What is the Digital Media Service?
UEN's Digital Media Service is a digital media repository filled with video and other educational media free for Utah's educators, students and citizen learners. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why isn't anything happening when I click the "Download Now" button?
There is a good chance you have pop-ups blocked. eMedia uses pop-ups to let you know when your file is downloading. Click here for instructions on how to disable pop-up blockers for eMedia.
-
Where does my file go when I download it?
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.
-
I am using Internet Explorer and the file will not download to my computer.
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.

What is the difference between a QuickTime video and a Windows Media video?
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!
-
The video I am previewing is really poor quality. Can I get a higher quality video for download?
Absolutely. The preview video is intended to be lower quality, since its only purpose is to give you a sampling of the video. To download a higher quality file, click on the "Download now" button, where you'll then be given the option of which video rendition you'd like to download. Both the QuickTime and the Windows Media Player files are higher quality than the Preview video.
