TUAW Video Podcast, The Second
I've been experimenting with the video podcast format since last week's installment, and we're having lots of talks in the back offices here at TUAW Central about moving away from boring old-school audio-podcasts to video podcasts playable on your 5G iPods. Consider this a test, and a test where we're looking for some feedback from you on what you'd like to see and discussion of how we could do this better.
With that in mind, I present to you this week's installment of our TUAW Video Podcast, weighing in at 14MBs and running about 5 minutes long [link]. It should also show up in the iTMS here and if you use a different program for your podcasts, you can subscribe via our podcast feed: http://www.tuaw.com/category/podcasts/rss.xml
In the video podcast, I do a quick mini review of World of Warcraft on the Mac, then show some basic Finder tips that may be of interest to those of you who are new to the Mac, and then I finish up by announcing our new chat handle here at TUAW (AIM: tuawchat) and pointing out ScreenCastsOnline, the site where I found the tutorial on how to put something like this together. I didn't go to all the lengths outlined on that site. I simply captured the screen with SnapzProX and then did all the editing in iMovie. This episode leans a little towards the directionless and stream-of-consciousness at this point, but, as I said, we're feeling out this new format, so there's going to be a learning curve. Bear with us.
Major thanks go out to TUAW reader, C. Robin Osborn, who put together the intro graphic for the video podcast after watching last week's episode. Hope you all enjoy this, and please comment to let us know what you'd like to see in the future and what you'd like to see done differently. Next time, I think we'll spend more time scripting the episode and providing a breakdown of what will be covered, and maybe I'll do the editing in Final Cut Pro, so we can actually get the audio levels a bit more uniform throughout.

I knew this would happen. Just as I was really getting to enjoy the audio podcasting. Those of us with the 4G iPods that we really love are going to be out of luck as people think video podcasting is the way to go. I think it sucks. Don't forget the grassroots base that got podcasting started folks...

I noticed that it took 4 bounces for Safari to launch (my 867mhz Pbook takes 1 or 2) and the windows resizing seemed awfully sluggish. Was everything slower because you poor TUAW bloggers are still using G3 machines? :-p Or was it just the app you were using to capture the video..
