Thanks for explaining, Steve.
As I understand it, the only reason Josh can't change the iPod file
to .mp4 instead of .mov is that is that he's got something
(Feedburner possibly?) creating 2 feeds automatically - one regular
size/ipod compatible, one HD. The only way his feed generator can
Its bad practice in theory, but in practice it wont cause a problem
under certain realworld conditions.
In theory its bad because the structure of a mov is not the same as a
mp4, therefore its cleaner and safer to create an actual real mov
using the save-as method, its very quick, obviously not q
Somebody will probably tell me why this is bad, but you can just
rename the file from .m4v to .mov and it works fine. Plays in
Quicktime, plays on Ipod, and will be picked up as a .mov by your
Feedburner feed generator. For your purposes, you don't need to mess
about with converting or re
I think there might be a way for you to use whatever file type you'd
like for each of the feeds if you base it on "role." When you upload
the different files for an episode you specify Source or HDTV or
"Portable (iPod)." I think if you based the feeds off the role, it
would give you a fi
the reason I want mov's is because my feeds are based off filetype ipod is
separated by mov and mv4 HD is separated by MP4. If i wasnt hosting on blip,
I could specify the videos for each feed by simply using a different
filename prefix but blip changes both the beginning and end of the file
name,
My question is why not make them MP4's too, and skip MOV? It's easy
to convert MV4's to MP4's just change the file extension. I set
compressor up to output ipod comtatible files with the MP4 extension
rather than the M4V so they will play back within a browser window
without any problems and I

If you have quicktime pro, you should be able to open the m4v/mp4 in
quicktime, then do a 'save as' 'self contained movie'. This should
give you a mov without actually needing to recompress the video or
audio again, it just wraps it up in a mov file format. So as long as
your m4v/mp4 was ipod compa
