France 24 is the first French international news channel to broadcast on a 24/7 basis. Launched in December 2006 and broadcast in French, English and Arabic, it offers a French perspective on world events. The channel is characterized by respect for diversity and attention to political and cultural differences and identities. As well as being available via the various digital television platforms and podcasting, the Internet is at the heart of its strategy, with a trilingual site as of its launch. In addition to online viewing of the live broadcast schedule, there is an extensive video archive of programmes and special reports available for on-demand viewing.

The Wildlife Focus website was set up by the World Land Trust early in January 2008 to offer unique, high-quality multimedia content showing wildlife in remote South American rainforests. There is live footage from three webcams, one in the cloud forest of Ecuador and two in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Each webcam is visited by a wide variety of rainforest wildlife including many hummingbird species, brightly coloured tanagers, parakeets and toucans. The site also streams video clips of other birds and rainforest animals filmed at Buenaventura and other reserves. The quality of the live images is extremely good, except when temporarily affected by climatic conditions. The site also offers podcasts and a virtual tour to show more about endangered wildlife and their habitats - and the conservation efforts needed to keep them safe.

The large quantities of NASA satellite imagery placed here have been broken down into dozens of categories, from such broad areas as Agriculture, Atmosphere and Oceans to narrower items such as individual countries, cities and events like an eruption from Mount Etna for example. Whether they be straightforward stills or infrared images, the quality and resolution of the material (presented as JPEGs and TIFFs) is generally excellent, and all the stills are accompanied with details of their exact provenance and short essays exploring the individual images. The database can be searched using standard Boolean operators. The images are free to use and are considered to be Public Domain by NASA.

The Open Video Project aims ‘to collect and make available a repository of digitized video content for the digital video, multimedia retrieval, digital library, and other research communities.' It is being developed by the Interaction Design Laboratory at the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina. It is building up a library of downloadable video segments in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and so far includes materials predominately from the Carnegie Mellon University Infomedia Project on geology, geography and oceanography; the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab; and particularly the Prelinger Archives (the Internet Moving Images Archive) on everyday life in America. The Browse feature indicates how the videos are categorised by genre (documentary, lecture, educational, ephemeral), duration (under a minute to over ten minutes - many titles are available in segmented form), colour, sound and contributing organisation. Each title comes with basic catalogue information.
