notion of promising a release date....<br clear="all">

We ran into that at Oregon State, the system we were using to caption/subtitle was slightly off in its time codes. This will happen when you are using Mac technology along with PC technology. Our campus media folks where very helpful in this process, we ran the existing content through the CODEX they were using and it was great. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
