Hi everyone:
Try this then.... http://tinyurl.com/cfg2lx It's about 40 minutes long & over 40 MB in size so this ought to be an even better test. Cheers :) To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com From: patsbl...@live.com Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 14:02:07 -0700 Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Would Like Files Checked For Functionality Hi everyone: Yeah Bill. Sorry 'bout that. Forgot that phones can't handle long URLs. I'll try using TinyURL in the actual text links in the blog posts as that's the service I use when posting links to websites in my Twitter posts, but since the blog itself isn't phone-friendly (I don't think Blogger is), I'll have to find SOME way of using TinyURL to shorten an RSS Feed. Either that or people will just simply have to download to their computers and then transfer to their phones.

I converted the long URL to a short one using Bitly so it came out as http://bit.ly/ZX7qU. Much easier to work with. The picture (on my iPhone) was small - maybe 120px X 100 giver or take. As you know the audio is out of sync but you could hear it and see the video. You might take a look at using Blip.tv to host and deliver your videos. They encode in multiple formats including flv and m4v and the price is more than reasonable -either free or under $100 for pro service. Good luck with your project.

All I need to know is whether or not they can be viewed with a phone or other portable device. Any other specific details you choose to give will just simply help others out. I am aware of the video issues with Episodes 8 & 9 as well as the audio quirks in Episode 10 however I think I've managed to find a way to skin BOTH "wabbits" (As Elmer Fudd would probably say :D ). Instead of using Windows Media Encoder (As I was in Episodes 8 & 9 and all other episodes throughout my video podcasting history), I'm now using the new Adobe Flash Encoder (As I did in Episode 10). Though, in order to correct the quirks in the audio, I will be using the LOW bandwidth settings (That said, I may try to toggle with the screen resolution setting if I can since video was never an issue with Episode 10). So anyway, if you guys could check those videos out on your hardware devices and reply in this thread with any feedback you have, it'd be MUCH appreciated. I hope to have all three episodes posted COMPLETE WITH RETRO-DATES since they were recorded on different dates BY TOMORROW if all goes well. MANY thanks in advance.....
