The Commanding Heights netcast is segmented in "chapters." If you prefer to work with DVDs in the classroom, you will find that the netcast chapters match the DVD chapters. If, however, you are working with a VHS copy of Commanding Heights, you'll need help to locate these video segments on the tapes.

This page lists all the chapters in the netcast, and the point in time on the corresponding VHS tape at which each chapter begins. The counter format here is h:mm:ss -- hour, minutes, and seconds elapsed from the start of each program.

To find particular chapters on the video cassettes, you must first synchronize your VCR with the log.

How to synchronize your VCR with the log:

Insert the tape that has the chapter you want, and rewind it to the very beginning. Press play, and wait until you see the FBI warning screen. As soon as this warning disappears, set your VCR's tape counter to zero. The times reported in this list will now correspond roughly to times your VCRs counter shows.

How rough? All VCRs are a little different, and you may zero-set your machine a second earlier or later than someone else might. Consequently you may have to "jog" the tape forward or backward a few frames to land on exactly the point you want. But the times given here should be pretty close.
