How it works
Podcasting
is the latest development in the rapidly
growing field of portability. Podcasting
allows listeners or viewers to choose the exact
time they want to listen or view a program.
A podcast is a video or audio file that can be
automatically downloaded to your personal
computer and in turn transferred to an iPod
or other MP3 player. In order to do this, a
podcasting application is used to
"add" a podcast. The program
checks the site regularly and starts a
download whenever it finds a new MP3 or
video file.
The DV show is offerring downloadable MP3
audio podcasts and video podcasts of all its locally produced
programs. How do you get started?
What you do
The basic
requirements for podcasting are a computer,
podcasting software (see list below) and an
Internet connection (the higher the speed, the
better). To take your podcast with you, an iPod or
any MP3 player is also needed.
To begin, download and install podcasting software
onto your computer, (PC or Mac). Though every
application is different, there are generally
directions to "add" a podcast feed
(usually just as simple as copying and pasting the
podcast URL, found next to the icon, from the list
below into your podcasting application).
The next time you "Check for New Podcasts",
an MP3 or video file of your selected DV Show program will be on
your computer, and if your set up for it, on your
iPod as well.
Where to get the software
Before you can
begin podcasting, you will need to download and
install a podcasting application. There are
various software programs that can be used to
download and access podcasts. Some are free.
Others are free to download, but limit the number
of podcasts you can subscribe to. Still other
podcasting programs are available for a small fee.
