[Using Sakai] How do you approach Sakai timeouts when viewing long video content

[Mathieu Plourde]

We run into the same issue once in a while with our home-grown course
capture system. Our answer is usually to get out of the Sakai frameset
altogether for longer videos (a link on a page with a REAL target="blank",
not the one provided in the menubar), which might not be possible in your
case.
