Watch video podcasts with iTunes
Authored by: dirkje on Jul 12, '05 10:14:01AM

It's actually called VODcasting (VOD=Video On Demand). A Dutch guy (what is it with the Dutch, first Curry, now VanderZiel) demoed VOD streams in iTunes RSS last week, and it's already going mainstream. Yesterday Public Broadcaster VPRO announced their VODcast feed. It's all on www.vodcast.nl

We could use their How-To pages to create a new Hint? Wikipedia has some stuff too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodcast

funny, from the community I came from, it's called videoblogs, or vlogs. whatever. Anyway, check rocketboom (on itunes podcast directory), a must have.

A good creation tutorial can be seen at freevlog.org

and I discussed itunes vlog capabilities at my blog.

If anyone wanna try it... it's nice to watch TV outside mainstream media.

???

I subscribed to Rocketboom, but when I play it, I don't get any video! It does indeed have the little camera icon next to it, but all I get is audio... What gives?

you have to change your itunes preferences... the default is to show the video in the album art area (lame), but you can change it to separate window, or fullscreen (that's not that good as it seems, because you lose the timebar).

they're not vpodcasts or vod casts or video pods or whatever. they're just streaming media files on the internet, something that has been around for years, and we do not need a new word for it.

too bad, nedscott, but there /was/ a videoblogging community before itunes 4.9... and even if the term podcast, or video podcast will in the end wins over, it's still important to people to know what to refer to, when they google to new shows.

but what about all the other shows that already exist that don't have the word pod attached to them? ooooh, didn't think about that one, did ya.
