Hi, I've just learned that the Toshiba laptops we check out to faculty will not project video (from a DVD or web-based video). Apparently they are missing some kind of special software that will allow that. One of our instructors has a less expensive Computerland laptop that will project video just fine. Does anyone know the generic name of the software and/or a brand name that will help us track down what we need? (Imagine the wrath of the instructor, having checked out the laptop expressly for showing a DVD or some other video clip, having schlepped the laptop to the newly wired classroom, made sure the projector cart was there, etc. etc, and then not being able to make the video visible for the class? ) Thank you! _______________________ Carol H.
