Any www.dartmouth.edu account with more than one occurrence of a
file larger than 10MBs should have a companion account on
media.dartmouth.edu to house those large files.
There are two servers available to Dartmouth Web site account holders
for storing media files:
- streaming.dartmouth.edu - not downloadable but streamed
(meaning plays instead of downloaded to local computer)
- media.dartmouth.edu - downloadable
- for .ppt, .wmv, .mp3 and similar files
For Copyrighted Files That are Not Downloadable
Streaming.dartmouth.edu hosts audio and video files in the
QuickTime format that are not downloadable, but stream directly from the
server. Please work with the Webmaster to establish an account if
you do not have one. Contact Web Services to get the file(s) established
and linked appropriately on the server and for assistance.
For Non-Copyrighted, Downloadable Files, Including Podcasts
Media.dartmouth.edu hosts audio, video, PowerPoint
presentations, large files, in addition to any file that is larger than 10 MB.
All are downloadable to the users computer. Depending on the users
connection, downloads of larger files (greater than 2 MB) may take as long as
eight minutes.
Establishing an account on this server is also done through the Webmaster.
Podcasts
Podcasts are handled via download and not by streaming.
You will need to have some way to generate an RSS feed, as well as offer a
way for users to subscribe. Please contact Web Services for assistance.
