RW052 – Indepth Look at the Plist

This is a 32 minute cast that details the plist found in the Rapidweaver Theme Contents.

Each piece from top to bottom is covered. What they mean and what they do.

We have two casts on the plist. One, previously recorded, is more of an overview with details on the common parts most Rapidweaver users my ever see our alter. This second cast is a down and dirty (and I mean dirty!) look into this often confusing document. Sit down, strap in, and hold on as we unearth the deep magic of the Rapidweaver plist. 

Even I get a bit tired at the end and stumble over words a bit. I recover and get through this longer cast.

Whew, said it, did it, done, enjoy!

VideoMonkey videos wait & download before playing

Since we started talking about and using VideoMonkey in some screencasts , we started to hear of problems of video playback in the player of your choice. Common scenario you have created the movie, encoded with VideoMokey to (h264) AppleTV or iPhone format but the whole video has trouble playing in the flash player or you have to wait to download before playing in the flash player.

This is due to a problem with the ‘moov’ atom at the end of the video file ,Renaun Erickson wrote this small AIR app that moves the atom to the start of the file so it can be played out as soon as the player has buffered enough data.http://renaun.com/air/QTIndexSwapper.air

We have notified the developers at VideoMonkey about this, as visualhub did not do this ;)
Hope this has been of help to you

RW051 – Pluskit, Payloom & mp3 Stacks

members show: in this short screencast I show you some of the the pluskit magic you may have seen during the screencasts on mp3 and Flowplayer stacks and how to get these inside and played with the PayLoom pages. Really nice to have audio or video playing especially if you are following the ‘How to build a digital download store’ screencast too
