Quicktime 2 RSS

According to the Guardian Apple is working on something called 'QuickTime 2 RSS,' which will allow someone (in this case a teacher) to record a lecture and then have it automatically encoded for playback on a video enabled iPod and seeded to an RSS feed, which would automatically be populated on the iTunes Music Store. The best part of this? It would be free, you just need to buy the camera and the Mac to run it on.

Unless I miss my guess, this will be an addition to QuickTime Broadcaster, though I have been wrong before.

And a word of warning, this article is a 'Guardian Advertisement Feature,' so make of it what you will.

I think this could be really useful, keep things really simple.

With the iMac (and now the new MacBook Pro) coming with integrated cameras I can see this been a bit of a hit (and not just with teachers).

The supplement was produced in cooperation with Solution Expert, the educational division for Apple in the UK (IIRC) so I suspect the copy was written or approved by Apple...
I think you can trust this one 100%

What a great idea. No need to wait for apple to roll this out though since RSS already supports enclosures and some of the video sharing sites out there already have simple software and podcast listing facilities.

As long as apple uses a standard rss syntax and doesn't make up another one like they did for photocasting, this could be huge.
