For the BBC demo page, how about isolating the clip you want to show, perhaps surrounded by whitespace, but with a juwo page header? (i.e., make it clear this page still belongs in the juwo site, and you've just sampled a small part of the BBC page)

People with ADD like me will start reading the news ticker or some of the other stories (seriously, I had to back up twice to figure out what I supposed to click on!).

Also, for people not running XP and using Java plugins in their browser (I'm one of them!) can you prepare a version that will still convey what the demo does?

Do you mean, show the media player in the browser?

Or should I draw the link for the demo in large font?

Actually, juwo is great for people with ADD. you can sit in a class and record lectures - and then review only the important parts.

I have some kind of ADD myself - and use juwo in important meetings.

Basically, lose everything from the BBC page except the href to the clip you want to show and put it inside a "juwo" page, consistent with everything else on your site.

For a while there, I thought I was at bbcnews.com and I started reading all these extraneous links and photos.

the point is that a visitor to the BBC page would click on the video link, and a juwo of the video would pop up.

Yes, I understand how that would work if juwo were installed and I'm browsing other sites, but copying the entire BBC page is unnecessary, esp. when the only relevant thing from the demo's perspective is that single clip.

"people not running XP and using Java plugins in their browser"

were you able to install/run juwo? the BBC demo?

No, I didn't try again after the first attempt.

Could you produce a demo in flash instead of java?

Flash is a must-have browser plugin, whereas java has fallen off the map in that regard.

for a flash demo, do you happen to know if a video playing in a media player on the screen will be captured in screencast?

or is there another tool...
