Re-posting richc's comment, which was shown under the previous show even though it pertains to this one. -- Steve W.
Enjoyed your program this evening. I thought you might want to consider noting the sites your are discussing a little bit better for those who might be new to video blogging. For example, you reference names like "Amanda" or sites like "jetset" but many listeners might need a reminder where she is now and that you are talking jetsetshow.com. There are a few aspects to the conversation style podcast that leave less informed listeners with more questions than answers.
Personally speaking, I click in though talkshoe because I wanted to learn a little more about "how to" use videos online better. Nevertheless, listening I was able to grab a few morsels. Thanks. :-)
Great episode, guys. I’m bummed that I didn’t get a chance to respond when you called me out. Right now we're replicating an AppleTV experience using the Xbox 360, but honestly it’s more practical (i.e. time-saving) for me to watch them on the computer. The experience itself is completely different and the interface is still clumsy. Watching short-format videos on the TV is awkward for a lot of reasons.
I don’t know if you guys have heard about Hey!Watch -- it’s a server-side transcoding service that can pull in your feeds and redistribute videos in whatever format you choose. If only Blip could implement this.
A couple of other interesting projects...
--TVersity (streaming, on-the-fly transcoding for Windows)
--The Venice Project (a new internet TV distribution service)
Looking forward to next week.
Great Comments!
This blog post on TVersity has a lot of good info in it:

I've also got to try out Hey!Watch to see what it's all about.

Thanks!
Cool. We should cover The Venice Project next week. I have a key.
The Apple TV will play non-h.264 MPEG-4 compressed movies. From the Apple website:
"Video formats supported: H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): 640 by 480, 30 fps, LC version of Baseline Profile; 320 by 240, 30 fps, Baseline profile up to Level 1.3; 1280 by 720, 24 fps, Progressive Main Profile. MPEG-4: 640 by 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile"
