<p>The purpose of this essey is through empirical methods investigate usability factors on Video On Demand applications for the Internet. More specificly we will focus on a application called Voddler. The purpose is to identify usability problems that exist in Voddler, and present the reader with suggestions on possible solutions. This could be used as guidelines to how to design for usability in this kind of system. We will use an online survey to investigate Voddler usability and use this data as a basis for our analysis. We will also conduct a expert evaluation of the system. The data collected from the survey will be compared to the expert evalutation and different theories behind usability. We will come to the conclusion that through a usability perspective Voddler has designed the software as an interactive Video On Demand service meanwhile the target audience want the application to function more like an normal computer program. This causes a conflict between the two that has to be resolved if one wants to optimize usability this kind of software.</p>
