Very nice, thanks to Redomino! I speak no Italian, but I can see that a great deal of thought has gone into the production of the movies. Very orderly. The content looks and sounds great. Content aside: concerning the media through which the movies are delivered, and the format, some minor comments: 1) at YouTube the order is fine, but the quality is less, so I aimed for blip.tv 2) at <http://redomino.blip.tv/> order is the reverse of what's expected (the 33rd video plays first, automatically, and the first video is last), so I followed their iTunes option 3) blip.tv for Redomino is not iTunes compatible (an issue with .avi) so I returned to <http://redomino.blip.tv/> and followed their Miro option 4) at <http://subscribe.getmiro.com/?url1=http://redomino.blip.tv/rss> 1-click subscribe doesn't work so I followed the advice to " download the Miro subscribe file and then double-click it" 5) <http://redomino.blip.tv/> RSS leads to to <http://redomino.blip.tv/rss> and again this is reverse order. I understand that this is a normal reflection of the order in which items were published, but for a collection of thirty-three movies — all so closely related — there is benefit in quick/easy/orderly navigation from one episode to the next. All things considered: * where .avi limits compatibility, and where greater quality is preferred, Miro may be most user-friendly. You might offer (from the Redomino web site?) a 33-point index to the set. This should address the issues that affect order. If we convert from .avi to something less limiting: * we should gain broader compatibility with iTunes. In terms of easiest navigation, between episodes, at the moment I can not find my favourite examples (widescreen: talking head on the left, presentation/movie to the right, streaming, with a pull-down menu for chapter navigation). In the absence of preferred examples, <http://tinyurl.com/prolearn-tv-intro-flash> (2004) is vaguely comparable. I have QuickTime Pro for conversion, from .avi to a range of more compatible formats <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html> but I should defer conversion until after I have found and shared the examples that I have in mind.
