Can't submit picture for video podcast in itunes

When I first got my video podcast up, it had a picture. Since I changed it a couple of times, now all I see is the black box in the itunes window. I get the question mark in the submit window when trying to submit again.
The help section off iweb says to, "drag a picture into the submit window" when submiting a podcast to itunes. That is impossible as far as I can see.
How do I update my artwork for my itunes store podcast?
http://rss.mac.com/pskunk/iWeb/Site/Podcast/rss.xml

Hi,
Find the XML file iWeb makes, open it up in a text editor and change the entry for image and reference a small 300x300 image of your choosing which is located somewhere on your webspace.
Look at the podcasting how to from Apple. If you're on Dotmac, your XML file is published in a fork from iWeb called RSS.
Copy the file and amend it each time you upload. I'm afraid that seems to be the only way to do it.
PLEASE APPLE, LET US CHOOSE OUR OWN THUMNAIL IMAGES FOR ITUNES

How can I see thumbnail pictures for Videos like I can see for Jpegs

How can I see thumbnail pictures for videos like I can see for Jpegs in Elements organizer.

You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

Applications for Video Podcasts?

I have a client who wants thier material available for video Ipods, they want the videos available to be downloaded worldwide. Are their apps out there that take the videos I create and create the code needed to publish at I Tunes? I been researching this a bit, seems very complicated. Thanks

Michael, iLife will do it for you. However, if you use the default settings to encode your videos, the files will be huge.
You can use QuickTime Pro to encode for video podcasts. Again, the default settings will work fine, but the file size will be huge.
There are a few things you must set correctly in QT for the resulting video to play on the video iPod.
First, to use your own settings, you must use QT Pro 7.0.3 (not 7.0.4, there's a bug in 7.0.4 that keeps the encoded file from playing on the iPod).
Next, you must use the "Baseline" setting. The "Baseline" setting can only be found by doing the following:
Use the Movie to MPEG-4 setting
File format: MP4
Video format: H.264
This will give a "Video Option" button. Change to "Baseline" only.
That's the key. After that, any settings can be used, such as data rate, frame rate, etc.
Depending on the content of your video, these settings will vary. If there's more motion, you'll need a higher frame rate and higher data rate.
Here's a starting point. If you have Final Cut Express:
1) Set Gamma to 0.9 [necessary for Windows displays, which are darker]
2) De-interlace [I use the lower field]
3) Sharpen at 30 [H.264 softens, so I sharpen to compensate]
4) Color Correct [I use auto settings for white, mid and black. This adds contrast and especially black]
In QuickTime 7.0.3:
Use the Movie to MPEG-4 setting
File format: MP4
Video format: H.264
This will give a "Video Option" button. Change to "Baseline" only.
Encoding mode best quality (multi-pass)
Set Data Rate 80, Image size 320x240 QVGA, Frame Rate 15, Key Frame Automatic.
Click Audio
Audio Format AAC-LC (Music), data rate 48, channels mono, Sample rate 44.100, encoding quality Best.
Do this on a typical one minute clip and adjust the frame rate up if the motion seems too jumpy, but if you do, you'll also need to increase the data rate. If the video seems blotchy, set the data rate higher. If you have stereo music, set it at stereo, but set the audio data rate to 96 then.
These settings should give a good base for a start.
There are other applications to encode video for the iPod, some free, some costing hundreds of $$. I have tested many of them. The one I use is QuickTime Pro. It is not fast, but it does make the best quality videos.
Hope this answers your question, Michael.

IMovie for video podcasting?

Couple questions for using iMovie HD ver. 5.0.2 for video podcasting...
1) It is possible? Is there a direct function that exports to one of the formats required for video podcasting?
2) Is there an export format that allows people WITHOUT VIDEO iPods to hear the audio portion of the same file..
ie. an MP4 or something, that people with video iPods can WATCh...but if downloaded by people with regular iPods, can listen to?
(I already have an audio podcast, so save me the trouble of making two separate files, one video+audio and one just audio).
Thanks!

File>>Share>>Expert Settings>>Movie to iPod
.. is supported in iM6, booger posted in iM5 forum...
get iSquint
export your project as QT/FullQuality, drag'n drop into iSquint, let it do the job...
iPod movies are mainly mpeg4 with some specific settings (res, max bitrates etc); iSquint does all that, and has a superior mpeg4 compressor then QT... just to mention that, Throw...

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

Searching for video podcasts

How do I search for video podcasts in the Itunes store?

You could always try a manual ping of the iTMS servers...enter this in your browser's URL field adding your podcast's ID number at the end:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=
Or this adding your podcast feed's URL at the end:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=
I know that this is a good way to get the iTMS to refresh your episode listing...not totally sure it will help the keyword issue.

Artwork for Video Podcasts

Is there any way to force iTunes to show embeded artwork for video podcasts in the podcast list? Right now it shows little previews of a random frame of the latest episode. Not only is that uninformative — makes it difficult to find a particular podcast, — but also bad for my OCD.
Thanks.

Well, that's the thing: all the video podcasts in my collection have artwork assigned when I look them up in iTunes Store. For example: the official Apple Keynotes podcast, Diggnation, Tekzilla, etc. But in iTunes, they — and every other video podcast — all show a still frame instead of artwork.
All the audio podcasts in my collection display their respective artwork just fine.

Cant download video podcasts from Itunes

For some reason I'm having issues downloading video podcasts on itunes although I can download audio podcasts. I just switched computers and moved my itunes download directory, everything seems to work except Video podcasts.
I don't get an error, it says done but no download file shows up, it just keeps the icon GET on the right side.

carlos, I to am having the same issue as you, and it is extremely frustrating!! I can watch the temp file get larger and larger, then once it has finished downloading, it gets removed from the PC! Hopefully someone has an answer.

Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

@King_Penguin thanks for your help
See below some additional info:
I have 3 Macs:
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US.
I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

Hosting for video podcast

I intend to create a video podcast (1 or 2, 15-minutes episodes/month). My shortlist for the hosting service is:
www.Podbean.com
www.Libsyn.com
and www.typepad.com
Any positive/negative experiences with any of the three mentioned above? Thanks.

Can't say I know much about any of the three you listed, theHman, but I would definitely back up *David Tames* in saying that I've heard/seen good things about blip.tv -- they would be especially good for you because they will auto-generate a podcast feed for you (just be sure that if you submit your feed to the iTMS, that you pick the version that has the QuickTime format in it, and not the Flash video format which is the default).
GoDaddy.com . . . ugh. Quite a few of the questions/complaints that we get on this board are rooted in problems with their hosting service, either because of outages or because they don't support some file types. Personally, I would stay away from them.
Good Luck.

Coverflow artwork for video podcasts

How do you set the artwork for a video podcast so it will show within the itunes library? I'm not talking about the end user setting the artwork but the podcast creator. Seems that itunes uses the first frame of video as a default but I have seen other video podcasts have a specific picture, not the first frame of video, as their artwork. Example, subscribe to Creative Cows Final Cut Pro Podcast and there is a picture in your podcast library.
Here is my xml file
http://www.ci.lakeville.mn.us/podcasts/meetings/podcast.xml
I use Lemonz Dream's "Podcast Maker" to create the xml files.

No bites on this one yet? . . . Okay, I'll have a go.
So what you want to do is set the artwork for your podcast . . . Fairly easily done, but you first need to understand something about artwork for your podcast FILE versus artwork for your feed XML. (They are two completely separate things!) In the case of what you want, your XML code (and the artwork linked therein) doesn't matter because it doesn't affect the podcast file once it has been put into a podcatcher of some sort (e.g. iTunes). The artwork from your XML is only really of use to the iTMS and sundry web readers. So, have no worries about what method/program you are using to create your code or the validity of your file.
To set/change an individual episode's artwork you actually have to edit the .mov (or whatever) file. Hold on - that's not as scary as it may sound. First, do you already have the artwork that you want to use? Or do you want to capture a "good" frame from your video and use that? If you already have artwork, awesome. If you want to use a certain frame from your video, all that you need to do is play your video and freeze it on the desired frame and take a screen capture. (To take a screen cap, use Print Screen or Alt+Print Screen on a PC; or Command-Shift-3 or Command-Shift-4 on a Mac -- crop it if needed, and save the file as a jpeg/gif.)
After you have your desired artwork lined up, all you need to do is open your .mov in iTunes. Right- or Ctrl-click on the file, and select the option "Get Info." A window should come up - the last tab will say "artwork." Select the artwork tab, select and delete the pre-fab iTunes issue artwork, and then click "add." This will allow you to select the file of your desired artwork. After you've added the artwork, click "okay." Your file has been successfully modified, and is now ready to be uploaded!
And ta-da, when someone downloads your podcast file, the artwork will show up when they play the file (or in coverflow). Why? Because the artwork is now part your video file, and it is included in the download of your podcast.
More info, and possibly less confusion, about what is going on with this topic can be found here. (When you're reading it, just replace "MP3" with "MOV" in your head.)

Thumbnails for video podcasts?

I have a 2 year old son. He watches the Sesame Street video podcasts on his iPad. Obviously, he cannot read yet, so he selects the podcasts he wants to watch based on the video thumbnails. He has been doing this on the Video app.
Unfortunately, I have made the mistake of upgrading to iOS 7, and the podcasts are no longer detected by the Video app. He now has to watch using the Podcast app - which does not show thumbnails!! So I have a frustrated child, who now clicks on 100 different videos trying to find the one he wants to watch. It's either downgrade the iOS, or he has to start learning how to read (I've tried. It's not easy at 2 years old - as he has just started learning the sounds for A - J).
OR is there a way to display thumbnails on the podcast app?

Hi Sally, same problem here.
As Mavericks is my first Apple OS I can't help myself much....
What I've found out so far;
Mp4 does work.
Perian codec used to do the trick supposedly even when Quicktime is not the default player, unfortunately it is not supported anymore, no info if a potential replacement fixes thumbs issue.
Thumbsup didn't work for me, maybe also a Mavericks issue if someone knows ? Drag & drop solutions where additional files are created won't help me much anyway as I'm trying to fix a 1000+ horror movie library and I refuse to use crap like Plex. What we need is something like Babelsoft Media Preview, I use it on Win7 it's perfect
Any help is welcome !
