  Church Webs  Video Podcasting
 
Video Podcasting:


Video Podcast: (sometimes shortened to vidcast or vodcast) is a term used for the online delivery of video on demand video clip content via Atom or RSS enclosures. The term is an evolution specialized for video, coming from the generally audio-based podcast and referring to the distribution of video where the RSS feed is used as a non-linear TV channel to which consumers can subscribe using a PC.

How to put a Video Podcast on your website:

  1. Produce the video.
     

  2. Upload it to a page on your website or upload it to a free service like Church Webs www.jesusclips.com. You could also use www.youtube.com or any video share service. Once you post your content online, simply copy and paste the embed code given by JesusClips, YouTube, Google Video, etc., or the link to your hosted file, and paste that in the below podcast feed creator.
     

  3. Go to http://www.podcastblaster.com/podcast-feed/ and create your podcast feed.
     

  4. Create a webpage for you feed. Remember to name it something like feed.xml
    Example: http://jesusclips.com/vtfeed.xml 
    All that you put on this page is the code your get from the above created podcast feed. No html code.
     

  5. Submit your RSS feed to iTunes and a host of other video podcasting services. Using a free feed service like FeedBurner can help you maximize your usage of links, tags, and images in iTunes so your content is easily searchable. Every time you post a new video, FeedBurner updates your RSS feed and alerts the distribution channels and your subscribers of your new content.
