The recommended delivery method is through RealPlayer. UD Departments and units are responsible for setting up and maintaining their own servers for serving RealPlayer content.

QuickTime video files should not appear on the top-level page of the UD web. QuickTime is recommended for use on lower-level pages and for departmental pages where appropriate. Keep file size small out of consideration for modem users by using appropriate codes. Larger QuickTime video clips that are intended for on-campus viewing are recommended as well.

Files that require browser plug-ins should not appear on the top-level or subsequent high-level pages of the UD web. Files that require browser plug-ins are not recommended for use on departmental pages, but may be used if the application demands. Use something other than a plug-in to present key University information.
