Whiule I have no porblem deeing and eharing my podcasts, I am told by two widows users that my individual shows won't play on their machines Is there a reson a windows user couldn't see my podcast? It is an enhnanced cast with images in the podcast track.

Do they have iTunes on their machines? Then they should be able to view/listen to your podcast. Otherwise, MP3 is a more platform/software independent format, but you lose the advanced gimmicks.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that we also support the ability to read url (web links) from within the notes of your slides. Now you can take advantage of enhanced podcasts support for handling embedded links in your files.
With enhanced podcasts your audience will be able to see what you are talking about and visit the websites that you reference during your presentation by simply clicking on the current slide while they are playing the presentation back!
To use this feature, simply add the url (web link) that you want to embed in your podcast on the first line of the notes field in your presentation. Then set the title of the link that you want to be displayed by entering it on the second line of the notes field! ProfCast will read these urls and automatically generate links in your enhanced podcast file!

Are graphics larger than 300x300 possible in GarageBand enhanced podcasts?

I would like to migrate away from Podcast Maker and start using GarageBand. However, as far as I can tell, GarageBand limits enhanced podcast graphics to 300x300 pixels. This is not even nice on modern iPods. Is there a hack to make larger graphics possible? I am looking for at least 640x480 which is possible with Podcast Maker. The button to not force graphics to 300x300 seems non-functional as graphics end up at this size regardless of the status of that check-box.
Thank you,
Roger

I used to have the setting on my iPod set to have the backlit display on during our graphically enhanced podcast too. The only problem, and the reason I switched it back, was that it causes the battery to go down a lot faster. So that is something to consider too. But as far as I know, the user has to change that setting themselves.

Create mp3 enhanced podcast

I can't seem to find an option for creating an enhanced podcast in mp3 format rather than m4v format. I've tried converting the resulting AAC file to MP3 in iTunes but it seems to wipe the 'enhanced' bits by doing that. Anyone know how to do it?

You can't produce an enhanced podcast as MP3. It doesn't allow for the additional data, and images. You can only use AAC. There is no reason not to use AAC since anyone can play it on PC and Mac.

Having trouble with enhanced podcasts, Can anyone help me adjust my iPod?

Whenever I listen to my enhanced podcasts through iTunes, I have no problems viewing the photos the podcaster included in the program. However, when I play the same podcast in my iPod, the photos will not show. I only see the timeline with the little segments that represent the chapters. I can hit the forward and back arrows and I am taken the to the next chapter marker. But, unfortunately, I do not see the photos, as I do see them in iTunes.
Can anyone help me adjust my iPod to enable it to play enhanced podcasts correctly?
According to the iPod manuals, I should be able to see enhanced podcasts with no trouble.
Thanks.

I have solved it myself. Here's how I did it:
In iTunes, go to Edit and click to Show Art Work and leave it as "Hide Art Work." (Now it will download the enhanced messages.)
Now go to the iPod: From the Main Menu, go to Settings. At the Settings, go to the other Main Menu. From this Main Menu, go to Music and make sure that the following are on:
Playlists, Photos, and Photo Import, Videos, and Extras.
Good Luck.

How come some podcasts are loud while others I can barely hear?

I enjoy listening to podcasts while at work. I work in a place that does not allow head phones nor does it allow for a stereo. I use a small iHome speaker. The Red Eye Radio podcast has a perfect volume level, while the Billy Cunningham podcast, Bill Burr, and Stuff you should Know podcasts can barely hear at full volume. How come the volume is so different from show to show. Can't there be some kind of podcast/broadcast standard. I enjoy all these programs but find myself only listening to the ones I can hear.

Can't hear my Podcasts

I received a ipod touch for Christmas and just realized I can barely hear my podcasts. I've tried to adjust the volume on the touch. The music on the touch plays at a reasonable volume. What am I doing wrong?

You need to adjust the gain in the podcasts in iTunes or other audio/video software.
In iTunes, select the podcast, and get info.
Goto Options, volume adjustment.

Can iTunes show all of an enhanced podcast's written content?

Is there a way to see in iTunes the all the written content (descriptions often including hyperlinks) that I can read when I playback a podcast on my iPhone? If not, do you know of any software that will do the job? I just find it annoying to have to transfer an enhanced podcast such as this one to my iPhone if I don't want to miss anything:

Thx people.

Right-click > Show Description will show the description. No clickable links though. Don't know of any way to get at the other "enhanced" content.

Can I change the size of my enhanced Podcast or correct the aspect ratio

I would like to be able to embed pictures in a Podcast that are 480x360. As a worst case, I would like them to be 320x240. Is this possible?
When I open my .m4a or .m4b in QuickTime I see that I can adjust the aspect ratio or size. However, as far as I can determine, QuickTime will not let me save the change unless I save into a format other than m4a or m4b.
Saving as a mov eliminates the chapter control which I want to keep.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this limitation?
I'd accept 480x480 if that were possible too!
Thanks!

Follow up information:
The aspect ratio appears correct in a video iPod or via the iTunes interface. However, if the same file is played via QuickTime then the aspect ratio is forced to a square.
The overall intent is to view the enhanced PodCast full screen which can be done via QuickTime. The "Now Playing" window in iTunes is too small (Clicking on it to bring up the current slide does not work as the slide is not updated concurrently with the "Now Playing" window.

Can't get enhanced podcast exported correctly!?!?

As an experiment to developing an enhanced podcast of my own I took a live audio cd and imported it into GB 3.0.2 on one stereo audio track as one continuous file. I then added chapter markers and images on the podcast track.
It seems that no matter what I try I can't seem to get my iPod to recognize the chapters. I've tried exporting to disk and iTunes as well as tried editing the info through iTunes itself to no avail. Plus I also notice that the file doesn't display in iTunes under the Podcast heading like my other downloaded podcasts do.
I even tried deleting all other unused audio tracks as one previous thread suggested that GB has trouble with exporting enhanced podcasts with multiple audio tracks and a mixdown should be performed first and then chapterized. Although as the post also said the menu sould read "Export Enhanced Podcast to Disk..." which mine doesn't say.
Any help in solving this dellima would be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac G5 ~ w/4.5Gb Ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Alright Kids,
It seems that my G5 just doesn't seem to get it! I moved GB and supporting audio files over to my PowerBook G4 and was able to create the podcast with the chapters embedded as I was looking to do.
However the file with multiple audio tracks would not create the chapterized file correctly, and it wasn't until I deleted all unused tracks to one audio track and podcast track that I got the desired result.
I would presume that performing a mixdown and importing the mixed down file into a new GB file to add chapters would be the work around to the issue and in essence be the equivalent to my deleting unused tracks.

TS1702 All of a sudden I can only hear my podcasts in "fast" voices...not fast enough that I cannot understand what is said but still annoying!

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

I can't hear my podcasts any longer

I can't hear my podcasts any longer. Began yesterday after two yrs. iOS is up-to-date--7.1.1. The speaker's voice cannot be heard on podcasts. Switched to music app. The music can be heard and the background vocals but not the lead singer. Weird. iphone is 2 yrs old--model # MC922LL/AThoughts?

First sync--refresh--podcasts you've subscribed to so they download to itunes. Then click and drag each one to you own ipod. Then will sync (if you have it set to sync) with your ipod and download to it. You erase them from the ipod through itunes also.

Enhanced Podcast- Can I fill the iphone-iTouch screen with graphic

I have successfully created enhanced podcasts with SoundTrack Pro, and I can pre format all the graphics for the graphic track to be 640x360 or 480x272.
But, is there anyway currently to have this enhanced podcast graphics track behave like the iPhone-iTouch treats a movie file, that is fill the screen in landscape mode?

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

Enhanced Podcasts not working in 10.4.4 Firefox?

Every iWeb podcast page I've visited in Firefox 1.5 loads the QuickTime movie and shows an image and the playhead for a split second before being covered up by the QuickTime question mark image which links to the Quicktime download page.
http://web.mac.com/joetye1/iWeb/NTRM/Podcast/Podcast.html
This is a page that does not work for me. Is this a Firefox issue, or do you have to create the enhanced podcasts a certain way for Firefox?

I'm having the same problem but in Safari. I can see my podcast artwork and play / pause / start buttons whilst the page is loading but when the page is complete, the podcast turns into the broken quicktime logo.
http://web.mac.com/jamesward/iWeb/linda/Radio/Radio.html
I have definately got the latest version of everything installed.
The podcast was created in Garageband and sent to iWeb from there.
For some reason, friends who are using Windows can hear it no problem.
Also, the subscribe button works and the podcast works fine in iTunes.
