I know it sounds like a sacrilege 
but wouldn't it be cool to have an iPod video format feed so we could subscribe to the shows on Channel 9 on iTunes and watch them on an iPod?.
Personally I use my iPod as my primary media device simply because of storage, I only have 2GB on my Dell Axim and that's not enough. I'm also lazy and prefer to have iTunes download all my stuff 
So, any onther lazy person like me think this is a good idea?
I mean it could be possible, currently the on10.net show is available for iTunes, but lately I have been having problems playing those videos on the iPod (but that's another thread...).
So.. who's with me?

Would be nice to have them for ipod but i only have the nano so i cant play videos, am waiting on the new ipod video to come berfore i upgrade again.
But if C9 vids were in an ipod format, then i will still take them, put linux on to my nano and watch away. A few podcasts would be cool also.

Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the video iPod have a 4:3 screen... and the C9 videos are in 4:3 ratio anyway. So it's simply a matter of converting them from WMV to MPEG, something that can be easily accomplished.
Just watch out for the dodgy converter apps out there, I personally recommend the converter built-in to Quicktime Pro or Autodesk's Cleaner XL. -

Yeah... so it would be very easy for Channel 9 to convert these videos before posting them and adding the iPod format video link to a different feed...
So Channel 9.... are you listening?

It's not stupid; It's advanced!
First, it's okay to have an iPod!
Second, I don't have an iPod anymore (Zen Vision, baby!
), but I think since so many people have iPods it just makes sense.
A wma or mp3 RSS fead for the videos would be nice too, because for most of them you don't even need to see what's going on. -

It's not that easy. First of all, now I'd need to do two formats, and upload them twice. Our uploading tool sucks. It takes quite a bit of time to upload videos. Plus, I just don't have the time to do extra stuff right now. They are working on it for us, though. On10.net is doing both formats and learning how to do it. -

Oh, question. Is it possible to convert WMA to MOV? If it is, then that annoys me, because there are a few MOV files that I want to put on my personal media player, but "OH NO! You can't convert mov files!!! Why would you ever want to do that! It's the format that is infallable!" *chough* yeah... it sorta erks me, just a little.

You don't do that manually do you? You guys must have automated the process by now ...

Well....I watch video and audio podcasts via iTune's podcast directory downloads every day, both in XP Pro and OSX systems...it can't be that difficult. Perhaps, someone at channel 9 should ping Leo LaPorte or another cross-platform savvy podcast producer to minimize the effort.
