>SO MUCH FOR QUICKTIME
It'd be nice if we could ignore Quicktime, but (if I understand
right) all those people out there with Apple devices like iPhones and
iPads (there are a lot of them) view videos through a Quicktime
player. That means that if we want to set up videos for them to view
on the web, we have to kowtow to Apple's PAR ignorance policy.
Which means I've got to re-encode all my videos from 1440x1080 to
1920x1080, adding no extra resolution, but making the files 33% bigger.
Fie on Apple. Steve Jobs may have been a brilliant design advocate,
leading consumers by the hand into pastures of computing delight, but
he was always far too reluctant to let go of your hand one you were
there and let you do what you want. I'll be curious to see if Apple
gets any looser about what they let they customers view now that Jobs is gone.
Before I wax too cranky, I guess I need to test all this on an iPad
(which I've got), but iTunes is the only way to bring files in and
it's very picky about what it will let through to the iPad. The last
time I tried to import .mp4 files iTunes claimed they weren't
compatible and refused to load them onto the iPad.
If anyone on the list knows more about video files and iOS devices,
I'd love to learn more. I promise I'll stop being cranky.
Thanks,
Mike Boom
