Flash Video
Flash videos appear on the screen with video controls and an active table of contents that you can use to jump to a section of interest. The Flash videos usually include a full-screen button to show the video in full screen mode. View the video with the Flash controls by clicking on the View (Flash video) link.
You can also download the video file for later viewing (without the Flash payer and Table of Contents), usually by using the Right-click to download link. If you download the file, you will need multimedia player that works with MP4 files, such as QuickTime (from Apple) or the K-Lite codec pack that extends Windows Media Player.
Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player (.wmv) files are self-contained files that appear in the Windows Media player when you click on the View or Download link. The video is usually shown as soon as enough has been "streamed" to your PC.
Alternatively, you can right-click a View or Download link and choose the Save As option (the wording depends on which web browser you use) to download the file and save it on your PC. You can then view the video at any time, even when not connected to the Internet.

Model-Based Design of an SUV Anti-Rollover Control System April 23, 2009. Dr. Thomas Gillespie of Mechanical Simulation
and Vinod Cherian of The Mathworks, Inc. discuss rollover — one
of the more important vehicle dynamic issues facing the automotive
safety industry today. The video explains the mechanics of rollover,
how selective brake application can help resist rollover, and how
to design a controller for this purpose using Simulink together
with CarSim. |
