Downloadable Products Explained
If you are new to the Internet, you may not be familiar with the world of downloadable products. These products are also sometimes called digital products.
A downloadable, or digital product is a bit of computer code that resides inside a file. If you browse the contents of your computer with Windows Explorer or by double-clicking your My Computer icon and clicking around a bit, you will discover thousands of files residing on your computer hard drive. They may have names like config.sys, autoexec.bat or boot.ini and other strange-sounding names.
Without these files, your computer would be nothing more than an expensive paper weight!
These files contain the digital instructions that enable your computer to perform the various functions it is capable of. Like displaying a picture on your screen, balancing your checkbook, playing music or playing solitaire.
The Internet Changed Everything!
The Internet revolutionized the world of computers by allowing these files to be exchanged between all the computers that are attached to it. For example, someone in England could write a useful computer program and then easily share it with everyone connected to the Internet by making it available for download.
A download is when you copy a file from another computer on the Internet to your own computer. The file then resides on your computer and is available for your use whenever you want to use it. Depending, of course, on copyright and other applicable laws and regulations.
Our instructional video products have been made available for our customers to download to their own computers. They can then watch the videos on their own computers any time they choose. The videos will display on the computer screen much the same way a video movie can be viewed with a VCR or DVD player, including the options to pause, rewind and fast forward.
Why Wait If You Can Get It Now!
What makes downloadable products so unique is the ability to get them now. When you purchase a downloadable product, you will go to a special web page that provides instructions that allows you to begin downloading the file to your own computer immediately. You do not have to wait for a physical shipment to arrive at your door like you would when you order a tape or DVD.
You can begin using your downloadable product as soon as the download is complete!
The time it takes to download a digital product will vary considerably depending on the size of the product and the speed and quality of your Internet connection. You will not be able to download any of our digital products unless you have a high-speed (also called broadband) Internet connection. Typical high-speed Internet connections are cable modem and DSL connections. If you are required to dial a telephone number each time you want to connect to the Internet, you probably do not have a high-speed connection and will not be able to download our products. For customers that do not have a high-speed connection, our products are available on DVD and CD as well.
Sounds Complicated But Really Isn't
Our downloadable products for Windows PCs are downloaded in the form of a special file called a self-extracting ZIP file. Think of this special file as a container, like a box you might put something in to ship it. The beauty of this special container file is that it is capable of holding many files inside of it. This is very useful since we are also able to include other helpful files along with the actual video file, like instructions for playing your video.
With this special container file on your computer, you can simply run the file by double-clicking it and the files that reside inside it will be extracted onto your computer so that you can access and use them.
The process of downloading and accessing these downloadable products may sound difficult and intimidating at first, but once you have done it, you will become comfortable with it and appreciate how exciting it is to be able to purchase something and have it arrive right away so you can begin enjoying it without waiting days for a delivery to arrive.
As always, use our Contact Us link on the left to contact us if you have any questions about any of our products.
We are here to help!
