Task #1:
For this task I went to the Microsoft and apple websites, I picked some high definition movies, then I downloaded them on my computer, unzipped them and watched them. These are some of the videos I liked:
· High definition videos from Microsoft website:

Task #2:
For this task I had to use my webcam and microphone. I recorded a video of me talking about “Social Bookmarking” using the software that came with my webcam. I saved this video on my computer. I created an account on www.youtube.com and uploaded my video in a public format so that the class can see it. This is the link for the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAhJX0juYSE
Task #3:
I did a live recording on http://www.ustream.tv/ and I saved it under “my videos”. This is the link for the video: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/380666
I picked ustream because it was easy to record videos, it generated a clear picture and perfectly synchronized with the audio. It was also easy to spot the URL for my video, unlike other websites where I had to look everywhere to find it. One other reason is that I used ustream before and I am familiar with it.
