welcome. Jose's feed is also http://feeds.feedburner.com/Burntwiretv you should meet up with renegad and schlomo and the other Bay Area videobloggers. > So here I am, I just got back from last weeks portable media expo.

Libsyn offers that feature. really a server is a server is a server. some people like to pay for a server becasue they have control over stats etc. some people like the Archive becasue its free and will store the video for "eternity" for the community. some people like Blip.tv because its free, the creators are cool, and very reliable. all you need to do is upload to a server fo your choice and link to it. it goes into the feed automatically. after you figure out your process, you should just be worrying about making video. > My second area of inquisiton is file format.

Bev, whose also on this list, thought she was behind the times because she asked this same question. but we all know that this is one of THE questions that is still in need of an answer. what format to use? as discussed earlier. if you want to be on the iPod..use QT. but WMV is fine as well for viewing. as a community we all need to tell our uncles, pranets, friends, grocers to download the two most popluar players. Quciktime Player: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/mac.html Windown media Player: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx both are free. these allow you to watch 80% of video on the web that videobloggers make. i feel like this is some kind of therapy group: "if they cant watch your video on their computer, its probably their fault." educate.
