| There's a nice, huge story on the Time Magazine website about Philadelphia Television in the Fifties. It mentions our website and draws from our material. Author Richard Corliss refers to this site as "invaluable...a trove of early TV memories for Delaware Valley nostalgiaholics." Visit it at: TIME MAGAZINE |
Our encoding of audio and video has been upgraded for clearer, sharper and less choppy video with better sounding audio. We are using the latest technology and this may require you to download (it's free) the latest version of the Real Player, now called Real One. Items previously on our website will still work with older versions. All items will play on the most current. Once you download the latest free player, you still may be required to download older codes for everything to work. This is normal and very easy. Just follow the prompts.
Now that we have moved material to our own server, we'll no longer have the limitations set up by the free but ad based companies that previously gave us server space. This means that we can encode the audio and video files as we desire and not to the mandates of an unrelated company or organization. Much of our audio and video now rolls. That is, it goes from one files directly into the next segment. This is done for faster loading. We are also encoding with surestream. This means the file actually contains two streams. One is for dial-up connections and the other is for DSL, Cable and other broadband connections. Your computer will automatically select the correct stream.
This site is "optimized" for Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5 or later). We recommend using Microsoft Internet Explorer over the AOL Browser for those using AOL to access the Internet. We also suggest viewing our website full screen. For best viewing, your monitor should be set to 800x600 True Color.
