Q.
What is a Videogram?
A Videogram is a file containing highly compressed video and audio. A Videogram typically will include the
player so that any Windows PC user can play the file back on their computer. With Videogram technology, you
can fit over 60 seconds of video and audio on a single 3.5 inch floppy, so, for the first time you can deliver high-
quality video on a floppy, through email, or over the Internet.

track with new audio.
