Webcasting 101: TV on Your PC by Kendall Callas
Welcome again as we continue to navigate the steaming jungle of webcasting and streaming video in law firms, the courts, and law schools. Each edition, we focus on examples of legal community “webcasts” — video over the Internet. In past columns, readers have complained about getting their feet wet! So, instead of sloshing after streaming video from law firms, this issue we’ll take a look at a nice, dry video archive specializing in IP. WHAT’S ON TONIGHT? This edition, we return to the law school at Duke University, to enjoy a second video archive there. (See the October 2003 column for our initial coverage of the law school's more general webcast collection, over 40 videos offering lectures and conferences on a variety of legal and timely topics, including public policy, politics, the courts, national security, cyberlaw, genetics, sports, Iraq, the FCC, and technology. Also see the September 2004 column for an update.) “Intellectual Property @Duke Law School” http://www.law.duke.edu/ip/webcasts.html This collection of webcasts offers about 20 videos, ranging from March 2001 to April 2003.

RealPlayer is required; dial-up connections will require patience. The streaming media server for these webcasts seems to be sometimes unavailable; if it won’t play, try again later. *Too many webcasts, not enough time.* If you see streaming audio or video you think would be of interest to our readers, please URL and description.
