Video Podcasts

[mcurl98]

I have enjoyed the podcasts and have learned quite a bit. Having a problem with the video ones though-can't get any sound. I've downloaded and tried each video listed. I use iTunes and have no problem watching the video but I get no sound. I have no problem with the Reefcast videos or any of your audio casts. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt

i am not sure, have you tried playing them outside of iTunes?
reefcast uses a different format than i do, so you can try to download another video podcast that uses iPod video format and see if that works, this will help to see if its all of this file type or just TR shows (most any podcast in the iTunes directory uses the iPod format)

Hi Matt,

I encounter similar problem with the audio sound terrible when I play it in the older verison of the itunes. Now with the version 7.0.1.8 I don't encounter this problem again.

I overcome the problem in the previous version by opening it seperately from the itune using either Quicktime or Media Player.

Hope this help

I dont care for quicktime (too intrusive for my tastes) and don't have any other need for itunes so i found VLC Media Player that works well

Thanks NaClFinatic,

I have just try out VLC Media Player. It work fanastic.

Also found out that there is a portable version that can be run without installing it on the computer. It is at http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable

cool

now if there was only one for pocketPC... Anyone know of one?

Mine onle plays windows media format and I haven't had any luck with converters that don't use quicktime
