And we will be telling iTunes about the iPod/iPhone compatible feed, so
in theory you just search for Terracotta in iTunes to subscribe, rather
than the manual subscribe process required today.

Hi Orion,
might be worth checking quality and file size of what you achieved
with QuickTime Pro and to compare them, I've heared that the H.265
export isn't of the greatest quality. It is certainly a lot slower
though.
Best regards,
Geert

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.

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.
Take care,
Geert
