Find your way through the cricket video maze


Cricket videos have joined the online world. Now you can a wide range of video clips to add live games and cricket online, highlights, the traditional VHS and DVD video. So what is the advantage of this choice? It is so easy to drown in the sea of video products. So if you want more cricket to enjoy or inspire your junior cricketer want to, you must be selective.

VHS tape and DVD cricket video are still popular and haven't questions Internet related transfer. So, it's you considering for your collection, but look at the image quality of the TV footage archive before you part with your money.

Keep in mind that TV has already only since the late 1960s, and has the earlier black and white footage of variable quality. However, it is still considering archive material, some to see sizes at work all the time. Sir Donald Bradman's 1993 video to play cricket as contains, for example, to the best shots of the master batsman at his 1934.

Quality in the 1980s by the VHS era. Good quality cricket video tapes are from around 1990 still available but the best quality images are on DVD. These formats are ideal for collections of rare cricket opportunities. For example, the 1960 bound test match between Australia and Caribbean Brisbane one was the all time great games and you can re-live the voltage across a video from ABC TV sports.

Want to know what VHS and DVD titles are available? Top retailers are listed under "Cricket Video" in Google. But, with such global suppliers hats you before the "compatibility case" for both DVD and VHS. Make sure that the rare video product that you ordered, actually playable on your own hardware 10 time zones.

The world divided into eight "DVD regions", numbered from 1 to 8. So, a region is sold in region 3 3 DVD, for example, only compatible with DVD players. However, "Region Free" DVDs are the exception and are compatible with players from each region.

TV picture format is a further complication. NTSC is the standard format of the North American TV image and differs from the European PAL. So, if in the United States or Canada (DVD region 1), make sure that your TV the PAL signal before buying one European (region 2) DVD can read.

Video tapes have the same problem. There are 3 global recording formats for commercial videos, NTSC, PAL and SECAM. If you order a VHS tape from a far flung country are, make sure that your TV can appear.

The Internet takes Cricket videos on a different level. Live international cricket and cricket highlights are now available online, and large amounts of archives are available as cricket clips. As a coach I am interested especially, the brilliant online coaching resources.

Free cricket clips and videos abound in cricket parts of Google video, YouTube and Metacafe. These range from Beach Cricket on events from classical test matches. You can you want to have exactly a fun time surfing through this, but the search after what, in the maze of video offers less easy.

Need enough computing power to display online video - broadband is essential as good PC performance is. Your machine requires sufficient processor speed, enough RAM and a suitable graphics card to watch videos quickly display smoothly and with good quality. You can test it, on the BBC highlights or one of the samples on Google video or YouTube.

You need a JavaScript-enabled browser and a suitable media player. Windows Media Player suitable for some online videos. Real player and Flash are commonly used, and are available as free downloads. The BBC Sport Player is based on real player, and is available from the BBC website for free.

This guide to Cricket videos highlights the most important decisions of the product where you and some of the most important technical questions involved. Of course, there are far more detail than this, but I hope that it gives you a way through the video a start to find labyrinth.
