Tests of Various Multimedia File Formats

To test some of the multimedia capacity of your current browser, use these links.Ý Use Netscape 3.x or later version and Internet Explorer 3.x or later versions. (which may require manual installation of the quicktime plug-in).Ý The streaming video links, two and three, assume that the latest version of quicktime has been installed (version 2.1 or later on Windows and 2.5 or later on the Mac platform).

These files test not only your browser's capacity to use and play these files, but the file sizes enable one to determine how the speed of one computer network compares with another. To compare display times, time the same files from your home computer, your office computer and CATA Lab workstations.
