Podcasting

Welcome!
There are some tools in Drupal that made available podcasting, which are very good indded, but as everything can be even better, I thought that would be good to have a special place to share thoughts, ideas, questions, tips and general information about podcasting using Drupal.
There is a video group already, but podcasting is more than video, it includes audio, and there´s no audio group :-)

I've explored with some people the idea of creating a "Video bridge" with open source buildign blocks http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge

Probably the best working example of what I would like to do is at http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/

I am right now assessing how to incorporate this into Drupal. Some open questions:

Whether to use Adobe Flash Server, or extend some other open libraries?

Is anyone else already working on this?

What would you like to see?

Last week I published this post where I outlined the modules I used when building my last podcasting site... It might be useful to someone here...

Recommended modules for Podcasting

Greetings from Texas!
I've been using Drupal to build sites for a couple of years, but, have never incorporated podcasting. I now have a need to build a site to host the business podcast of a long term customer. I'd like to leverage the experience of my fellow Drupaler's to climb the learning curve rapidly.

  • What are the best modules to use for podcasting? Why?
  • What are best practices (tips/tricks/traps) for Drupal podcasting?
  • When should I roll-my-own using CCK/Views?

TIA, David

Optimal Format for audio module.

I've been trying to setup a drupal based podcast site for a friend of mine's show for a while now.
I've recently figured out that the method of concatenation of the different segments doesn't produce a clean mp3.

Since I now have to adjust my scripts, I was wondering what the optimal encoding settings that the audio module (and the flash players ) prefer using lame.

I think I remember that I saw that the flash players can only handle 44khz mp3s? is that right?


Youtube-like, with flash transcoding

Hello,

I wrote a module derived from the drupal Video module to build a Youtube-like platform.
The site can be seen at http://www.kaouenn.net

Features:
- Creative commons licenses support
- auto transcoding to flash flv (with ffmpeg), with load balancing support (transcoding can be done outside the web server). Video formats supported include mpeg, realmedia, wmv... In fact the ffmpeg supported formats
- support video and audio only

The transcoding part is done with shell scripts updating the drupal DB through the XMLRPC interface.

Wich Podcasting Feature would you add to a TO-DO list?
