Requirements for Video to Meet Accessibility and HR criteria
Hello,
I have cognitive disabilities due to back and neck injuries. I paid a subscription to a technical site whose purpose is to provide technical tutorials. They also pride themselves on web standards. Many of the tutorials are long, more than two hours. There is no way I can learn from this in one viewing. The problem is that I can't find a way to save or cache the videos. They can't be saved in Firefox's Download Helper.
I am just wondering if there is any issues with this in regards to WCAG or HR?
Thanks
Geoff

You can't pause and resume at a later time? That's unusual. Have you tried Real Player. After install, for most online video, it put's a link on top the video to download. It works very well for me.
I don't know if this is an accessibility issue. I know there are specific standards for cognitive ability and requiring action based on time. Have you contacted the site owner directly?

sahoopes, thanks for posting... sorry it has taken so long for me to reply.
I installed RP on my Win7 install (RP is not up to date on Ubuntu), but it couldn't find a downloadable stream for these videos, even though it can play it.
From what I understand the recent Flash has the ability to generate as non cacheable or stream recordable.
I have had to put a DV recorder in front of the computer and record the sessions.
