Hello again

Just Informing you all of an update to hCast...

There is a new web service that extracts RSS2 from hAtom available at http://transformr.co.uk/mrss/http://your.url/

The web service will extract RSS2 in three ways

* hAtom to RSS2
* hAtom + rel-enclosure to RSS2 with Enclosures (a podcast)
* hAtom + media-info to RSS2 with enclosures and MRSS extensions

If you are just using hAtom + rel-enclosure the only required element of enclosure is a type specifier, optionally you may also add a length(size) in bites example:

<a rel="enclosure" type="video/mp4;length=18454938" href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/factoryjoe/videos/2.m4v";>Original</a>


Best Wishes

Hello, Happy Christmas All.

I am pleased to announce hCast short for Hypermedia Podcast

hCast[1] combines two microformats, hAtom[2] and Media Info (hMedia)[3] to create a single distribution format suitable for any hypermedia content. The output of the hCast format is RSS2[4] + MRSS[5] extensions which can be syndicated and subscribed to using a media player such as iTunes[6] or Adobe Media Player[7].
