Thank you Simon Batchelor and Roberto Verzola for your information on the VCD players.
I did not know VCD players existed and looked at pictures of some on the Internet. I am very excited. I had been looking for something exactly like this - something that is cheap, can run without an electric connection and is easy to use. That the player is portable is an extra bonus. The only problem I forsee is that in India, I imagine the players would be almost double the cost you mentioned. But that is just a guess. I have to actually explore the market for this. About the content of the health education material, I am trying to use flash animation and QuickTime movies. Can these be run from the VCD players? Also for converting html or word content, can you suggest an alternative to videotaping the web pages? Simon mentioned "VCDs can be carried by health workers to deliver useful mother and child health content to slum communities in India, Bangladesh, Moldova and Cambodia". Could you tell us more about what you did and found.
