These narrated videos offer a visual introduction to Huntington's disease. The videos are available in a variety of formats. (For information, see below.) Please choose the format which is most suitable for your computer and click the appropriate link. The videos will open in a separate window.

Please note: Keep in mind that video files are large and may take a few minutes to load, depending on the speed of your internet connection and the size of the video you choose. (The video will not play during the loading period. If you like, you can take a look at other parts of the HOPES website in your main browser window while loading takes place.)

Once the video loads, you also have the option of saving the video file to your hard drive. This is useful if you want to (1) view the video file again later away from the internet, or (2) view the video file in your own media player capable of handing the selected format.

Quicktime is a media player produced by Apple (maker of Macintosh computers). If you own a Macintosh (Mac) or an Apple computer, Quicktime comes included with your computer, so this may be your best option for viewing these videos. However, PC (Windows) users can also install a version of the media player to view Quicktime content as well. Please note that the quality of our videos will be best if viewed as Quicktime files. If you don't already have it installed, PC and Mac versions of the media player can be downloaded for free by clicking on the button below.

Windows Media Player comes installed with most PC (Windows) computers: specifically, Windows 98, 2000, ME, and XP. Therefore, it may be a good default option if you have a PC and don't have either Quicktime or Flash. In comparison to Quicktime and Flash, our videos will be of intermediate quality if viewed in Windows Media. If you don't already have it installed, PC and Mac versions of the media player can be downloaded for free by clicking on the button below.

Flash is a multimedia web format which is gaining popularity. It allows users to view content such as videos, animations, and slideshows. In comparison to Quicktime and Windows Media, our videos will be of the lowest quality when viewed in Flash. Flash is available for both Macs and PCs. If you don't already have it installed, you can get Flash for free from Macromedia by clicking on the button below.
