Describe the bug
The max video resolution is 480p, my students are complaining about the low resolution. The videos are blurry and difficult to read at larger screen sizes. At their original size, the text is too small to read.

Traceback

Javascript Errors
No JS errors, just videos with too low a resolution

Well, those videos were recorded around 2012. In a perfect world I would have the time to re-record them. But I barely have time to keep up with fixing bugs and adding new features here and there. I've read all the insulting comments on YouTube so I am well aware that students don't like the quality. The text is there for them in the book (or it was in 2012).

If someone out there had the time and ability to re-record them, even using the transcript from the originals, I would be more than happy to replace them with newer high quality videos. Not just because of the resolution, but because the book itself has evolved over the years so the screens in the video don't even match the current book anymore.

Maybe Berea students could take this on this summer?
