Video Podcasts Supported in iTunes 5
Wednesday, September 14th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Apple Computer has quietly added support for video podcasts in iTunes 5, the latest version of the software. The Wall Street Journal reported the feature Thursday, and noted that the ability to include links to videos to the Podcast Directory was added earlier this year. In iTunes 5, however, iTunes users can actually subscribe to and access those video podcasts.
One such example is City Magazine TV, a New York-based blog that has added short video clips to its repertoire. Clicking on one of the video episodes results in a download like any other podcast, stored in the podcast listings in iTunes. Clicking on that episode within iTunes opens up a separate window that plays the video.
According to the WSJ article, and our own searches, the few video podcasts that are currently available trend towards the amateur side. As it did with audio podcasts, however, Apple's support for the medium could propel the concept to legitimacy more swiftly than it would have otherwise.
This news also begs the obvious question of whether a video iPod could be far behind. Apple has so far not announced such a device, but many industry analysts have been predicting its appearance for some time.
