The Digital Media Service allows you to search for content, preview it and then download the media for on demand use. The digital repository includes: videos licensed by the Utah Instructional Media Consortium, local programs from KUED-7, National PBS programs, as well as media from other trusted education partners.

They are both media players, meaning they recognize movie files and play them for you, complete with controls for fast forwarding, volume, pausing, etc. The difference is that they are each intended for different audiences/users. QuickTime is largely for the Mac system audience, while Windows Media Player is largely for the PC system audience. Almost all eMedia videos give you the option of downloading a QuickTime or a WMV video, so that Mac and PC users alike have equal access to our excellent media collection!
Where your video file goes once it is downloaded depends on your browser settings. In most browsers you should receive a prompt after clicking on "Download Now" asking you what you would like to do. Select the option "Save to disk" then you will be able to choose where you'd like the file to go. If all else fails, check your desktop - that's the default setting for most browsers.
Internet Explorer handles the way a media asset is downloaded differently than the other browsers. There are some settings that will need to be adjusted before you will be able to download anything from eMedia. You can find instructions on how to do this by clicking here.
eMedia offers various file formats and sizes for you to download based on your connection speed and computer operating system. You should always download the "Video for Download" version of the item.
