If your videos are in a format that can be played by Windows Media Player, then you can embed them into a webpage (even if you only want to run them from a local drive). You can then use the SiteKiosk software or Open Kiosk developed for Brooklyn Museum (https://www.mozdevgroup.com/clients/bm/).

We are now working with SiteKiosk by Provisio. We do have several other interpretive kiosks that have only one function which is to play interpretive videos. SiteKiosk does not support this as it works in a web environment. Currently, our interpretive videos (which are mostly on touch-screen) are playing on Windows Media Player, which opens the issues of closing down the program and accessing other programs within the computer. Can anyone recommend a program that will create a video kiosk that supports mpeg2 playback? I see so many wonderful interpretive videos in museums but do not know how the kiosk environment works. Thank you, Leah Leah Fox Director of Public Programs Currier Museum of Art 150 Ash Street Manchester, NH 03104 603.669.6144 x119 _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l
