Need help setting up a video Podcast...
« on: March 21, 2007, 09:39:40 am »

I may not have had enough coffee at breakfat this morning, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to configure this video podcast. (BTW, this is the first Podcast I try to setup... ;-))

http://www.canada.com/globaltv/national/podcast/index.html

If I click on the "Subscribe to video podcast directly through iTunes" icon, Vista tells me asks me if it's OK for this Web content to fire up MC12.exe. I click OK and then nothing happens. (I don't have iTunes installed).

I then tried setting up a new Podcast from within MC12, copied the URL "itpc://www.canada.com/globaltv/national/podcastbeta/vodcast.xml" into the Feed URL field, and MC tells me there are no Podcasts...

Tried removing the "iptc://" from the URL, still nothing.

Yet, I can download the video Podcast manually and play it in MC, so it's there somewhere :-)...

I consulted the Help file, did a search in Interact, but could not find anything...

Thanks in advance.

The feed URL should be this:
http://www.canada.com/globaltv/national/podcastbeta/vodcast.xml

It shows three video files, but MC won't play them.  I'm trying to download first and they're big.  134MB.

It works once you download it, but you have to change the filename (Quicktime has a 64 character limit).
