    Hundreds of video lectures and tutorials from around the world are available from here on a variety of scientific topics as well as interviews with such luminaries as Tim Berners Lee and Noam Chomsky. Windows Media Player is required to view. The presentation is for the most part very straightforward and rarely goes beyond the taping in medium shot of a speaker lecturing his audience, though some of the interviews do stray outside the lecture hall. The encodings are perfectly watchable even for items that last over an hour and in addition copies of the relevant PowerPoints have sometimes been included. The site does not offer a subject index, but there is an alphabetised run down of all the speakers. The site is available in English and Slovenian.

    This is probably the most informative and widely quoted of the American websites devoted to Blu-ray and DVD news and reviews. Its contributors are generally mindful of both technical specifications and content, although they tend to be weaker from a historical point of view (i.e. films made before Star Wars was released on home video). Of the UK sites, the most prominent is probably Digital Fix (previously known as DVD Times), which along with DVD Reviewer is one of the few sites that caters for both US and UK releases (i.e. Region 1/A and Region 2/B discs).

    This site is devoted to the many different types of widescreen processes that have proliferated practically from when film production first began. The style is occasionally irreverent, but the information is sound and there are a vast number of practical examples, all liberally illustrated with screen grabs from video versions and the original frames. There are also sections devoted to the history of colour film, the development of sound, film posters and much more.

    A site curated by Bernard Newnham, a cameraman who worked at the BBC during the 1960s. It is now Wordpress-based and operates in the form of posts from others who worked in technical roles at the BBC. These consist of photos, reminiscences, a couple of video clips and a few original documents all of which give a lively, nostalgic and largely anecdotal sense of what it was like working on such programmes as The Val Doonican Show, Top of the Pops and Blue Peter.
