Technical specifications: We are currently working on cross-browser functionality. VD for the moment works in the Firefox/Safari browsers on a Mac and PC. (Firefox is available as a free open source download) Initially, we developed the player around the Apple proprietary media player QuickTime which is also needed to view video in VD. (QuickTime is available for free as a download and can be run on a Mac and PC.) We are know working on a version of VD that will use the Flash player which will allow producers and users to use either of these two players.

More on VD: Information on how to prepare content for VD and use the VD player is in the blogged post ‘VD in a nutshell’.
