Abbot’s Pacific War Slide Show: 1943-45
This slide show of World War II images, which is periodically updated as we receive new photos, currently runs about 10 minutes. Most of the photos are identified in the Angevine photo collection .
Each version of this video has a stereo sound track. Note that this version of the slide show is not included on the Abbot DVD .
About the video formats Abbot videos are offered in several Quicktime-compatible formats.
Quicktime MOV or MP4 Large/Medium: Large frame and high-quality sound, for newer computers on high-speed Internet connections. Suitable for downloading.
MP4 Small: Small frame, similar to the iTunes/iPod format, but included for older computers or those on slow Internet connections.
iTunes/iPod: Formatted for small screens and requires Quicktime 7 or newer to play. Although intended to be played in video-enabled iPods or on iTunes software, it is also fine for viewing on line.
iPhone/Mobile Phone: A few of the videos are in 3GP format, which is designed for play on newer cellular telephones that have multimedia (also known as 3G) capabilities. We offer no technical advice about getting files onto a mobile device, but each video has been tested on a 3G phone. Turns an expensive mobile device into a real tin can!
For slower Internet connections, try downloading the videos before viewing. A download link is provided for each film under the video display frame. PC users can right-click the link to save the file to the hard drive; Mac users can press the Option key while clicking on the link.
If you have iTunes 7 (or newer) or a video-capable iPod — or if you know how to use RSS software — you can download all Abbot videos at once and get automatic notification of any new videos. We have easy-to-follow instructions .
