Cambridge Public Library Introduces Downloadable Videos!

Introducing MyLibraryDV - a unique video service brought to you by the Cambridge Public Library. Anywhere you have a broadband internet connection you can have access to hundreds of DVD-quality videos covering a wide range of interests. You will find over 450 videos including Antiques Roadshow, America's Test Kitchen, Rick Steves' Europe, Today's Homeowner, and independent films from Film Movement (a distributor of critically acclaimed award-winning independent and foreign films). MyLibraryDV is constantly adding entertaining and educational programming for you to enjoy. And since unlimited copies are available online there is no wait on the videos you want to see! All you need for this FREE service is a Cambridge Public Library card and high-speed Internet access.

Click on the icon to the right and then the "To Begin Downloading" icon to download your MyLibraryDV player. Please note that MyLibraryDV will only work in a Windows environment - Apple Macintosh's cannot use the player. The install file is 28 megabytes large so it will take 15 or 20 minutes to download and install with a high-speed internet connection. Also, you must have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, at least 1 gigabyte of free hard drive space, and Windows Media Player 10 or above with the most recent DRM security update (if you don't MyLibraryDV will prompt you to download or update it). It is also recommended to have a computer with 1 gigahertz of memory otherwise playback performance may be degraded. Go to http://update.microsoft.com if you find that you need to upgrade your software and MyLibraryDV doesn't provide the updates itself.

If you have any questions or problems, please call the Cambridge Public Library Reference Desk at (617) 349-4044.
