I'm currently using <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> and <a href="http://www.mightyseek.com/podpress/">PodPress</a> to manage the feed and video. But I can see why some people who don't want to install QuickTime might not be able to see the show. <br /><br /> PodPress currently makes me very happy with its stats reporting, but if I have to dump it in favor of something else, I will.<br> <br> I have tried placing the video in the <a href="http://revver.com">Revver (site currently down)</a> Flash player and including the video file as a "feed only" option with PodPress, but for reasons I can't diagnose, that doesn't work in iTunes.<br> <br> Ideas? <br> <br> My best idea so far is just to include an obvious link in each post that redirects the user to a different site (YouTube or Revver or something) to watch the video, but that's not exactly user-friendly. What would be easiest for both me and the viewer? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.81648 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 09:35:41 -0800 bryanjbusch video podcast vidcast wordpress feed feeds podpress revver youtube xml rss atom flash http://ask.metafilter.com/81648/Video-podcasts-are-supposed-to-be-easy-for-everyone#1209807 Well, I kept fiddling with things, and it looks like my problem was actually the Democracy poll plugin for WordPress that was invalidating the feed. So, nevermind, I guess. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.81648-1209807 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 09:53:26 -0800 bryanjbusch
