If anyone's been having problems syncing the last two 'Out of Visions' to their iPod, with luck the problem has been solved - I changed the format to AAC but good old QuickTime Pro was marking the files as .mp4 with an internal identifier as a Video file. And recent versions of iTunes helpfully see this and - not so helpfully - won't sync a Video file to what they see as a non-Video iPod (iPod nano, etc).
I've changed the files to genuine audio only (.m4a) versions which should sail through. If you've been listening on your macs, the problem won't have been visible, I mean audible.
You -may- have force a resync in iTunes by deleting the previous download - but I'm sure you'll find it worth the effort.
Thanks to Quentin for pointing me to this - please email me if there are further glitches. I'll go back to mp3 if necessary!

'Out of Vision' podcast 5 now up
'The view from Cotham Hill' - Phil talks to Gina Fucci and George Panayiatou of Bristol post-production house 'Films @ 59'.
The company's been in business for some 18 years, running offline and online edit suites, grading, finishing, dubbing - and was the first outside the broadcasters themselves to install HD equipment. (Back in the 1990's).
So Gina and George are in a very good position to comment on the state of the industry, and the technical challenges ahead for all of us. Not just FCP editors.

RTS meeting Tuesday 12th - Flat screen TVs
Word has just reached me of an RTS Bristol Centre meeting (open to members and guests) this coming Tuesday, 12th June, at BBC Bristol. Entrance, as ever, through the tradesmen's door at the back. Meeting starts at 730pm, with an AGM for RTS members at 715pm.
Richard Salmon, who's one of BBC R&D's gurus, is looking at the new flat panel TV technologies on the horizon for domestic and professional production environments.
Email phil (philament@gmail.com) if you'd like to come - I'll be there and can invite non RTS members in.
