YouTube Podcasting in iWeb

Can i post a youtube widget video in an iWeb podcast page and it show up on iTunes? Im trying to save space on my website but i want to still be able to have space and have my podcast on iTunes.(Specification-->) Is there anyway i can upload a video to Youtube.com and link it into my iWeb podcast page and have it displayed as an episode supported on iTunes so that i can have space on my website/iDisk?

AFAIK this won't work. iTunes requires the feed to have a direct link to the media file, and as far as I can see YouTube wraps it in its own display code and doesn't allow you to get directly to the file.
The test of whether a media file URL will work in your feed (other than subscribing manually from the 'Advanced' menu and seeing what happens) is that if you paste it into a browser's address bar it plays in the browser - in this case by itself, and not embedded in any surrounding page. You could certainly try that and see if it works, but I'm dubious.
Similarly in iWeb, if you can make a podcasting page in iWeb and manage to get a YouTube video to work there, publish it, make a note of the feed URL and then in iTunes go to the Advanced menu and subscribe. If it works, it works: if it doesn't, then you won't be able to get the Store to accept it.

HELP!! "timed out" submiting video podcast through iweb to itunes

I am trying to submit a vid podcast through iweb to itunes and am getting a timed out message. Please help. I have read other posts similar to my problem, and have checked to see that all of my fields are filled in. Don't know what the deal is. thanks for the help.

This is what I received from iTunes help:
Dear Eric,
The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand,
it may take a week or two before the podcast is published.
I'm sorry to hear you received an error when you tried to publish a
podcast to the iTunes Store. If you are re-submitting a podcast for
review, the iTunes Store may detect the submission as a duplicate and
generate an error message stating that the feed has already been submitted.
You can follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
1) Change the title and link fields of the RSS feed to something other
than what they are now.
2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the
title and link fields back to what they were.
There are several less-common reasons iTunes might have displayed this
error:
* The podcast's RSS feed was not available.
* The podcast's RSS feed timed out.
* The podcast's RSS feed could not be validated.
If you are the podcaster, make sure your podcast is available on the
Internet. Your podcast's RSS feed also should conform to the iTunes
extended podcast RSS specification.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple
Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues.
Click Producing Podcasts in the Pro Digital Production area of this page:
http://discussions.apple.com
If you are not the podcaster, please contact the podcaster and direct
them to our specification.
Thank you for your interest in the iTunes Store. Have a great day.

Subscribing to podcast in iWeb does not work???

I created and exported to iWeb a music podcast using Garage Band. The podcast correctly imported to my iWeb website, so you can visit the site and play the podcast their. This process also creates a "subscribe to podcast" button on the iWeb website, which is supposed to allow visitors to click it and the podcast will automatically be added to their iTunes podcasts library. Well, this partially works, that is, an entry IS made in the iTunes podcasts library, but the entry does not work. It appears to reference the full text page of the podcasts webpage instead of the actual music podcast, so when you try to play the podcast within iTunes you get an error message.
Any ideas? There does not appear to be a way to correctly point the iTunes podcast entry to the actual music podcast on the website instea of the text main page.
Thanks.

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Embedding pdf or show notes into a podcast in iweb

Is it possible to embed show notes or a pdffor download into a podcast using iweb? Either through Garage band or by editing the RSS and XML or some other way??

Here's a test page with an iTunes preview page enabled by using a simple iFrame code.....

GarageBand Fails to post my podcast to iWeb

Ever since I loaded iLife 09 garageband has not worked right. So far every two out of three attempts to share a podcast with iWeb fails. Garageband puts up two barberpole status readouts, turns on iWeb and when it is finished----nothing. How do I report a problem to Apple. these two programs seem to have problems interacting.

I turned off auto normalize and attempted to share a podcast with iWeb. Garageband did it's thing, turned on iWeb, I noticed the spinning color icon for a few minutes, then....nothing. Normally iWeb pops up a dialogue box asking which podcast page to post the episode to, no such box appeared. Thanks for the advise, I have yet to call product support. I guess I will tomorrow.

Import mp3 podcast into iweb?

I exported my m4a podcast from garageband to iweb, and it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, not everyone could hear the podcast on their phones. I converted the m4a file to mp3 using itunes, but now don't know how to get it back to garageband, so I can export it back to iweb. Do you know of another way I can import a mp3 podcast into iweb?

I don't know what phones this may or may not work work on but, I have been playing with jPlayer which works on "iOS" so iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch:

Is it possible to embedd other Non YouTube videos on iWeb sites?

You know how there's a YouTube Widget that lets you easily embed YouTube videos on iWeb sites? I imagine this Widget doesn't work for none YouTube videos (e.g. MetCafe), so how do we embed those on our web site pages?

Use an HTML Snippet and an iFrame code.....

There are two versions of the same movie on this test page. One uses the Vimeo code and the other uses an iFrame code with the URL to the Video.

Uploading .mp3 files vs. uploading .band files for Podcast on iWeb

I teach high school and have my students creating audio files for podcast on my iWeb site. Most of the students give me their files in .band format, but some give them to me in .mp3 format.
1) Can I upload the .mp3 file for podcasting to iWeb without turning it into a .band file (which I have been doing).
2) When I drag the .mp3 file into the GarageBand program and then upload it to iWeb, the autopage looks different (no date, no place to write a little blurb, etc.) Is there any way to get them to look the same when using the Share>send to iWeb feature.
3) I also receive frequent corrupted files (8-bit not supported with an abort button). I have never personally receive this message on files that I have created, but I can't figure out what my students are doing incorrectly--anyone know?
Thanks for any possible help.

I am putting a link to what I am talking about--maybe that would help?

Youtube Video in iWeb "html Snippet" is Blank?

The html Snippet Widget shows an unhappy face icon when I publish the site to the internet in preview form. In iWeb itself the video shows up as a blank box on my site when I load the "embed" text from the Youtube video into the black box window and hit "apply".
Here is the Youtube Embed text if it helps to analyze it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GdC9WLhUum0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can successfully load the Youtube Widget but I dislike the 4 x 3 format with excessively large top/bottom black bands and control bar. I prefer the 16 x 9 format of the html Snippet, but it needs to function.
Help please.
Dan

Okay, it is simple. The video will not work because there are mistakes in the code that you have posted - if the code is incorrect then it won't work.
Where you have src="//www.youtube.com/embed, the code should in fact be as follows:
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed
I have just opened iWeb on my Mac and copied and pasted the code, but then changing it to http:// and the video works perfectly - comes up with someone in a canoe and is entitled River Discipline.

The easiest way to put a YouTube video in iWeb...

Whew! I am so stinkin' proud of myself. Now this tip isn't for you techno gurus out there. This is for the person who is as clueless about half the files on their computer as I am.
I have a blog. I tried to use iWebMore...I've tried iWebEnhancer...etc, etc. I just can't figure out how to import YouTube with those. I've got major iDisk issues that I cannot identify much less resolve.
So here's the tip. A couple weeks ago I downloaded a widget called TubeSock for YouTube videos. I finally opened it up to see what it was and guess what? All you do is copy the url of the video right into Tubesock and "save" it to "video for Mac" and "add to movies folder." Ta-da! So then in iWeb you just insert a movie clip and it's right in there. Drop and drag!
If you download TubeSock for free, then it only records 30 seconds of the video. But registering it for $15 lets you download the entire video. (Some of us will pay anything for easy!)
Let me know if you're as happy about this as I am because I cannot BELIEVE I figured something out on my own!!!
Btw, the url to Tubesock is http://stinkbot.com/Tubesock

Great find Gina. The best thing about using uTube on your site is that it doesn't use up your bandwidth. And I can also tell you that once you figure out how to do one thing with iWeb the rest comes very easy. Hopefully in the next version of iWeb you will be able to add a piece of HTML code right in the site, rather than having to add it post publish. Keep up the good work!
P.S. If your interested in the way to add a uTube video in your iweb site just post your question in here. There are a lot of talented people in this forum willing to share information and ideas.

VIDEO PODCAST WITH iWEB-how to deal with huge file size

Hello folks,
I have created simple website for my video podcast. It all works fine, except one problem. I had used just small video clips for now, just for testing... and it takes long time for website to download. I can't even imagine, how slow it will be, when I have full 15 video episodes within my website. So I am wondering, is there any way of how to maintain that cool iWeb podcast structure (with podcast page, entry page and archive page) but not to embed those videos onto the page, but instead, play it externally? I have tried to just post the link to the video clip, but than "publish to the folder alternative" does not create correct rss.xml feed, because it does not know where those clips are. So it doesn't work in iTunes.
Any suggestions? Thanks for any input or advise.

Hello,
unfortunately, no answer yet. The only solution I can think of, is to create a Blog instead of Podcast, then post hyperlink to your video file on entry page. That way, the actual video is not embeded on that webpage, but it only downloads when someone clicks on it. That way you probably won't be able to use subscribe button and RSS subscribe button, but you can create your own Feed with Feed For All software (http://www.feedforall.com), put it on your domain, then post it's URL on your website. So if someone wants to subscribe to your podcast, he will copy that address and paste it into the iTunes or some other podcast readers.
I am a beginner, so this most likely is not the best solution, however, it works so far.
Good Luck

Trouble Embedding Youtube Videos in iWeb '09

I am trying to embed a Youtube video into my webpage but when I click on "add html snippet" or drag the youtube widget onto the page, all I get is what looks like a text box without the area to add the embed code. I had no problem with this in '08 but '09 will not recognize any of the videos that I had previously embedded.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.

Enhanced podcasts on iweb - embedded URLs misbehave

i create enhanced podcasts with chapters, embedded urls, pics. i usually export ('share') them to/with itunes and my iweb-created site. (as m4a files).
when they go to itunes, and are distributed through itunes, they behave properly, in that when a viewer clicks on an embedded URL link, the page pops open in a separate window and the podcast file stops playing.
when a visitor clicks and plays them from the website, the player opens in a browser window .. then when you click on an embedded url .... it leaves that browser window completely and goes to the page. but the podcast files simply closes ... so to go back to it .... you hit the backwards arrow, and you have to restart the podcast. stoopid. apple says it's hard wired that way, while admitting it's a dumb setup. does anyone know a way around this ? i'm not a code monkey, but i can do a little hacking if necessary. thanks ....

After checking out the history of photography, I see it uses a double text track with photo-jpeg track for the photos, this is a similar format for chapter markers on itunes movies, chapter markers are accessed via the up button on the remote, so the possibility that photos could be seen by a back door method isn't possible anyway because the up button already has a function for audio files on the tv.
In short no you can't see the photos I'm afraid.
