MPEG-4 (MP4) is the latest international multimedia standard, delivering professional-quality video over a wide range of bandwidths. MP4 movies require Quicktime Version 6 or greater, or an equivalent MP4 reader.

The smaller versions of the movie (300 pixel and 400 pixel) are offered for those who have a narrow internet bandwith (slower transmission speed). Unless you have a broad bandwith (high speed) internet access, the movies may take a while to download--but well worth the wait if you have the time. Thus, the smaller sized movies may be preferable for a quicker download. The larger movies offer the clearest and most dramatic presentation of the Precessional Cycle of the Holy Cross but take more time to download. The largest movies may be hardware demanding for some computers as well, which may result in slow or jerky play.
Stereo Movies offer the ultimate in a 3-D viewing experience. The standard movies, although wonderful to view, simulate a 3-D experience by projecting a 3-D image onto a 2-D plane, thereby offering the illusion of a 3-D perspective. Stereo movies are created from two slightly different images, therefore offering the illusion of depth as well. This makes viewing the Holy Cross cycle quite phenomenal--as can be seen in the sample stereo picture offered below. There is one requirement: the viewer must perform a trick with their eyes--that is, to look cross-eyed at two images to create the third stereo image.
To see the stereo image, after you download one of the stereo movies, look at a point in space between you and your computer screen and just in front of your face, thus crossing your eyes until a third image comes into focus. As you proceed, your eyes will eventually lock onto the new image while ignoring the two images in your peripheral vision. You can frame the stereo image with your hands to remove the two side images if they are distracting.
Tip: It may be easier to first bring the stereo image into focus with the movie paused. Place your cursor over the play button so you do not have to look for it after you focus on your image. When you have your stereo image in view, and your eyes are locked on to it, click play.
Another technique: While sitting at a comfortable distance from your computer screen, place your finger about two inches from your face and focus upon it. Remove your finger but keep your focus at the same place in space. You could then see the third stereo image.
Another trick that will not only help you to cross your eyes naturally, but will also get rid of the distracting peripheral images, is to cut a 2" x 2" square hole in the middle of a (preferably black matte) piece of cardboard. Hold the cardboard filter in between your eyes and your computer screen. Place the cardboard filter at a distance from your eyes such that you see only one image with each eye through the square hole. Open one eye at a time to make sure you see only the left image with your right eye and only the right image with your left eye. Then with both eyes open, look through the hole, but focus at a point near the plane of the cardboard until you see the stereo image.
Try this sample stereo picture first before you download a stereo movie. If you can successfully adjust your focus to see this still stereo image, you should be able to do the same with the stereo movie.
