What is now called a podcast traces its orgins to the first iPod podcasts, the creation of distributed mp3 files that could be downloaded and played on Apple’s music player, the iPod. When the iPod came out, and users discovered what a wonderful thing it was for holding music, some people had the idea of loading things that weren’t necessarily songs. Some of the people that got their hands on the iPod took the route of reverse engineering the iPod and loading on different firmware, or operating system, but others had the idea of sharing small sound files that could be played on the iPod. The technology for distributing the files already existed, with RSS feeds. RSS feeds were a means of generating machine readable files that could share information between a server and a user. Many blogs already used them to keep readers up to date with the latest posts, but some hopeful podcasters had the idea of enclosing links to sound files within the RSS feed and downloading the file to the computer. With the change in RSS feeds, iPod podcast took off and podcasting became a popular way to share files. Users saw podcasting as a way to become radio hosts, or dj’s, and a variety of podcasts began popping up. Software was written to automatically check the RSS feeds, extract the links to the podcast episodes, and download the files. These programs became known as podcast clients. By this time, podcasting had moved beyond the iPod and they were not simply making an iPod podcast anymore. Some people had figured out how to use even the PlayStation Portable gaming console as a podcast player. It was more difficult that downloading podcasts to the iPod, since the PSP used a different format for its files, but PSP podcasts began popping up. In addition, podcasting made inroads to the wider audience of people without iPods, who simply saw podcasting as an extremely convenient way to receive news, music, and entertainment over the internet. Today, while the iPod podcast type still exists, fewer people subscribe to podcasts as a way of gaining portable media files they can listen to anywhere. Although that is still an attractive part of podcasting, it seems to be eclipsed by the ease with which podcasting has become a content delivery system. Now, podcasting has become tied up with the rising number of audio and video blogs, where blogging is done not by post, but through media files uploaded to the blog. These blogs, and podcasting in general, take advantage of the shrinking cost of broadband internet connections, and the rising number of people with high speed access to offer a picture of the internet rich with multimedia files. via http://hubpages.com/hub/The-History-of-Podcasting
From: www.attackr.com JeremyD In March, Apple released the much anticipated Apple TV, which allows you to stream media files from your computer and view them on your television (along with several other features). If you dont want to stream, you can also store the media files on the units hard drive. The current price of the unit (which can be seen here) is $300. If you find that price to be a little high, but still want to be able to view your videos or listen to your music, this article is for you. To demonstrate what Ive done, I filmed me setting it up. You watch the video if you want. Basically what I did was take a composite video cable. Im not exactly sure what kind of video cable it is (other than that its composite), so I cant really help you out on finding one. I can, however, offer you a picture of it. I simply plug one end of the cable into the headphones port on my iPod and the other end (which is composite) into my TV. Plugging the composite video into your TV can be a little confusing, because you cant plug it in like you normally do. This diagram (click that) helps explain what cables go where in your TV. Basically, the plugs on your TV will be in this order: Red, White, Yellow. Plug the cables in this order: Yellow, White, Red. If that makes no sense to you at all .definitely check out the diagram I made. Now youve got the cable set up. Woo hoo go you. Now you need to set your iPod up. Dont worry, this doesnt involve hacking your iPod and it wont void your warranty. From the main screen of your iPod, go to Video. From there, go to Video Settings. Scroll to TV Out and make it Ask instead of Off. Now scroll down to TV Signal and make sure its NTSC if you live in North America/Japan or PAL if you live anywhere else. If youre not sure what setting it should be, check this out. So after youve got your iPod set up, back out to Video menu and go pick a video to watch. I chose an episode of Invader Zim (as you may or may not have seen in the video I linked earlier in the article). Before the video starts, itll prompt you to select either TV On or TV Off. Obviously we want TV On. Now turn on your TV and go to wherever you go when you use your video games, VCR, etc. (usually theres an input or game button on your remote. Hit that.) You are now enjoying your ipod videos for free on your TV.

Software Downloads: 1。PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Suite 2。 iTunes
Step 1: Run the PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Suite. Part 1. Directly click “Open” button on right-hand side, and load the DVD or any video file you want to convert, and begin the play process.
Part 2. “Set Output File/Location” within this “Open” menu. Part 3: Setting the start point and stop point of the loaded DVD or video file with the range bar for conversion, or click “Set start and stop times for recording” in “Options” menu. Tips: In the interface, you can choose set the cropping and resolution of the output video, stretch or choose to auto-stretch the widescreen with aspect ratio control to your needs, and regulate the audio and video quality of output video as you like. You can also set the Video and Audio quality, and limit the estimated file size.
Step 2: Complete the output settings. Tips: Here comes the key step, because these options are of crucial importance for whether or not your encoded video will work on the iPod. So it’s to be discussed in great detail.
Choose Codec of video: Select MPEG-4(fast conversion, larger file size) or H.264(slow conversion, half the size) for the same quality as you like. Bitrate: The bitrate refers to the number of bits per second devoted to storing the final product; the higher the bitrate, the greater the audio resolution of the final product. Bitrate (kbps) needs to be below 768 for H.264, and below 2500 for MPEG-4. PQ DVD Software recommends using lower-than-maximum numbers here, just for safety. If you’re really picky about video quality, you’ll need to test some clips to determine what looks and works best here. Frame rate (fps): The frame rate is the number of frames or images that are projected or displayed per second. At least according to Apple’s technical specifications for the iPod, frame rate cannot exceed 30 fps regardless of whether you’re using MPEG-4 or H.264. In addition，you can also choose “Disable screensaver when recording” or “Shutdown the computer when the work is done”. Part 1: Click “More Options” to finish the “Output Setting”.
Part 2: You can also click the “Options” at the top to customize the “Output Settings” or “DVD Settings”, Here, you can also record your DVD/video file later.
Step3：Convert the input DVD or video. Part 1. Click “Record it” to start the conversion.
Part 2. Pause or stop the recording whenever you like by clicking “Pause/Stop”.
Part 3. In the “Open” field, you can also choose to “Batch Convert Video Files” for batch conversion.
Part4: Pause or stop any recording whenever you like by clicking “Pause/Stop”. Step4：When the conversion finishes, add the converted video file by clicking “Add File to Library” in iTunes’ File menu, and select this output video file to iPod’s playlist. Tips: When it finishes, add the converted file to your iTunes library by simply dragging it onto the iTunes icon in your Dock. Be aware that a video file that is accepted by iTunes is not always compatible with the iPod; this won’t become apparent until you synchronize the iPod. Then, you can enjoy the video on your iPod now. Simple and easy-to-use, isn’t it?
