What is a podcast?
A podcast is a multimedia file, audio or video, distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.
What is the best way to describe a video podcast?
You can think of video podcasts as a new version of television - one that you can literally take anywhere - mobile video.
What kind of file is the video podcast?
The video podcast is a MPEG4 video file which is compatible and supported by virtually all devices that support video files including iPods, phones that support video and gaming devices. You can also play the file in QuickTime or a Real Player on your computer.
My phone supports video so how do I watch the video podcasts on my phone?
Every phone works differently but many phones have a quick install and all you have to do is download the file to your desktop and drag the file into your phone’s quick install and synch it. Click on your media icon on your phone and watch your video podcast. Also, make sure you have enough memory to download the file onto your phone. Video files vary in size.
What if I don’t have a podcatcher (mobile video device like an iPod)?
You don’t need an iPod to watch a podcast - simply watch it over the internet on your computer in QuickTime, Real Player or Windows Media Player.
How do I subscribe to hear more?
Automatically get new episodes by subscribing to the podcast thru iTunes or thru various podcast directories, iTunes being the most popular. When you subscribe to get new episodes, they are automatically downloaded to your iPod and you can listen and watch your podcasts whenever and wherever you want.
You can also opt in to our email list and be alerted to upcoming episodes and then watch the episodes on your computer from our web site.
Why download the file?
Downloading complete video podcasts in advance (via iTunes etc.) gives the user the ability to play the video podcasts offline on a portable media player like an iPod. You can then watch the podcasts at your own convenience and share it with others.
The great fun of podcasting is that there are no rules and it is easily accessible to a global audience so enjoy and spread the news. If you have any questions please email us at videopodcaster@gmail.com
