I actually have iPod and iPhone versions ready to go, I just haven't published the iPod-ready feed yet (Taylor's been bugging me to do this for a week).
I'll have the separate feeds up soon. The larger versions use Sorensen 3 rather than H.264 because it results in a significantly smaller file size. I used QuickTimePro to do the conversion. As you might expect, it has an export preset for iPod, iPhone, and AppleTV. --Orion On Sep 7, 2007, at 4:53 AM, Geert Bevin wrote: > 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).
