About Video and Audio Playback ![Media Player](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090807201223im_/http://ies.ed.gov/images/icons/mediaplayer.jpg)
IES has adopted Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) as its standard for video deployment. Videos will be able to be viewed immediately using Windows Media Player, or can be downloaded for easier viewing. The downloaded version will always be better quality than the streamed or viewable copy; this is due to performance reasons. The Windows Media Player should automatically download any needed codecs (these are needed to view certain video formats).

IES uses Adobe Flash in some of our applications. Adobe Flash Player displays web application front-ends, high-impact website user interfaces, interactive online advertising, and short-form to long-form animation. Designers and developers use Adobe Flash MX to develop distinctive and compelling content, revolutionary user interfaces, and rich applications for the web. It is pre-installed in most web browsers and on most computers. It is included in Windows 98 (including all new Windows 98 and Windows XP computers), Netscape Navigator, Apple Macintosh operating systems, America Online, and WebTV, among others.
