Note: The following instructions are solely for English language software. However, these technical concepts do generalize to other languages.

 

  1. HOW TO DOWNLOAD MOVIES: Do you need to save copies of the movies for classroom lecture or other instructional applications?

      O

    • Go to Download Exam Movies Page... From any page that has 'SECTIONS' and the movies that go along with those sections: i.e. Mental Status>Abnormal, Cranial Nerve >Anatomy, etc. Find the button located next to the movie icon. Click this button to go directly to that movie's entry on the Download Exam Movies page.

    • Follow the On-screen Instructions... As the Download Exam Movies page loads in the background, an interrupt message appears asking if you already have a password to unlock the zipped movie files, since these files are password protected. We do want to encourage you to re-use our movies in other teaching materials for appropriate non-commercial, educational use. However, to honor the invaluable contributions and generosity of the many patients who appear in our movies, we ask you to fill out a request form that tells us a little about who you are and how you will re-use the movie clips. When the request is approved, you will receive an e-mail with the password to unlock the zipped movie files.

    • Download Zipped Movies... On the Download Exam Movies page, locate the title of the movie (or group of movies) you wish to download and click the button next to that title.

      What happens next will depend on several factors: which browser you’re using, how that browser handles .zip files, and how your computer is set up to handle downloads, as well as other factors.


      Follow the instructions, if any, to choose a location and save the .zip file that is being downloaded to your local hard drive. If there are no instructions, look for the file on the Desktop or in a ‘DOWNLOADS’ folder on your hard drive once the download is complete.

    • Extract Zipped Movies... Now that you have the .zip file on your local drive, you will need a software program that allows you to open .zip archives. If you don’t already have a program, you can download for free one called StuffIt Expander from SmithMicro using these links...
      Expander for Windows
      Expander for Mac

      When you use one of these "unzip" utilities to extract the .zip archive and save the movie(s), a dialog box appears, asking you to enter the password. Once you enter a password and save the movie file, you can play the clip directly from your local hard drive and re-use the movie in lectures, PowerPoint or Keynote presentations, quizzes, exams, problem-based learning cases, multimedia learning objects, or websites. Movies that you re-use in your own applications do not have to be password protected; they can be open to students worldwide. Click on this link to read the specific re-use guidelines.
      • Still can't unzip a downloaded movie because of an error?
        First, launch your unzipping utility (such as the free StuffIt Expander for Win or Mac).
        Second, from your unzipping utility, point to the movie you downloaded.
        Third, enter the password to unlock the zipped movie(s).




  2. HOW TO FIX MESSY FONTS: Does your web page look like this?



    If so, you need to adjust the "Text Zoom" or "Font Display Size" for your web browser software.

    • For Internet Explorer on Windows Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > TEXT SIZE. Select a different size, usually smaller.
    • For Internet Explorer on Macintosh Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > TEXT ZOOM. Select a different size, usually smaller.
    • For Netscape on Windows Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > DECREASE FONT
    • For Netscape on Macintosh Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > DECREASE FONT
    • For Firefox on Windows Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > TEXT SIZE > DECREASE
    • For Firefox on Macintosh Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > TEXT SIZE > DECREASE
    • For Safari on Macintosh Computers:
      • Use the menu VIEW > MAKE TEXT SMALLER




  3. HOW TO SHOW CLOSED CAPTIONS:

    Logo for Closed Captioning

    We are pleased to announce that as of November 2012 the QuickTime 640x480/640x360 versions of the movies now include closed captions in English. Complete instructions for turning captions ON or OFF are available. From the options in the left-hand menus, look for the link to "HOW TO SHOW CLOSED CAPTIONS Closed Captions icon."

    Summarized below is the quick version of the instructions for turning captions ON or OFF:

    • VIEWING FROM THE WEBSITE: Any movie listed in a website page has three blue buttons: VIEW NOW, BIGGER "CC", and DOWNLOAD.
      Viewing options for movies
      If you click the BIGGER "CC" button, a larger sized movie opens in a new window. By default, the closed captions do not automatically show.
      • Simply right-mouse-click anywhere over the movie itself (or Control + Click with early versions of a Macintosh mouse).
      • From the sub-menu that appears, select "SHOW CLOSED CAPTIONING." Wait a few seconds for the captions to begin.
    • VIEWING IN QUICKTIME PLAYER AFTER DOWNLOADING A MOVIE: If you download one of our movies, and choose the QuickTime 640x480/640x360 size, the downloaded movie can be viewed directly in Apple's QuickTime Player. To reveal the closed captions:
      • Select the player's menu item named "VIEW."
      • Then select "SHOW CLOSED CAPTIONING."
      • Please be sure you are using Apple's QuickTime Player and not Windows Media Player. Our captions cannot be revealed when watching the movies with Windows Media Player.
    • MOBILE DEVICES: Additional instructions for revealing closed captions in mobile devices, such as iPhones and iPads, are found on the page "HOW TO SHOW CLOSED CAPTIONS Closed Caption icon."




  4. INTERNET CONNECTION SPEED: This site requires a high-speed connection such as a T1 line, broadband cable modem or DSL. Because of the file size of the QuickTime movies, it is impractical to interact with the NeuroLogic Exam and NeuroLogical Cases websites with a 56K modem.



  5. QUICKTIME REQUIRED:You must have the QuickTime Browser plug-in to play the movies online, directly from the web pages. This plug-in is available without cost for Macintosh and Windows-based computers. If you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer, click the following download link...

    Download QuickTime

    Unlike the QuickTime movies you play online, directly from the web pages, downloaded movies come in several formats, including QuickTime, Windows Media, and MPEG-4.



  6. VIEWING MOVIES:Movies for the site are progressive download files that are transferred immediately over the Internet to your computer for playback. The movies you view online, directly from a web page are in the QuickTime format.


    Movies are represented by a framed PICTURE, a "VIEW NOW" button, or a "BIGGER CC" button. By clicking the PICTURE or one of the "VIEW" buttons, the movie will immediately open and play in a second, smaller window.

    i

    A movie is viewed at approximately double its original size by clicking the "BIGGER CC" button. These scaled up movies are designed for group presentations or classroom projection. They also include closed captions in English.




  7. WEBSITE FLOW: This website is primarily designed to be used in a step-by-step, sequential fashion. It is important to start with the module called INTRODUCTION to understand the flow and the structure of the subsequent tutorials. On the other hand, the design of the website and its content do allow you to randomly access any portion of the site at any time.
