Obtain Sound Clips or Movies

Download free QuickTime software at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Use the HomePage movie library, which includes Quicktime movies and Quicktime VR object and panorama movies.
Locate a webpage that contains a sound file or movie clip you would like to include on your webpage. You first need to save a copy of it onto your computer's hard drive.
- Here is a page with Mockingbird sound recordings: (http://www.lsjunction.com/bird.htm)
- ESC Region 20's Graphics and Sound Resources page is excellent.
- Try the Clip Art Searcher to look for sound files and other media files.
- CNN has an extensive movie archive: (http://cnn.com/videoselect/)
- Lots of demos are available from Apple's Quicktime Movie Trailer site.
To do this within Netscape, click on the link which plays the sound or movie and hold down the mouse (for Macintosh) or click once with the RIGHT mouse button (for Windows). From the pop-up menu, choose "Save this Link as..." or "Save Target As...."
Choose the folder/directory on your hard drive where you want to save the file. Usually, it is handy to save media files in the same image folder where your other graphics are located. Make sure you save the movie with the three character extension ".mov" at the end. Otherwise, it will not display properly for visitors to your website.
MIDI files and other audio files (including CD tracks in AIFF format) can be converted into Quicktime movies. An example of a website using a CD recording as a background sound inserted as a Quicktime movie is available at: http://www.uscavalry.org/defaultmusic.htm
For a more thorough, step by step guide to obtaining multimedia elements, refer to the online workshop "Multimedia Madness: Obtaining Images, Movies, and Audio Files from the Internet and CD-ROMs" at http://www.lubbock.k12.tx.us/rush/downloads/multimedia/.
