Podcasting Audio and Video : Basics

 

Most of the basics about Podcasting Audio and Video, mainly theoretical in nature, has been discussed in our article on Podcast and Podcasting. There is nothing going to change as far definitions and basic technology goes. Podcast is made up of the trademarked word iPod from Apple and Broadcast.

 

Podcasting Audio and Video : The Production Part

 

This part, so far goes, has never been discussed in our website. But as the things are really about high quality and video production, except mentioning the softwares, we really have not much to offer you. Each particular episode of your podcast show is usually an audio file, typically this is a .mp3 file. For Video Podcasts, .mp4, .m4v, and .mov video formats are allowed. The maximum video size supported by each device is/are :

1. iPhone 4, iPhone 4s: 960×640
2. iPod touch, iPhone 5: 1136×640
3. iPad 2, iPad mini: 1024×768
4. Apple TV: 1920×1080
5. iPad with Retina display: 2048×1536

So, at minimum your videos should of 960×640 resolution. For Mac, practically you will need no extra software, Garageband is quite good software itself. For Windows, possibly Sony Sound Forge is the best solution for better quality audio recordings. We can download our own videos from YouTube – so there are already made things if you are a blogger with minimum professional thought!

From technical points obviously, subdomain will offer more flexibility. This part we have wrote in Installing Podcast Generator on Rackspace Cloud Sites guide. There are more free good web softwares now; like :

We have not checked all the softwares.
