Quicktime Podcast Issues (File Name Restrictions)
« on: January 14, 2007, 11:04:41 am »

Quicktime for Windows is 'crippled' in that it can't handle long file names.  The current limit (as far as I can tell) is characters (including the period and the file name extension).

The default filename used by MC when saving the podcast is '[ymd] [title]', and this will cause many filenames to be 'too long' for Quicktime to handle.  I suggest that this be changed to '[name]' for the default, so the original filename from the author remains intact.  This will help prevent issues with third party tools (quicktime and other CODECS) that MC relies on.

I *KNOW* that I can change mine (and I already have), but it took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on.  This will prevent similar confusion for other/new users.
