Hello Video Bloggers, I am new to this so bare with me. We are working on developing a video blog for our company. We have purchased Moveable Type is the foundation for building and publishing our blogs on our own domain.
It seems to me from reviewing free vlog and several other online sources that one needs multiple parties involved in order to actually get the blog with video content both published and podcastable ... 1. You need a Blog Host - in our case Moveable Type on our own domain. This is where the blog is both published and viewed publicly. All blog entries would be done here and would need to reference the video file on a separate host ... 2. You need a separate Host for the video files - Our Media, Blip TV, or uTube. This is only where the video file is stored and referenced by the Blog. 3. RSS Feed Enclosure - a 3rd company ie FeedBurner then provides an enclosure and feed address for your blog so that RSS readers and podcast readers can access and subscribe to the blog data and video files. The difficult part of this for me is that none of this is integrated in anyway. I am wondering if anyone (ie Moveable Type) is developing an integrated system that allows for unified publishing of the blog entry along with uploading the video file in various formats and creating all the neccessary RSS and PodCasting Feeds. And doing all this so that a company like ours can host this uniformly on our own domain. Our Project ... If anyone has questions about what we are trying to accomplish please visit our original site for "LifeSeens" at http://www.ChooseCast.com/Lifeseens This is published without blogging software and only as unmanagable static pages through frontpage. It is also published using Flashbased Video. You can then go to our test site for republishing this same "blog" using Moveable Type at http://www.ChooseCast.com/Charlotte/Lifeseens This was published with Movable Type using Flashbased Video and with a secondary file in iPod Quicktime for podcasting. An RSS feed is available at ... feed://www.choosecast.com/charlotte/lifeseens/atom.xml (the feed generated by Moveable Type) and feed://feeds.feedburner.com/choosecast/charlotte/lifeseens (done with enclosures) This feed is now available in iTunes if you search for "lifeseens". Neither feed however is functioning for podcasting because something is wrong with the quicktime video file format but im not clear about what. All files are hosted on the GoDaddy servers that host our domain and subsequently host our Moveable Type blog system. I would appreciate any insight into the video blogging options and any recommendations on more fully integrating all the aspects of blogging and podcasting in a unified service. In particular the hosting of video files and the blog on the same server. Thanks!!! John http://www.ChooseCharlotte.com Yahoo!
