Creating Video Podcasts for download by clients

Hi there,
I'm new to ipods & have recently bought an ipod touch. Now as I look through itunes & podcasts, I notice people creating photo slideshows, etc for clients to be able to download as podcasts from within itunes.
Could someone point me in the direction of instructions/how-to's for creating a slideshow podcast, then on making it downloadable in itunes for my clients?
Thanks in advance

How do I create a self-contained video podcast for download?

I have a series of videos from a conference I taped years ago that I want to make availanble to people as a digital download. I have purchased some training coruses from places like Ripple that send you an e-mail with a link to the download the course material. Clicking on it opens up iTiunes and downloads the entire training course as a Podcast (video). So it is not hosted on iTunes and is self-contianed to download all "eppisodes."
How is this done? How is this created so I can post it on a server and have people download it? Auto-instal to iTunes would be nice if easily acheivable.
Thanks.

This page explains how to create a podcast:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
It's written with audio podcasts in mind, but there's little difference in making a video podcast. Your video files must be .mp4, .m4v or .mov, not .wma or .swf (Flash).
In the 'enclosure' tag the 'type attribute must be as follows for the different file types:
.mp4
video/mp4
.m4v
video/x-m4v
.mov
video/quicktime
Most podcast creation programs or service will handle that for you, so it's probably only relevant if you are handwriting the feed.

HT1689 I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no pro

I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

Creating video aps for Iphone downloads?

I didn't want to cross post the same post. I made the original one in the Compressor forum since my question dealt with video compression first.
Here's the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2582515&stqc=true
Can you create video files for Iphone Aps using programs like Final Cut or Imovie, or do you have to use separate programs like FLASH or Shockwave?

I bought Compressor, but took further advice on customising presets and codecs that I found online. The built in Apple H.264 codec doesn't produce as good a result as the freely available X.264 codec. You need the 1.2.27 version available from here:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoder
You place the x264Encoder.component in Macintosh HD/Library/QuickTime/. Be very careful not to put it in QuickLook folder by mistake - bad apparently.
Follow the advice in this excellent article to set up the preset for x.264
http://www.larryjordan.biz/compressor-x264-improve-video/
Having done all this, I set up a preset in both codecs that matched as completely as possible, ran them both on the same video source and compared the results. The x.264 codec is superior. It gives much cleaner results than the Apple one at the same file size.

Need help preparing a video podcast for iTunes

I'm trying prepare a video podcast for submission to the iTunes Music Store.
I followed the instructions here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/videopodcasts.html
The file that QuickTime 7.0.3 creates using the "Export Movie to iPod" option is an .m4v file. If I upload that to my server and blog, Safari and IE don't recognize it (they interpret it as text). Is that a browser issue or a hosting service issue?
I also notice all the video podcasts I came across on iTunes Music Store are .mov files.
Should I post my video podcast as .mov instead of .m4v file format?
Any tips/help much appreciated.

At the bottom of that page, it says:
* By following the steps in this tutorial, QuickTime 7 Pro will automatically create an .m4v file containing H.264 video and AAC audio.
iPod can play the following video formats:
H.264 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
MPEG-4 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
So yes, .mov files will work.

Firefox 24.0 does not update any YouTube page for the download extensions. Video aivalable for download is the 1th opened in the tab and not the video playing.

On YouTube, when more than one video have been played, staying on the same page, videos aivalable for download, by any Firefox Download Extension as Downloader Helper, Flash Video Downloader or 1 Click Video Download, are the format options for the first video opened in the tab, and not format options for the video actually playing.
I have tried resetting Firefox ( Firefox menu : ? \ Troubleshooting Information \ Reset Firefox), and reinstall Videos Downloaders (without Adblock Plus that I normally use), it did not solve the problem.
Temporary Solution :
Refreshing the http://www.youtube.com/... page ( by hitting the round arrow at the right of the adress bar ) allows me to update the download features but it is annoying as it restarts the playback every time I decide to download a video ( so is it having to remember to refresh the page ).
I am surprised it seems no one have experience and solved this problem yet.

What hardware are you on? Flash is always a finicky beast, especially on older hardware. This is not an entirely uncommon problem. Try looking at this [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|support article]] and see if that helps.

Replace the link "Create Bookmark Link" for "Download"

When I execute a report from interactive columns in principal report ( published in the dashboard), I don't download for default, because this link not exist. Is it possible to replace the link “Create Bookmark Link” for “Download” (excel)?, Can I add additional link "Download" or "Export" to Excel?
Thank.

I don't understand what you want. Do you want a link that will download a Dashboard to Excel? Why do you want to replace the "Create Bookmark..." link? What's that got to do with your requirement?

ITunes video podcast wont download

Using the latest iTunes on WIn 7 and have three video podcasts which appear to download but when they complete they haven't downloaded and appear greyed out with an open circle on the left. Can anyone help please?

Yes, the file isn't where it's supposed to be, therefore it cannot be downloaded onto your computer.
This is a problem with the Podcast. Each episode is held on a server, the Podcast producers specify where the file is, and all iTunes does is list it according to the information supplied by the producer. (Neither Apple nor iTunes store the Podcast, they simply list it.) When you ask for it (either manually or via a subscription) iTunes asks the host server to download a copy to you. However, if the file is not actually stored where the Podcast's producers say they've put it, you get that message.
I suggest you contact the show's producers to let them know there is a problem. On the iTunes Store page for the Gadget Lab, you should see a link to "Website." Follow that and send them an email.
I've had this happen with Podcasts I'm subscribed to. Usually, all it needs is an email from someone to let them know, they correct the fault and hey presto, done!

Creating video podcast -- movie format requirements

I have QTPro and have used
Export--->Movie to iPod
in order to make the flie podcast-ready. The only problem is that the resultant file is twice the size of the original.
I'm wondering if these specs will also work for a podcast:
Format:
AAC, Mono, 22.050 kHz
H.263, 300 x 225, Millions
FPS:
14.56
Data Rate:
380.49
Size:
300 x 225
Unfortunately, I do not have a v iPod to test on. Does anyone know off-hand if a .mov file with the above specs will work for a podcast?
Thanks!

Hi mmusic, welcome to the discussions!
As you discovered, the default iPod export settings make huge files.
Instead of exporting as .mov, use .mp4 and the H.264 setting, which gives the best quality of video.
BUT, you do need to do something which will make it work on the video iPod, and that's set it to "Baseline." Where is baseline? It's almost hidden in QTPro.
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.
Here's what we use. You can modify to your own liking. We keep our data rate way down in order to make small file sizes.
Do as above.
(Under the Video Options button) Restrict Profile to Baseline
Encoding mode: Best quality (multi-pass)
Video format: H.264
Data rate: 75 kbps
Optimized for download
Image size 320x240 QVGA
Frame Rate: 15fps
Key frame automatic
Audio: AAC-LC
Data rate: 48
Channels: Mono
Output Sample rate: 44.100
Encoding Quality: Best
You can change any of the settings as long as you have the "Baseline" profile checked.
Hope this answers your question.

Hey wingrider97,
Are you trying to download the Podcasts on iTunes, and then sync them over to your iPod? Or are you attempting to download them directly to your iPod using the Podcast app? Depending on your answer, one of the following documents might help:

Video podcast not downloading

For the past few days it seems like all my video podcast will not download properly. They look like they are downloading and when they are done I get a grey explanation point and when I click on the podcast I get a message about a corrupt file or a file that i-tunes can't play.
Also my regular podcast from time to time go out and get every podcast in a feed and then starts downloading them all even though in the prefs. I have it set only to download the most recent podcast.
I tried this on my mac mini I-tunes 7.1 and on my macbook pro i-tunes 7.0.2
Any ideas
Joe

Count me in, too. Throughout March it was kind of sporadic, but recently it's been almost daily. Especially ABC World News.
Anybody else out there having the same thing?
Black MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) various older macs going back 15 years, and they still work!
