General Information

Especially created in 1996 to meet the needs of students and teachers worldwide, MediaOutlet.com and its constituent websites have gained approval for teaching history and media studies by various American state, British, French and Singapore governments, as well as by museums, libraries, archives & hundreds of prestigous schools K-12, college, university & post-graduate worldwide. Much of its constituent material had never been made available to the public before they were created for and published by J. C. Kaelin. Literally hundreds of subjects are covered by the MediaOutlet.com catalog, including General History, World War I, World War II, TV/Movie/Radio Broadcasting History, Documentaries, Movies, Music, Teleplays, Modern and Ancient Drama, Black/Ethnic/Civil Rights, Government, Business, Space Flight, The Cold War and much more. In many institutions of learning throughout the US - and indeed in some countries the entire nation's educational curriculum - center around materials produced by J. C. Kaelin for EarthStation1 and its heir MediaOutlet.com.

Of these, many believe it's the World War II materials that are the "crown jewels" of J. C.'s digitations, many of which adorn such documentary classics as the landmark epic TV documentary series THE WAR directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and distributed by Florentine Films, the PBS documentary series HISTORY DETECTIVES, the History Channel's WWII IN HD and more besides. With thousands of sound, still and moving image documents from both sides of that great conflict, it's become by merit of the love & effort that went into it one of the foremost Second World War media publishing sites on the internet.

The historical multimedia productions produced by J. C. Kaelin have been created, remastered and enhanced to provide the highest quality digitations possible. Great care has been taken to obtain the highest quality original media possible from museums, archives, libraries and private collections worldwide. Many hours have been spent on some single files, while others have taken weeks or even months to create. The especial results of these efforts have been the development of a number of digitizing processes - audio, video and imaging - which produce media of superior resolution than those made using traditional methods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ:

"Does an MP3 CD play on a cd player?"

As explained on the inside cover of the title, an MP3 CD will play on your computer using any MP3 player program (such as WinAmp or iTunes), on many standard CD players and DVD players of recent manufacture (make sure yours is one before playing it), and on any home or portable MP3 player system (such as an iPod) that its contents are exported to. If you don't already have an MP3 player, a FREE one named WinAmp (the most popular & user-friendly MP3 player) has been included for you on the cd. Just run the simple setup program to install WinAmp onto your computer & use it to play every mp3 on this disc through your PC speakers (which is the way most folks play them). Also, you can always easily record these MP3s onto audio cassette tapes or burn them onto regular audio CDs & play them in your home or car stereo, boombox, entertainment system & more.

"What is an MP3 DVD? (as distinguished from an MP3 CD)"

As explained on the inside cover of the title, an MP3 DVD is especially designed to play on your computer's DVD drive using any MP3 player program (such as WinAmp or iTunes) and on any home or portable MP3 player system (such as an iPod) that its contents are exported to. It also plays on MP3 compatible DVD players of recent manufacture (make sure yours is one before playing it). If you don't already have an MP3 player, a free one named WinAmp, the most popular & user-friendly MP3 player, has been included for you on the cd. Just run the simple setup program to install it onto your computer & use it to play every MP3 on this disc through your PC speakers (which is the way most folks play them). If indeed you are able to play MP3 DVDs otherwise, the particular DVD drive you are using may not be DVD+R compatible, which is the disc stock this was burned onto. You can also try playing a DVD laser lens cleaner disc and see if cleaning the lens eliminates the problem (it very often is the problem!). The best bet would be to try the DVD on a PC DVD drive. Also, you can always easily record these MP3s onto audio cassette tapes or burn them onto regular audio CDs & play them in your home or car stereo, boombox, entertainment system & more.

"I can't play this DVD Video / DVD-ROM on my DVD player"

The particular DVD drive you are using may not be DVD+R compatible, which is the highest quality disc stock available. The best remedy would be to a) play your dvd on a player of more recent manufacture, since all new standalone DVD players and all new computer DVD drives can easily play the DVD+R format, or b) in the case of an older computer DVD drive, update your drive's firmware by downloading the latest firmware update for your drive from the drive manufacturer's website.
