I think this is a good issue to decide this on. If you
put a video feed created by FLOSS tools into iTunes
then you are likely to get a lot of views for your
video files. Undercurrents.org are looking at about
300,000 per episode for their recent ones. 

If you don't then you are looking at using YouTube to
get a similar amount of viewers. 

So  you could say it's one way of biting the biscuit
without getting burned. 

But what we are really talking about here is the
support for the itunes tags in the feed specification.


And actually the alternative Media RSS is maintained
by Yahoo, which may soon be owned by MS, so that
alternative isn't looking very good either. Unless you
want to extend an Atom spec, which is what we are
doing for the Transmission standard. 

I'm working on a wiki page about similar issues here.

Any feedback is gratefully received, I know it's
looking a bit barren at the moment. But there is a lot
of information if you follow the links. 

All the best,
Mick.
