Thanks, Mike I'd been meaning to write to you about it since I posted that here yesterday, and hadn't got round to it. The only problem with using the Blip feed for iTunes is that I'd lose the ability to let people click through to my Blog from iTunes - there are permalink arrows on each episode in iTunes that link back to the original post. If you take the rel="enclosure" off the flv link, that'd sort it out fine. You could also allow people to set what type of file they want to prioritise for podcasting in their crossposting code. Feedburner will make enclosure of the first file with a rel"=enclosure". If people want that to be flash, fine, but maybe they could set that manually from a little pulldown menu in the preferences or sharing menu. I think your crossposting and autocrossposting is so futuristic that it makes me want to cry, especially when combined with the mobile upload. I highly recommend all videobloggers who use Blip to investigate it.

A couple things: * You're going to have the best experience using blip to get to iTunes if you use your blip iTunes feed to do it. Your blip iTunes feed is http://yourname.blip.tv/rss/itunes/ * If you use FeedBurner in this fashion it'll still work, but you may run into problems like these. * We're about to refactor our cross-posting system in an upcoming release (probably maybe a month off) and we're going to address this problem in that refactoring. The entire cross-posting workflow and templating system will change... and those changes, in addition to making everything more elegant and more efficient, will almost definitely solve this problem.
