MPEG-2 and Podcast Producer 2

Podcast Producer Forums - Fri, Nov 13, 2009 12:01am GMT

Podcast Producer's lack of support for all of apples own Quicktime components, specifically MPEG-2, and the ability to use third party components has been a heartbreaking problem. I've hope that Podcast Producer 2 in Snow Leopard may have greater support for other Quicktime components. Has anyone seen information indicating this? Or perhaps have a Snow Leopard dev seed they've been playing with and could verify? Right now I'm hacking a solution using 3rd party encoding software (mencoder, MP4Box) and ending up using virtually none of podcast producers actual fuctions besides submitting a file to a workflow.

Re: Podcast Producer versus QT Broadcaster

I saw this and have to respond. For events, we have two components. If the customer desires, we can broadcast the event live (e.g. QTSS, Real, Windows Media). At the same time, we record, then edit (maybe), and then publish the 'archived' version of the program ( for which we can use PcP.

Hurray! Radio silence is broken. The setup is much easier, in fact there's a quick setup option that turns on all the required services, configures them and adds the correct users. The workflow editor (podcast composer) is fantastic, there are many options inside. Apple really listened to feedback on this. There are the standard encoders for iPhone, AppleTV and Desktop, and you can add your own with Compressor. You can use Xgrid in the normal way, or use Qmaster and Compressor for processing workflows. The lastest documentation is here http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html There are many changes in this version, so it would be prudent to wait a while to see if there are any bugs to be fixed in the first version of PcP2. Start up a different server as a test, and cut over to it when you're happy it works as well as PcP1.

I imagine that the setup of it won't change, since the hardest part of it is setting up xgrid. I'm pretty psyched about the gui editor. The learning curve won't be as high when I'm trying to teach others to make workflows. I hope that there is a tool to edit the encoding schemes built-in.

Thanks for your kind words about the site. It's interesting how it has grown in such a short time, a testament to everyone who's contributed here. Plone was a good choice for a CMS, mainly for the in-browser tools you get for editing longer documents. (If you change your preferences to use "FCK Editor" it's much more functional). I also didn't want a PHP-based site that needed to have security updates every week. I do need to update the plone version here, and possibly the forum software. Over the last year we've found a couple of anomalies with it that could be better - whitespace in the posts are converted to &nbsp's which is a bit cooky, but looks OK in the RSS feeds. It would be nice if there was some way to be notified by email when a new post is made on a thread you started - can't see a way to do that in Plone. My initial reason for starting the site was to have an easily searchable archive for everything technical about PcP. Our team at ANU are implementing a large system, and this inevitably means getting much deeper into the product than regular sources allow. Of course, Apple's mailing list and support forum are also good sources if you're tracking some crazy error message or need a wider exposure to your problem. Yes, there's lots of traps with conflicting documentation with Plone. The products area used to have a feature to limit search results for, say, v3 compatible products only. This seems to be gone now, so you need to specifically look for v3 compatibility when assessing a product to add to your site. The only other advice on setting up a plone site is to do one product at a time, and test the functionality well. If you go crazy adding lots of products and it breaks, you just have to start again. Figuring out how to fix something under the hood in plone is very hard and usually a waste of time. Stick with popular, recent, well-supported products for your plone site. The plone-users mailing list is also a great resource for this work, many friendly helpful people there. George

Re: 10.5.4 Xgrid Failure

Just got this off the mailing list and it worked great. Problem solved!! "Not sure this will help but it did help me with the same problem as yours, delete the pcastserverd.plist on the shared file system and cp a copy from /Library/Preferences/com.apple.pcastserverd.plist back to the shared file system. Restart Podcast Producer. "

Custom Essay

Podcast Producer Forums - Wed, Nov 11, 2009 11:27am GMT

Good students are always aiming at high grades for their custom essay at school, college or university. With the increasing speed of development all over the world, every student is required to join the race of progress with the same pace. Teachers, instructors and lecturers put great burden of modernism and swiftness on students by assigning them various academic tasks such as essays, term papers, research papers, stories, theses and other educational activities, which are supposed to be submitted in a very short and unmanageable period of time. These essays must be of high quality and non-plagiarized. Such situation generates a number of difficulties in students' life when writing an essay. Sometimes big tasks are expected to be completed within a very close deadline.
