I have had to delete the 'introduction to podcasting' file from the server because the file is too big. It is a real problem with podcast audio files, and one I must admit I haven't really thought too much about so far.
Now I have more time on my hands, I'll be looking into it to find a solution, and I'll probably revise the file and reduce its size too.
I'll revise the file and upload a smaller version of it ASAP

Aaron, I was in such a hurry to finish the file and upload it in time for the Blogstreams session, that I didn't really pay attention to the file size - it turns out that it was 41MB or so! I only have server space of 50MB, and my ISP sent me a letter asking me to upgrade or reduce the space I was using.
ReplyDeleteNow that the session is over, I'm going to take a look at the file and see what I can do to reduce the size . I'm also going to take a closer look at the postings on the Podcasters forum about hosting, etc to see what solutions other people have come up with. Ultimately, I think I'll need to have more server space too if I want to do some more podcasting.
can someone suggest the optimum file size for a podcast
ReplyDeleteNatasha, that's a bit like asking 'what's the best size for a piece of string?'
ReplyDeleteHowever, most podcasters think that for listening purposes, it's best to keep a podcast to under 20 minutes
