Lanark Videos

Included here are a selection of clips taken from the DVD of the 2005 event, and used by permission of the Lanark Business Group. All videos are in Microsoft Video (AVI) format, using the MPEG-4 codec - you will need a recent version of Windows Media Player or an equivalent to play them, and may need to download the codec to get the correct video feed. Windows Media Player should offer to do this automatically if you don't already have it.

The commentary for the event is very clearly audible in several of the clips - the video was shot from directly in front of a speaker stand, and so the sound balance is not ideal, but we hope that these will give you a taste of the event and the audience reaction, and we welcome comments and feedback on the event presentation and the videos.

Please note that these videos are large, and are provided over a slow link - please be patient!
