microdoc is a micro documentary

Call me “whatever” (anal/a%$hole) but microDOC ...signifies to me micro document.... Not a video ...a video is less than ideal for my usages and was looking forward to reading material.

Maybe I’m missing something or overlooked something but truth in naming/advertising or whatever is a positive attribute...
Maybe it’s just a minor error or naming habit that developed ... that doesn’t serve well for this offering

Regardless hope this helps and thanks!

Have a good day.

I think Eric makes a very fair point.  Looks like a nice video, but then call it "a video," not "a micro-doc."  Potential customers would have a more accurate notion of what they are buying.

Appreciate so much the 72-hour free viewing for your monthly-ish subscribers!

Micro-documentary. Hope that helps.

Didn’t even think about documentary ...
With computer,government,technical, and engineering I’ve only ever seen doc used for document or documentation and ofc Doc as in “What’s up Doc?(Dr.)”

Doc for Documentary I’m sure is correct ...
especially for people that film or work in those industries.
However most technical type industries Doc/*.doc is documentation/document

I'm a writer. I mainly consider a "doc" to be a Word document. I understand why your mind went that way.

Heh!
Downundah here we abbreviate all kinds of stuff, and "Documenentaries"are oft referred to as "Docos", which makes sense  - but anybody called John is also likely to get called Johno...  which is not shorter,  <sigh>

More fundamental problem here.
It looks like excellent material, but it keeps stopping, with the 1990s-era circling-thing-of-frustration in the middle of the pic.

The Video Quality selector is indeed set to the recommended "Auto" but there is no smoothness at all.  U-tube and ABC sites working fine at HD with no hesitations, so for once I don't think we can blame Telstra.

Busy server perchance?  Will try again later...

I also expected Doc = Document.  "Micro-Vid" might be clearer, I think.  On the other hand, it has some nice info there, whatever it may be, and it is free, so I don't feel like I have space to complain

I too was appreciative... but I really wanted text... because I process even badly written text info in 1/10th of the time of a video ... also I don’t have to be connected/using bandwidth while reading...vs a video that constantly streams the bits at me.
