channelflip: Shows are up!

January 30 2008 | WilHarris

Hey folks,

Just to let you know that the new shows for today are up in the Flash player above, as well as on the regular iTunes and RSS feeds.

As part of the technical changes I mentioned on Monday, we’ve changed the format of the iTunes download - rather than being an H.264 MP4 as it was, it is now an MPEG4 .mov.

This should be absolutely transparent to everyone in terms of actually playing the file in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone, but if you have any problems, do let me know (wil at channelflip.com).

Cheers, Wil

Hi guys,
Still loving the shows. But why the change to .mov? It doesn’t agree with my iTunes very well and the videos now seem to be covered in artefacts. On another note I’d rather the video on the sites front page didn’t autoplay, call it personal preference but that’s how I roll.
Anyway, enough of the gripes, cheers for all the channel flip goodness!

Hi Will,

Firstly channelflip.com rocks with playdigital and unwired my favourites.

Anyway just to inform you and I’m not sure if anyone else has the same problem that since the changed format from H.264 MP4 to MPEG4 .mov I’m unable to see the podcasts on my 80Gig ipod. I can play the podcasts on itunes and I can transfer the podcasts to the ipod but the podcasts do not appear on my ipod.

If possible can you please shed any light on to why I’m unable to see the podcasts on my ipod?

Again fantastic podcasts and keep up the excellent work and thank you for your time.

With Kind Regards

Have to agree the new .mov artifacting looks horrible, and makes Katharine look like one of those Reptilian conspiracy videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF6vK1w38nk).
I can understand the move to make the smaller file sizes for the main itunes feed, but it would be great if there could be an alternate Hi-def feed.

Jamez, I am totally a reptilian conspiracy… .mov reveals my true nature!

Love the shows you guy’s.
Up until 3 weeks ago I didn’t even knew you guy’s existed.
Keep it up!

Rather innocent question to Katharine: are you still single?
Regards,
Felis

Hi Mario from Italy here. Just to say that I really like your shows…and hope that one day you can launch an Italian version of your website.
