2 questions about (video) podcasts

Ok, so first question. I'm subscribed to a video podcast. And I know there should be new ones, but they don't show up in my iTunes. So is it possible that I don't get them yet because I have a dutch iTunes and they arent available yet for us? Or should everybody in the whole world be able to get the same podcasts?
2nd question: The videopodcasts don't show up on my iPod. It is taking place one it though, but I can't find them. They dont show up in "Podcasts" or "Video's" or "Videopodcasts". A while back they were in my video playlist "recently added", but now they dissapeared from there aswell. So does anybody know how to fix this?
MacBook
Edit: 2nd question has been answered. I had to mark them as "unread". And now they show up on my iPod. The first question is still unanswered, though.

answer to the first Question- The podcast isnt available for Dutch iTunes. beveryone can get the same podcasts from different iTunes stores, but some podcasts are oexclusive to some stores
hope it makes some sense
hope I answered ur question

Question about Video Cards on Laptops

Hi everyone, and sorry if I post this in the wrong area. I own a few computers, some are consider ancient and others are somewhat old but can run Windows XP just fine. I have a question about the computers in the stores today.
I am looking to invest in a new laptop, possibly a desktop in the near future depending on my budget. The question I have about video cards today is that, I enjoy a good MMO game now and then, I don't expect to play heavy intensive games, just maybe some more advance games. I notice that for one game that I want to play, it requires a video card to have (Shadow Rendering, Vertex and Pixle Shaders). Do the computers today have those as standard for thier video card? Or do I have to invest in a little bit more expensive laptop/desktop. I am willing to invest money for some more RAM, if I need to improve its preformance. The reason I ask is because I have a 4 year old Laptop with a broken keyboard, and I was thinking about just replacing the laptop with a newer one. it has some pretty good specs and runs everything fine, but it can not play certain games because of those missing video requirements. (Current laptop incase someone is curious: 1.5Ghz Celeron M, 1GB memory 64MB video (Shared) ) Thanks to anyone who has the answer to this question. (P.S sorry if everything is scrunched together. for some reason the formatting is wierd on Opera web browser

Graphics cards have all those standard today... or at least they should unless you get a really cheap Graphics card. The kind of graphics card and processor and other specs of the computer you want to get should depend on what you want to do with it. It also depends on the kind of games you want to play. If you're playing FPS [first person shooter] then you need a really good graphics card and processor. If you're playing something like Diablo 2 or something that's on the lower end of graphics then you just need decent specs. Graphics cards, I suggest something with aGeForce Nividia card... as of today, they are in the 9 series for high-end cards I believe. For processors... get something like Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 or T9600 or the Core 2 Quatros or Extremes. Extremes are intended for hardcore gaming and would be more expensive. For RAM you should have at least 2GB... you can always upgrade that later.
For laptops my suggestions are:
$3k+ get a customized alienware
$2-3 get a customized dell xps, or macbook pro [although if you're gaming i would suggest you dual boot with windows xp or vista]
$1-2k get a cheaper customized dell, or sony vaio
under $1k... well I don't know what to say... you can't really get a nice gaming computer for under that price.
I personally DO NOT like HP computers at all because they are so quirky and have so many problems and break down easily.

Questions about video studio

Hi. Not an Abobe question per se, but I'm going to be setting up a video studio / green screen room and thought some Abode users might be able to point me to an appropriate place to ask some questions about how this should be built. (Planning a 16' x 16', room, but could be up to 16' x 20' if necessary, standard 8' ceilings (no way around that).
Would like to film a weekly show in the studio with anywhere from 1-3 people sitting at a greenscreen desk; would also use the room to record singing and piano.
Will be processing with Adobe master Suite CS6 (and Sonar X2 for music in conjunction with Audition).
I've done some greenscreen work with a consumer grade digital camcorder and hardboard painted green, Keying with After Effects and using Premiere as nonlinear editor. But I'd like to set up something more professional now, while trying to keep the budget under control. Perfectly fine with DIY softboxes and screens as long as they work well.
Have questions about lighting, cameras, preferred room dimensions, and any othter factors I should consider when having this built (and needs to accomodate the recording of piano and vocals as well).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Steven.
I've been worried about the 16' being a little too tight - so will go with the 20' (even bigger might be better, but that's the most I can really do).
A few other questions:
1) I thought I was going to be limited to 8' ceilings, but depending how things lay, it might not be a big deal to put in 9' ceilings. Would that help significantly with the lighting or is it not a big deal.
2) Should I have electrician install lighting on the ceiling to illuminate the greenscreen (back wall) from above or to shine down on the talent from above and behind for backlighting - or should I just do all the lighting with standing softbox lamps?
3) I've read that sound in a rectangular studio can be a big problem. One recommendation was to hang black curtains on tracks that could cover all areas not in the shot - this would reduce bouncing of light and spill over from greenscreen, while also minimizing standing waves / echo. Any advice on this or other economical things to consider as room is being built?
4) I have a HV20 Canon consumer grade HDV camcorder - it has an HDMI port. Anyone have experience with Blackmagic Intensity Pro - which should let you capture uncompressed raw video from the camera?
5) Any one have advice on the Sony HVR-V1U MiniDV Camcorder - can get used for under $1000 - would this be a giant step up and make green screening / keying much easier (using Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6) - or not worth the money?
6) Any advice on what to do for microphpones during a show where 2-3 people are seated at a rectangular table facing one camera and talking? Will also record some electric piano and vocals.
Thanks for any suggestions (including advice about any other forums where I should post my questions)

Question bout video podcasts...

i bought ipod nano last august (right after they had just come out) and i have the itunes it came with (it's like a year old now) and i'm not sure if the itunes will play the video podcasts cuz back then there was no such thing as the video ipod.i would like to download some episodes of kyle xy and i'm not sure if my itunes will play it,and since i dont have a video ipod,i'm not sure if it'll play at all...i don't know if that made ANY sense at all,but it'd be cool if someone could help!
Dell latitude Windows 2000 iPod nano

Your nano will not play any videos on it. iTunes on the other hand will. Id recommend disabling antivirus and downloading the latest version of iTunes from apple.com first tho
Id also recommend going here to download the latest ipod updater that came out at the end of june for your nano. You can use it to update the software on your nano which fixes some bugs and allows it to accept the nike kit and I think some other accessories you may get in the future http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

Newbie question about video quality in CS3

I'm new to Premiere CS3. I've been using iMovie but wanted to move up to an app with more features and finer grained tuning. However, I'm having trouble getting my imported clips to maintain their quality. Don't know if I've got PrCS3 set up incorrectly or if I don't know enough about video formats.
I'm running Premiere v3.2.0 (374) on a MacBook Pro, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB memory, OSX 10.6.6
Here's my scenario:
I have a video clip with the following specs: .mov, 720 x 480, H.264, 30fps, bitrate 244 (see screen shot below). It was captured from my computer using Snapz Pro X.
I imported the clip into PrCS3 and was surprised the clip preview and composite preview were displayed at less quality than the original (even made sure the quality mode was set to "highest"). The video clip was squeezed a bit and the clean edges of my vector art were jagged. The entire thing seemed out of focus.
I thought the exported video might be better quality. I exported the sequence using the following settings:
But the results were no better (I've actually gotten better results using iMovie HD). Below is the final exported movie.
Any help from the PrCS3 community would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi,
capturing from your computer would give you square pixel aspect ratio....and you're using an aspect ratio for SD TV ( ntsc ), so it is stretching ....no longer a perfect "circle" in the paw print...
Your project setting should be made in custom / desktop ( dont use a preset )...and set it for 720x480 square pixels progressive ( no interleaving ), 29.97 fps... the codec choice for rendering when you set up the project could be dealt with later on if this solves your basic problem..
your export would then be the same as your project setting....720x480, progressive, square pixels, 29.97 or 30 fps ...should be good.
one note: h264 is already "compressed" quite a bit....its a "delivery" format...for viewing ...not really meant to be edited...know what I mean ? So you will lose some quality due to that stuff already being compressed...
but your pixel aspect ratio being "fixed" with the above should improve what you see quite a bit.
good luck

Question about Video file si

Hey, I just had a quick question. I just bought a Zen V Plus today and love it so far except for one thing... The video file size.
I have a bunch of videos on my computer that I have saved of YouTube and had previously converted into regular .avi format, so I could watch them on my computer.
So I have been looking for an economical alternati've to the iPod, so the V seemed like the right choice for me... But I used media explorer that came with it and encountered a pretty large problem.
The file size for each of the TV shows that I had saved were fairly small saved on my computer, averaging about 66mb. So I tried to put them on my Zen, but the file was incompatible... Not a huge problem, or so I thought, but when the explorer converted it it nearly tripled in file size, some even going over 200mb. I don't see what's going on, is there any way to make the file sizes smaller? Because as of now, I can only fit about 3 episodes of my shows and a few songs on it, while my brother, who has an iRi'ver Clix, can fit 0- shows and a ton of music.
Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Unfortunatly the Zen V PLus was not really designed primarily as a video player, as such it just doesn't have the capabilities to handle compressed video.
The video playing was designed as something extra that it can do, but doesn't seemed to have been designed for the video heavy user.
I have tried many different formats but it doesn't appear that you can make the video any smaller, as the devices can't handle compressed video. (My daughter has a a Zen V Plus, I stick music videos on it for her and it works well for that.
I have a Zen Vision M, as I like watching full length shows.)?If you are into watching videos I would recommend getting one of the players (such as the Zen Vision M) that is designed more around storing and displaying video.

IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
Thanks.

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

I have two questions about my podcast on iTunes - Image and Author

Hello. I have very recently added my podcast to iTunes, by submitting the RSS-feed that is given by wordpress (that's where I have my podcast homepage) It looks allright, and the feed includes Name of podcast, title of podcast shows, description and in some cases even length of the podcasts. There's two things not showing though, and that's an image for the iTunes page, and the name of the authors.
I'm not sure if you're allowed to link to your feed like this, but here is however the feed that I've sent to iTunes: http://rodrost.wordpress.com/category/podcast/feed/ . I thought that the picture up in the right (of me and a friend) would be the picture showing up on iTunes. And I don't understand where in my feed to put in the authors. If you could answer my questions I would be very grateful, thank you.
/ Joar.
(This is how it looks on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/se/podcast/rodrost-podcast-podcast/id507886804 )

Posting your feed URL is not only allowed, it's necessary to get answers to most questions, so thank you for posting it.
You are missing some necessary entries in your feed. The second line of your feed should include the 'iTues declaration':
xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0"
which should be added within the 'rss' tag. Without this iTunes cannot read the 'itunes:...' tags which are in any case missing. The image is carried in the 'itunes:image' tag and your name in the 'itunes:author' tag, and there are other tags which carry information - your podcast is working without them but some information is as you see missing.
This page includes a sample basic feed so that you can see what I'm talking about:

I can't advise on Wordpress: it seems likely that you need the PodPress plugin to get this to work properly, but I'm not sure whether you can do it without.

Questions about editing podcasts

I just got my MacBook Pro and switched over recording my podcast to GarageBand and I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored? There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
2) Is there a way to save a single picture/"album art" that will stay the whole time the podcast is played instead of dragging the picture to fit the length of the show in the "podcast" track or by playing the file in iTunes and dragging the picture into the album artwork space?
3) Is there a way to put in ID3 information before exporting to mp3?
4) Not really a GB question, but is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac i.e. making sound clips from a DVD, creative sound blaster cards have the "What U Hear" option, is there something similar to this on the mac?

1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored?
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#aiffsstored
There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
GB's edits are non-destructive, jsut drag the edge of the region out, the audio is still there.
4) is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac
get Audio Hijack, or WireTap

OK: simple question about video out

My new mac mini should arrive today. I'm taking it one step at a time but planning down the road as I hope to hook it to my TV for Netflix streaming, Hulu, etc. I've ordered the S-Video adapter so I'll be good there.
My question: I know that to drive a second monitor (not mirrored) that a third party, usually USB solution is needed. But what if I just want to mirror out to my TV what is shown on the monitor? Will a DVI splitter do the job?

A splitter will generally not work - or at least that well - because it means the mini will receive two separate signals from the displays indicating conflicting possible settings. It would only then work at resolutions which are common to both displays - typically 640x480 and 800x600.
What complicates it more in your case is that since you want to drive the TV with the DVI-to-S-Video adapter, if you were to add a splitter before that cable, it would eradicate the S-video component since that is catered for by the adapter alone. And clearly you can't add a splitter after the adapter.
There is no real, easy way to add dual display use to a mini, but the recently released USB adapter and the Matrox dual-head-to-go are probably the most viable. Even then, in as far as the former, the USB display will be relatively slow, and in the latter, you will be limited to what amounts to two 1024x768 screens - in effect, your TV and a 15" LCD. It is also not clear whether the Matrox unit passes the S-video component of the mini's output, meaning that if it does not, it can also not be used if a TV is being connected by composite or S-video.

Very basic questions about video production

Hi, I've just changed from PC to Mac and I'm feeling a little lost about some basic issues. How do I record my videos on my HD to edit them? I can't even do that!! My beautiful macbook pro plays them perfectly, but there is no option in any menu or tool bar(as far as I know...) that allows me to transfer ithem into my HD.
Someone HELP me, please!!!!

A question about videos.

Hi,
I am about to start a project where we will be using a number of videos. These are going to shot using a studio and I can specify any format that I'd like for the final output. Can any of you recommend the most trouble free format as well as codec or anything else I might need to know?
Many thanks as usual for all of your help!
Gary

Hi there
Captivate basically only likes to use the Flash Video FLV format for video.

Question about video recording and size of the recording on a tv/comp

So i just started editing my iphone movies with imovie for mac. However I ran into a problem right away. When i recorded a video while holding my iphone vertically the playback was horrible on my mac because it was so skinny and not wide at all. First off I was wondering if there was a some way to make it wider? My videos that were recorded while my iphone was horizontal then they are perfect when viewing on my mac. So if anyone can help me with this question i would greatly appreciate it.

You cannot record a video any wider when recording a video in portrait mode or make it wider after being recorded. If recording a video in landscape mode is what you prefer, you need to record all videos in landscape mode.

Question about video files

hello all:
i have a question for the community that i would love to have answered.
i have some video files that i have converted from a dvd i own to m4v files. of the 280 total videos, i am having a problem transferring 14 of them. of these videos, the only real common thing i can find is that some of the videos are larger in 'height' than then the 640x480 pixel specifications, but does that really matter? i ask because most of the videos are 720 pixels in width which is larger then then the 640 pixel max resolution i've seen before, but they still copy and play. also, not all of the videos that are having the issue are over the max resolution specifications.
i guess my real question is this: what are the real specifications for video files that can be played on the iPhone?
thank you all for any insight you can provide!

From my own experience, I can tell you that there is no one converter that works on all videos. I've had the best results using this, it has built in presets for the iPhone:

A question about Video Cards

Is it possible to upgrade Ram on a video card (from 256MB to 512MB) or would you have to get a new one? Are the video cards set for so much RAM and can't be upgraded unless it has bad RAM that needs to be replaced? I was just wondering. I'm thinking about upgrading someday and just want to be sure I'm going to get the best results for what I need. Thanks for any info.

No, your best bet is to take out your current video card and sell it. The vRAM on a GPU is hard-wired hence you can only replace the entire card. It's too bad that the technology industries don't consider the ability to upgrade their products when designing them ... think of how great this would be for our environment. It would also be cheaper for everyone: consumers and manufacturers. At least the graphics card isn't integral with your logic board!
