Lecture videos of Theoretical physics

In summary, a website called the International Center for Theoretical Physics offers useful lecture videos through a technology called EyA, which creates high quality images of the blackboard every 6 seconds. However, the blackboard in the videos is often blurry and difficult to see. The speaker suggests that there may be a better way to watch the videos, such as downloading the images. Additionally, there is a zip package available on the lecture page that includes the photos, although it is currently unavailable but will be back soon.

Hi guys , I found a lot of incredibly useful lecture videos provided by the international center for theoretical physics see http://www.ictp.tv/ However there is one problems . They use a technology called EyA to view the lectures.It creates high quality images of the black board every 6 seconds so that you can zoom in whatever you want however the blackboard in the video is very blurred and you can't see anything on it .I wonder if there exists a better way to watch the videos like downloading the images etc

I sigh every time I see a lecture poorly encoded. For 200MB-300MB per lecture it should be of much higher quality than it is.

As for lecture photos of the blackboard, on the lecture page where you have links to the quicktime and flash video lectures there is also a zip package (which right now it says is unavailable, but will be back in a few days) which I am assuming has the photos included.
