Catracker.Com Television Web Site

elcome to CatTracker.com Television! Video clips are extremely useful as a visual training aid not to mention they are downright entertaining. We at CatTracker.com are dedicated to insping fishing enthusiasts to the joys of catfishing. But to understand the various aspects of this sport, you need to actually see how fish are caught using Cat Tracker products. That's where CatTracker.com Television comes into play. We are continuously working on videos to help promote this sport.

The neat thing about videos is they are very effective in transferring learning quickly. But the downside of doing this on the Web is not everyone has high speed connections to the Internet to make the experience a totally good one. If you are connected by a phone modem of no more than 28.8 or 33 kilobits per second transfer speeds, watching our videos (or any videos on the Internet for that matter) can be a frustrating experience punctuated by delays and poor quality.

But we discovered more people every day have access to a high speed Internet, either through cable modem, DSL or even wireless satellite. Many have T-1 or better access. Rather than wait for the rest of the world to catch up to us at Cat Tracker, we decided to take the lead, and produce and distribute videos over the Web. We had such good footage, and we knew the demand was there. We are not exactly in the video business. We're in the bait business, and anything we put on the Web that helps our friends use our products to catch fish fulfills our main objective.

What Do I Need to Watch Videos on Your Web Site?

We are currently distributing our videos using RealMedia files which can be viewed with a free RealPlayer available from Real.com. RealPlayer 8 is the recommended free player available, even though there is a version Real.com sells to Web consumers for about $9.95, we've found that it is not absolutely necessary to have that player.

What About My Computer?

The most important item you need on your computer is a sound card and speakers so you can hear the audio track of the video. If you are running a Pentium II or better, or any Macintosh computer made since 1993, you're good to go.
