Let me be the first to say the intro was amazing

[dj-spuddy]

Downloading it now Ben! Hmmm it's .MP4 I see. Wait doesnt that mean I can play it on my 360? Lets see here...

[bicostp]

I like the intro. That's the leftover stock case from the Wii laptop, isn't it?

RE: new black 360

Hmm... if the new one really does have full high definition support, they would force Sony to either lower prices or do some big promotional campaign. AND, if the "older" core 360 drops to 200 dollars the Wii will be nothing more than a fanboy box because it's less powerful, more costly, and would only have Mario, Zelda, and the rest to keep it afloat.

Danger, Will Robinson!
SPOILER AHEAD! Only read if you *REALLY* want to. (highlight it.) Just don't get PO-ed at be juat because you read this instead of watching the podcast.

Ben, why didn't you use a DTV unit for the Commodore 64 laptop if the real hardware is such a pain in the butt? I assume you've used a C64 IDE adapter and a CompactFlash card for storage, so maybe it wouldn't work with the C64-OAC?

im pissed i can just listen to this and bicostp about the spoiler are there pics up or is it just in the vid?

[bicostp]

He mentions it. No pics or anything. What's in the spoiler is pretty much it.

"TLC: The motorcycles and deformity channel"

Who was that guy in The Evil Dead Shirt Ben? I'd so love to have an Evil Dead shirt! Very cool podcast! I'm all for the new video format, Even if it's harder work. Perhaps do what you suggested a few video podcasts now and then.

EDIT: To Sizik, iTunes works fine with it, I also reccomend VLC player, That should work with it! Beat you to it Bicostp! Even if you're post was more informative

[SIZIK]

I got a problem: I can't watch the podcast!!

When I open it, all I get is the sound. (the separate WMV intro works fine. I got the same Pac-man shirt as ben. )

P.S. I'm using RealPlayer

[bicostp]

You need something that can play MPEG-4 videos. (RealPlayer is a piece of garbage anyways.)

Media Player Classic (search)

VLC Media Player http://www.videolan.org/vlc

Apple QuickTime http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
(Make sure you get the version without iTunes if you don't need it.)

[SIZIK]

Thanks.

I am attempting to use PSP video 9 to convert the file, but so far the ride has been bumpy. Does this file need to be converted in order to play on a PSP, or can I simply rename it and place it on the stick to achieve playback goodness? These half-hour transcodes are starting to make just watching the file on my desktop an attractive proposition. I'll post back if I end up achieving codec nirvana.

No, I think PSP can play it.

[benol]

for the most part, it might as well have been audio, except for the Lost Planet and God of War reviews. otherwise, pretty good.

Yes you can, as that is exactly how I watched it.

That pretty much echoes our thoughts exactly. The parts that lend themselves to video worked pretty well, but otherwise you're just watching a couple of guys in a room talking. That's why we'll probably only do another one when there are some significant games to review, or something along the lines of the "Wii Hunt" occurs again. That would have been a fun one to do as a video podcast me'sa thinks.
