Hi, I subscribed to the Terracotta video podcasts at http:// feeds.feedburner.com/TerracottaVideoPodcasts and when I wanted to sync them with my iPod I noticed that the format isn't playable on the iPod (and neither the iPhone afaik). I thus converted those that I downloaded to the correct format, you can get them here: http:// rifers.org/downloads/terracotta/
I'm not sure who prepares them, but this is the easiest way I found to get fast, easy and good conversion: * download and get a license for VisualHub (http:/visu/ www.techspansion.com/visualhub/) * launch it * drag all the files you want to convert queue of the app * click on the iTunes tab at the top * click on the drop-down under 'Optimize for' * select 'All Devices' * click on H.264 encoding * set Quality to High * press Start This actually makes bigger videos than the screen sizes that are supported by the iPod and the iPhone, but the videos do play. The advantage is that they look better on a computer of on Apple TV. The current video podcasts are either a tad to big (768 by something) or are using an unsupported codec (Sorensen 3). Hope this is useful and I think it would be nice to prepare all the video podcast episodes in an iPod/iPhone/AppleTV compatible fashion. We might then even try to get the feed included into the iTunes podcast directory, which should attract some users.
