Re: [videoblogging] iTunes 1-click subscribe
The vast majority of Mac and Windows users are too LAZY to download and install QT 7. Right? How cool is that? We have to acquiesce to the LAZY MASSES? A lot of people don't really know how to update the software on their computers. Others can't -- like all the machines at the University where I teach are locked down so the people who use them can't change them and the people who change them only do so twice a year (and it is the same at every public library, every internet cafe -- and most people globally are accessing the internet at an internet cafe). Other people don't want to upgrade to QT7 -- like me for example. I need to have my system working well and am not in a place right now where I want to be messing around with software that from many accounts is buggy. Quicktime 7 for Mac came out when I was on a big deadline for a film I was cutting in Final Cut, and I would have been insane to alter my computer system mid-project. Once my project was done, I was hearing about all kinds of weird bugs people are experiencing, and I decided to wait until they are worked out. I didn't start compressing files using Quicktime 6 codecs until Quicktime 6 had been out for about a year, despite the fact QT6 is far far far superior to QT5. There I was plugging away, publishing in QT5 simply because I knew many people wouldn't be able to watch my films with their old players. In fact, I'm getting comments now that people can't see what I've compressed for QT6, and I know (from the symptoms they describe) it's because they STILL only have the QT5 player. We all are coming from different places -- some need to be on the cutting edge in order to know what's happening there. Others need to back off a bit to get work done. Some want to drive the technology forward by supporting and using the most recent tools and demanding their audiences keep up, others want to reach a less-tech-savvy community and so know they must hold back a bit. None of these choices are right or wrong -- they are just choices, and those of us who understand the technologies with a deep, rich set of experiences make all kinds of different choices all the time. Rather than getting all huffy and self-righteous, it's better to just realize this technology is incredibly complex, and still overwhelmingly tricky for the majority of people. The best way to help out is to calmly teach teach teach teach teach :-) Many many people on this list do exactly that every single day.. and more and more human beings on our planet are getting more and more computer literate and media savvy. jen YAHOO!

If your videos don't show up in iTunes it's probably because a) you don't do Quicktime videos b) your feed doesn't use enclosures Let me know if you have any questions. Hope you like it :) Ok. The buttons are now on my blogspot page. They look great! Unfortunately, they don't do a thing! Here's my stuff: Box - PC Browser - Firefox OS - XP Pro SP2 Itunes - 4.9.0.17 RSS Feed - http://feeds.feedburner.com/icenryevideo Mefeedia ID - 527 QT - Pro 6.5.2 When I click on my button , iTunes opens, but nothing shows up. If I drag the PC link to iTunes, the blog name shows up, but I get an ! telling me there's no feed. The mac link, however, when dragged to iTunes seems to work! Looking at the code I notice the mac link contains my feedburner link. So I dragged the feedburner link into iTunes, an voila! Video. I'm guessing the problem is with this: http://mefeedia.com/pcast/527.pcast link. I thought the problem might be my coding, but the link on Dummycast didn't work and I have a link to Michael Verdi's site which also comes up empty. On a better note, I've added the archive thumbnail code to my site and it looks good so far. A few entries missing, however you mentioned it will get better in time. I'm, looking forward to more great stuff from Mefeedia. Shel -- www.icenrye.com www.icenrye.blogspot.com www.icenryelikes.blogspot.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Explains YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] iTunes 1-click subscribe
I am doing H.264 videos and mefeedia is not seeing them. It only lists the one video that I am linking to that I did not make with H.264, Marc Canter on ourmedia.org in Seattle last week, instead of all 5 (four H.264 by me). They all come down on QT 7.0.1 Macs and all play on those setups. But not on 6.5 setups.What's up with that? Are H.264 QT movies BANNED from this culture until further notice???

Re: [videoblogging] iTunes 1-click subscribe
My bad. This si the first SANE explanation of have seen as to WHY H.264 is not an acceptable format. Thank you Brett for that lucid explanation. I will RECOMPRESS without it and REPOST the first four.I now fully understand. Pardon my denseness. Too much obsession with FutureMEdia.

Or has Verdi proven in his QT 7 review that H.264 is just a press release? I have been too busy to read it yet. Sorry Michael. Well, you gotta figure that a lot of people a) dont have computers that are fast enough b) aren't as obsessed with this shit as we are and dont really care c)dont have high speed to download it or d) its incombatible with their operating system. and there is also the e) for a lot of people who paid for quicktime pro 6, it's not compatible, and they lose functionality. So, I don't really think its laziness, its just a bit bleeding edge right nowYes, it looks great, but it takes a while for everyone to catch up YAHOO!
