    Research-TV was created by the University of Warwick to provide broadcasters with a regular news feed of stories about cutting-edge research. It divides its programmes up into Health, Technology, Society, Science and Nature, Business, and Creative and Cultural. Each comes with synopsis, transcript, links, and the programme in narrowband or broadband options (using Windows Media Player). All stories produced by Research-TV’s news professionals are made available to broadcasters free of charge through the APTN service, on local ends for UK broadcasters and London-based foreign correspondents, with additional tape distribution upon request. All stories are available for preview online on the website, on other online video sites (YouTube, Public.TV, OSTN), and also as vodcasts on iTunes.

    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.
