Pie Menu Video Demos
Streaming QuickTime Video
Pie Menu
Demos by Don Hopkins.
I am making these 320x240 resolution streaming QuickTime movies available for free.
They are compressed to require at least the bandwidth of DSL.
You may need to upgrade to the
latest version of QuickTime
in order to view them. But it will be worth it since it's streaming video,
so it will start playing quickly without downloading the whole file,
and you can skip around and fast forward over the boring parts.
If you would like your own
high quality full resolution copies
of any of these demos on video tape,
please contact
Don Hopkins,
and I will be glad to make you a tape
with just what you want for a reasonable price,
with a discount for educational uses.
