  2. Week 5 Agenda • Unfinished questions… • Video podcasts • Lab time to work on projects (due next Wednesday!)

  3. Video Podcasts Creating a video podcast and creating an audio podcast involves the same process. • Research your topic, and plan what will be filmed • Film the video • Upload the video to a server • Create an RSS feed to advertise the podcast • Upload the RSS feed to a server • Notify search engines about the RSS feed

  4. Filming Resources Hardware • Digital Camera Product Reviews: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ • Consumer Reports • Digital Cameras: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/electronics-computers/digital-cameras-photos/ • Camcorders: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/electronics-computers/camcorders/reports/ Software • Handbrake (to convert DVDs to podcast-acceptable format):http://handbrake.m0k.org/ • Vixy (to convert flash movies to podcast-acceptable format):http://vixy.net/

  5. Film Editing Software • Windows Movie Maker: • http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/ • Getting Started Manual:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/getstarted/ • iMovie: • http://www.apple.com/imovie/ • Getting Started Manual:http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieHD_Getting_Started.pdf

  6. RSS Feed for Video Podcasts • After you have shot, edited, and uploaded the video, you need to add the RSS feed to make it a podcast. • The format is exactly the same as for an audio podcast (see Week 4’s handout), except that the <enclosure> tag will point to a video instead of an audio file. .MOV <enclosure url="http://username.tripod.com/coolmovie.mov" length="15421821" type="video/quicktime" /> .WMV <enclosure url="http://username.tripod.com/coolmovie.wmv" length="15421821" type="video/wmv" /> .MP4 <enclosure url="http://username.tripod.com/coolmovie.mp4" length="15421821" type="video/mp4" /> For a PDF file in your Podcast feed, the <enclosure> would look like this: <enclosure url="http://username.tripod.com/HowToPodcast.pdf" length="449914" type="application/pdf" />

  7. Final Project Information • The final project is to create and publish a 3-5 minute podcast – an audio or video file and an RSS feed advertising the podcast. • The final project will be turned in by sending the instructor (Mark Branom at markb@stanford.edu) an email with the location of the RSS feed. • Due date for the final project:Wednesday, December 12, 2007
