Footnotes

These features cover nearly a decade during which there were huge changes with web standards and video encoding. The first feature, for example, pre-dates You Tube and Flash! So don’t be surprised to find quite a few files which your computer or browser can’t play or open properly. Regrettably, UKFR is not able to help individual readers with video or image difficulties due to the sheer range of possible system set-ups, but do try the help page and if you still cannot play a video feel free to ask questions in the UKFR forum.

As of 2014 we are in the process of removing many of the older video clips with a view to republishing these on YouTube. Some of the Windows formats or exotic codecs like DivX are not universal and won’t play on many modern systems. If you find files missing please bear with us. Even better, subscribe to the UKFR YouTube Channel to keep updated with the latest video we publish.

Please remember that regardless of their age, all of these features (and in fact all content on this site) are copyright, either to UKFR.COM or one of its contributors. All rights are reserved.

UKFR would like to conclude this blast from the past by thanking everyone who contributed to, or helped with, these features.
