Apple has published an article that shows how to export a movie from iMovie HD to iPod.

Apple’s new video iPods have turned out to be a huge hit. But if you have bought one, it’s likely that you’ve quickly found that many of the things that you’d like to watch on your iPod aren’t available. You may also own DVDs and other digital videos that you’d like to watch on your iPod, but Apple doesn’t provide an easy way to do this.

No - video podcasts can be viewed online, burned to DVD and viewed on a television, downloaded to a portable media player, including but not limited to the video iPod, viewed on a Playstation Portable, viewed on some mobile phones, and used in many other ways.

Definition: A video podcast is a collection of digital videos that are enclosed in a podcast newsfeed to make it easy for users to subscribe and receive each episode.

The podcast feed is an RSS 2.0 newsfeed, with enclosures. Each enclosure references an individual episode of the video podcast, and provides the URL of the episode’s digital file.

The video podcast feed URL can be added to a podcast client, and the client should automatically download new episodes as they are published. The videos can then be watched on a computer or copied to other media or devices to be viewed.

The most popular video podcast platform is currently the Apple video iPod. However, many other devices are capable of playing video podcasts.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival has announced they will be the first domestic film festival to offer video podcasts of their annual event.

A donation of goods and services from D-PRGRM.COM will allow the proceedings of a number of the Festival’s highly attended and entertaining events to be available as both audio and video podcasts to the general public.

“Each year we strive to raise the bar for our Festival. We show incredible films and host someof the most talented people in the entertainment industry. Now, through these podcasts, I’m proud that we can reach an even wider audience,” Festival Director Roger Durling said.
