What is a
Video Podcast (vodcast) or MPEG-4 file?
A video podcast (also known as
vodcast or vidcast) is the term used for the online delivery of portable
movie files that can be downloaded and viewed on your computer or on your
video iPod. Unlike video streaming, a "vodcast" allows
multiple viewing from your computer or on your portable iPod, MP3 player and
avoids the barriers of inadequate bandwidth and slow transfer speeds.
If you download a vodcast file onto your MP3 player you will have access to
the audio presentation of the file.
Do I need
an iPod or an MP3 player to watch and listen to video
podcasts?
Not
at all. You can watch and listen to vodcasts directly
from your computer. If you want to take it with you, any
iPod or MP3 player will work.
Do I need
iTunes to download video podcasts? Is iTunes compatible with my PC?
Yes, iTunes is available free at
http://www.apple.com/
iTunes is compatible with PC and Macs. Once downloaded, iTunes will
serve as your access menu for audio (MP3) and video (MPEG4) files.
How do I
download a podcast into my iPod or MP3 player?
-
Simply
right click with your mouse on the vodcast link.
-
Select
Save Target As and choose a destination for the vodcast download
(desktop, file folder).
-
Once the
file has downloaded, which will take about five minutes for an hour
presentation, click on the file icon. The MPEG-4 file will
transfer to your iTunes MOVIE menu.
-
You can take it with you... connect your iPod or MP3 player
to your PC or Mac and transfer the movie file from the iTunes menu by
dragging the file to the player icon. Remember, podcast movies and audio files are only
downloadable once into iPods and MP3 players. The file will remain
in your iTunes menu for additional viewing on your computer.
-
You can
view the movie or listen to the audio file from your computer by
clicking on the file in your iTunes menu. The toggle bar will allow you
to stop, advance, pause for your viewing convenience.
Now that you are ready to
vodcast... we welcome you to download and view our offerings of
archived presentations.
