Finding your own animations and sound files
There are hundreds of web sites that allow you to download animation and sound files for
educational or personal use. They are continually changing, and new ones appear every
day. So there are many varied animation and sound files that available, and they change
daily. Many are free, and some (usually the higher quality) charge a fee to download the
material. These are best found by using a search engine such as yahoo.com,
altavista.com, google.com. Use search terms such as “avi file”, “mpeg file”, “download”,
“educational animations”, and so on.
Converting (“ripping”) DVD’s to mpeg or avi files
DVD’s can be converted into mpeg or avi files, and use with the MMP software as a source of
animation feedback. To convert any DVD into the mpeg format, use a commercial DVD
“ripper”. These products allow a user to legally convert any owned DVD into the PC format.
An example web site is shown below. Suitable programs are generally below $50, can be
downloaded and purchased online, and should be easy to use.
Some recommendations and examples follow. If you have questions or concerns regarding
conversion of DVD’s (or other third-party software), contact BrainMaster Technologies, Inc.
technical support for up-to-date information and recommendations.
Note that none of the suppliers we recommend or mention have any connection with BrainMaster
Technologies, Inc, nor do we profit from their sales. They are recommended solely for the
convenience of our users, and we do not take responsibility for the results of purchasing or using
any third-party software.
