At OhioLINK, much of the video collection has been converted into the FLV
(Flash Video) package format and has been loaded into a customized DSpace
repository.  Each video is stored as a DSpace repository item, and once
users navigate to the video of interest, via search or browse, they can play
the video by clicking on the play icon in the display window - similar to
the interface seen on YouTube and comparable sites.
