[videoblogging] Re: when posting a podcast wich format should I use? _apple?_Rating?
so does choosing one format affect your rating on the web? For popularity sake? If I choose 640 x 480 quicktime alone, is this better than choosing multiple sizes and extentions. .move, flv, tec, etc. Will my rating be better on the web using only one size and file extention.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: when posting a podcast wich format should I use? _apple?_Rating?
IMHO, don't listen to Apple or Microsoft or Adobe when picking your format. They want you to believe there is a standard format, that's how they make money, but it isn't the case. There is no one holy grail video format on the web. There is no MP3 of video presently. To reach the most people you need to deploy multiple formats. It seems to me that the current consensus opinion is that 3 formats cover most bases: .FLV for in-browser viewing (all those Flash players you see on the video sites). For downloading and feed readers: QuickTime (iPod/Apple TV/iTunes-compatible) and Windows Media (Media Center and other devices). Good luck!

this is very helpful. And I see we have choices because of our history. But in the apple tv column, something made sence. If you keep your file to one size fits all, it will help your rating's verses, splitting it up with different versions for every different user.

Can someone read my setting's below in previous question osted? I am told apple tv is: 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., and I am also told this: Yes. The standard resolution for ANY videoblog should be 320x240. Anything else and you're really making it rather difficult for those of who watch via the PC. Can someone make this clear for me? Also see question below. Thanks. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Patrick Cook patsvideoblog@ wrote: Hi everyone: On 4/14/07, Daryl Urig daryl@ wrote: With the sound track, a one minute movie 133 megs. I am using 16 bit color 44 khz 16 bit sterio. It is a 640 wide so it can be used with apple tv. Is this a little large? Yes. The standard resolution for ANY videoblog should be 320x240. Anything else and you're really making it rather difficult for those of who watch via the PC. Bottom line - Large screen resolution doesn't amount to squat. It's VIDEO QUALITY. If the QUALITY of the video is crappy, then you can make the screen resolution WALLSIZED and it'd still be crappy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't the tutorials still up on MeFeedia? Hope this helps :D What quality should I use on sound track? What quality should I use on quicktime movie? How small should this file size be? thanks in advance. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen solitude@ wrote: Den 14.04.2007 kl. 19:06 skrev caroosky carter@: intermingled somehow. I think quicktime uses an swf in the quicktime wrapper when making things clickable in the video. Or something. No. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen
