MIT Video is a free and open site that aggregates and curates video produced by the offices, laboratories and administration at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This includes lectures and seminars, feature and editorial videos and more. There are over 150 separate channels that group videos together by subject, such as Robotics, Music & Theater, Energy, Innovation, etc. Every day the editorial team selects one or more videos based on its production values, content and timeliness. Even more material is available through the related site, MIT OpenCourseWare.

Despite a perhaps unfortunate sounding acronym, the EEVL Gateway has developed greatly in the last six years. Originally just covering Engineering, in addition it now also provides a wealth of information on Mathematics and Computing, mainly through its Internet Resource Catalogue, a collection of over 9,000 descriptions and links to quality Internet web sites. The service is run by Heriot-Watt University, Cranfield University, the University of Birmingham and the University of Ulster. The site provides engines to search for new articles, events, advances in manufacturing and even a section on job availability.

This fascinating resource is dedicated to reviewing international classic and cult movies on DVD, staying for the most part well clear of mainstream English-language films. Apart from essays and reviews and information on forthcoming releases, its most prominent feature is its evaluation of the technical audio and visual content of various DVD versions of films from around the world. The site looks at thousands of feature films and provides high resolution frame grabs to compare the visual quality of titles released in different territories, as well as comments on the audio presentation and the extras included. A dedicated Blu-ray microsite is particularly valuable.

The site includes over three dozen short films of varying types and duration, requiring either Real, QuickTime or Media Player to be viewed.

Part of the BBC’s commercial arm, the BBC Motion Gallery includes footage from its archives as well as those of CBS in the United States and is primarily a footage resource for companies in the commercial sector. However, the site also features hundreds of streamed samples of its wares (some lasting only a few seconds), which can be searched by subject and viewed freely via Windows Media Player. The items are adequately encoded and categories include Animals, Business, Places, Nature, News & Events, Science & Technology, Travel, Sport and others. In addition to which there are a huge number of keywords (although there is no actual list to access), as well as pre-organised ‘Concepts’ such as Flirting, Danger, Action and so on which are listed alphabetically. The advanced search makes use of disguised Boolean Search operators but also allows for searches to be limited to format, colour and aspect ratio. It effectively operates as an index to the whole BBC archive. Registration is required but is free and all clips feature BBC digital onscreen graphics as watermarks. In Nov 2007 a new online service was launched in partnership with JISC, to give UK FE and HE institutions access to a selection of footage for use in an educational setting via a password-protected site http://www.jiscmotiongallery.com. At the end of 2009 the Motion Gallery launched the World in Motion channel on Youtube to show high definition clips of programmes such as NOTES ON A CITY.
