Hey all! I could use an expert opinion here :) I have recently joined the "video team" at my church, which I am really excited about! My church is pretty high tech and they do all kinds of video projects that need editing, and things like that. They have a podcast, and are really interested in starting a video podcast now, which they are interested in having me help with! So this wednesday, I am going to be telling them all about my experience in videoblogging and how I can help them set up a video podcast of their church services.
Anyway... I noticed that all their podcasts are published via iWeb from a .mac account. http://web.mac.com/shandonmedia/iWeb/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html There has been someone in charge of that, and I'm not sure if they want to continue using this method for their video podcast as well, but I have to think (and this is where I need an opinion) that using a .mac account for a video podcast wouldn't be the best option in this case. On one hand, it's not like they need to have commenting set up and things like that, but is there not also a space limit with .mac accounts? I'm sure they would not be opposed to using a free service for video hosting if it would be just as good with unlimited space. What I really want to do is tell them about blip.tv which has the added benefit of converting the videos to flash as well! So I guess I'm asking for thoughts on this. Does anyone on here use their .mac account / iDisk for their videos and what is your experience with this and is there an advantage. Thus far, I wouldn't know, since I have yet to pay for hosting. Go Blip! :) Erin Nealey Mom's Brag Vlog nealey.blogspot.com
