<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi All,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">thanks again for the lively discussion
on this topic. It certainly helped me focus on the issues and pit
falls.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As it happen, I have been asked by the
Irish Internet Associations Social Media Working Group to give a quick
15 minute overview on making online audio and video accessible to all.
the half day seminar called "Audio Video Culture: Behind the
Scenes of audio and video content online" will take place next Thursday
afternoon. [1]</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As usual I need a bit of help tying
to decipher what the best resources out there are to base the presentation
on and provide as references. Can anyone point me to 'good' resources
on making video and audio accessible online. Types of resources I
am researching are:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Primers providing an overview of
the issues and accessibility issues typically encountered</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Examples of good practice of audio
description. extended text transcripts, captioning</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. Technical guidance on how to create
and embed AD, ETT and captions, what file types and players to use</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4. online blogs and forums that cover
this kind of stuff</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Below you will find what my initial
trawl has produced.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">All donations gratefully received. I
will make the final presentation and lists of resources available on the
www.universaldesign.ie website for all to use.</font>

Hum ... no different for me though. There is now an "embed"<br>
element within the "object" - not sure if that was there<br>
before. But anyway, this embed still seems to specify a windows<br>
media player plugin, it still doesn't work on my ubuntu linux +<br>
firefox, and, much more to the point, there are no other<br>
fallbacks - specifically, no plain text content, and no link to a<br>
transcript. (And they have the gall to stick a "WAI-AAA"
logo -<br>
sic! - at the bottom: talk about debasing the currency...)<br>
<br>
Best - Barry.<br>
