Films On Demand is a web-based digital video delivery platform that allows viewing of streaming videos from Films Media Group.
The following list of streaming video resources may facilitate your discovery of videos covering sociology topics and various related areas.
The purpose of the Open Video Project is to collect and make available a repository of digitized video content for the digital video¸ multimedia retrieval¸ digital library¸ and other research communities. Researchers can use the video to study a wide range of problems¸ such as tests of algorithms for automatic segmentation¸ summarization¸ and creation of surrogates that describe video content; the development of face recognition algorithms; or creating and evaluating interfaces that display result sets from multimedia queries. Because researchers attempting to solve similar problems will have access to the same video content¸ the repository is also intended to be used as a test collection that will enable systems to be compared¸ similar to the way the TREC conferences are used for text retrieval.
