Brenda Kendrick had a good question today in our meeting:
How do you download videos from United Streaming?

OK. Now I know how to download. So why download?
Larger files take more resources to stream. Regardless, if you return to a video again to stream, you're again using those resources. To lessen the impact on our network, download - and do it well in advance (before/after school are low-usage times and you'd be surprised how quickly a large file downloads). Not only will you be assured the video will not "buffer" or stop and start while playing, you will be able to keep that video for next time you need it.
Don't save the video to the network, however. The reason is the same, to avoid unnecessary drain on our network resources. Save it to your computer. MyVideos is a great place to store them or create your own folder. Then back it up on a thumb drive, writeable CD or DVD.
