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 :-)

Drupal 6 podcasting: best modules?
Hey all,
I notice that the audio module is still unstable on D6 and hasn't had a release since May. Views podcast is still dev for 5x.
So what are you folks using for audio podcasting in D6 sites? I've seen a discussion or two that were from back in the D5 days.

Drupal Media Projects, Tasks and Initiatives
The following are ongoing and/or proposed projects pertaining to Drupal media. Many of these have shared needs for features, documentation, and qualified talent to do the much needed work.
Drupal products, distributions, and installation profiles
Review of Drupal Multimedia by Aaron Winborn, Packt Publishing
Drupal is a powerful tool for building amazingly scalable websites quickly and simply. The use of multimedia in Drupal has posed challenges to many users and developers of all abilities. Drupal Multimedia addresses the main questions regarding how to implement video, image, and audio content in a way that is elegant for the developer, as well as the end user. The language of the book is straight to the point, and provides a framework to practice building an assortment of multimedia sites using a variety of modules in the context of test or example sites.
Drupal Media Sessions
An ongoing series of lessons, sessions, and workshops on Drupal media and arts.
Goals and Objectives
- Showcase how producers and media organizations are leveraging Drupal.
- Bridge the gap between the geek world and the real world (who mostly don't know the world beyond MySpace).
- Demonstrate how artists can leverage new technologies and reach an audience without having to compromise their art.
- Gain a more comprehensive understanding of the modules available and the ways they are being used
- See how producers and media organizations are leveraging Drupal.
Solution for media upload and distribution
Objective
Looking to identify the best web based solution (Drupal or third party) that would allow a content creator to upload and distribute media (video, audio, photos, ...for starters) to external sites and services.
Features
These would vary depending on the specific needs. Could be a combo of Drupal modules, third-party solutions or both.
Upload/ingestion
- Web based service that can embed on any web page

Flashmeeting/Video Bridge
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?

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?
