Re: [videoblogging] Finally a video podcast that brings you the freshest in British new music
My question to the technically inclined is this: how does one go about shrinking a 320MB .m4v file into something that is more manageable for download and upload? I'd like to 'podcast up' the 30 minute edits we have of the launch night but they are very large. We are currently making one available as a .wmv download. Not ideal but the file size is a more manageable 60MB. Does anyone else have any experience of creating 20minutes plus of video for podcasting. Are there compression programs I should try out? Do you warn potential subscribers about the file size/potential long download in your summary file or just serve it up? What could go wrong, if, say a download was halted, for example? -- I don't think, given the automatic nature of general podcasting, that anything more than 10 mins is desirable. Nothing to stop one from offering a seperate feed with longer pieces for those who want it tho. Literally millions of people bittorrent, and think nothing of up/downloading entire DVD's In fact, in the world of bittorrenting, until the advent of the ipod at least, files of anything less than DVD (or DivX equivalent) were considered inferior and looked down on. Personally, I use the Internet Archive, who actually specifically ask that one contribute as higher quality source as possible, when long form is asked for. And also, on occasion, bittorrent out at DVD quality. Veoh, and even google, are other options. joly --- WWWhatsup NYC http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com --- Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Finally a video podcast that brings you the freshest in British new music
Hey, Hope this finds you well. Here's the first podcast from a pet project of mine. The 3 Minute Gig Video Podcast is a live music podcast filmed at one of Manchester UK's esteemed live music venues. We (www.realfresh.tv) film a night of live music with the freshest bands on the indie music scene here, grab a handful of interviews with each of them and then edit the whole thing into a series of podcasts. The 3 Minute Gig is the first of many. Check it: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=125277402s=143444 Hope you like. Comments welcome either way. I've been a long time lurker on this group and I have to say I've been regularly impressed by the quality and quantity of 'postage'. Here's a cyber hi-five to Mr PunkCast, I was well-impressed to see someone else doing a similar thing and doing it well for quite a while. Respect. Ditto Ms. Rock N Roll TV. And also to the 'Boom boy, Andrew. You may notice my homage to your show in the 'watch' pages of www.realfresh.tv. Keep rocking.
