Compact disc sales continue to decline, but is the CD’s time really over? Ted talks about where things stand and how the CD will live on for some uses. If CDs are dying, what about movie delivery? Ted had some recent experiences with Ultraviolet and explains the goods and bads of that interaction. To wrap up, Ted and Chuck discuss the degree to which technology has migrated to a media delivery focus.

Rounding out the conversation are thoughts on how iCloud has measured up since its introduction and how Apple may evolve under Tim Cook’s leadership.

Adam and Tonya discuss the benefits of their new web site architecture for both their readers and their contributors, and how it fits into their expansion of all manner of distribution methods, including their very own version of podcasting. Why email is still cool, their interaction with their readers, their style of defensive writing, and why they’re still tweaking their writing style even after 1000 issues, and the challenges of grammar and idioms in a global environment are all part of the conversation.

Andy discusses “new media” and why it really isn’t that new, how the current political process is being affected by new media (or vice versa), and what being a journalist really means. How “Max Headroom” predicted the current state of journalism, why he feels teaching is part of his mission, and how the many new media options increase his reach are included in Andy’s comments, along with some advice for young people who are contemplating journalism as a career.

Macworld Senior Editor Christopher Breen has more iPods than anyone we know, making him the perfect person to provide wisdom on how to prepare and manage video for all of Apple’s video-capable devices. Whether you’re a new iPod or iPhone owner or have a long history with the devices, you’ll benefit from Chris’ thoughts on how to feed your mobile video habit. He discusses what programs to use to convert DVDs, capture and convert web video, record broadcast and cable television shows and even move content from your TiVo to your iPod. Since all that video (not to mention music) means that your iTunes library will swell to unprecedented proportions, Chris also provides some tips, techniques and strategies for how to store and manage your content using multiple libraries, multiple hard drives, smart playlists and more.

Macworld Expo

Did everyone have their Crazy Flakes this week? by The Macalope (where he designates Chris as the “Bouffant of Knowledge”)

Chris Breen’s notes: How to create video-only playlists

Smart playlists can really help you get just the programs you want. iTunes tries to help by giving you the option to choose X number of unwatched, most recently downloaded videos, but that’s no good if you want to create a smart playlist, particularly one for a device like an iPhone or iPod touch that has limited storage.

For this kind of device you want a playlist that places the first three unwatched episodes of a particular show on your iPhone and then deletes the watched one only to replace them with later episodes. That kind of playlist looks like:

  • Match All Of The Following Rules
  • Video Kind Is TV Show
  • Show Contains Name Of TV Show
  • Play Count Is 0
  • Season Is 3
  • Turn on the Limit option and set

Limit to 3 Items Selected By Album

Chris Breen’s notes: access your Series 2 TiVo from your web browser and download content from it.

1. Launch Safari and in its preferences enable Bonjour bookmarks.

2. Choose Bonjour bookmarks and your networked TiVos should appear. Select one and a Congrats screen appears.

3. Change HTTP to HTTPS and you’ll be taken to a screen that lists all the programs on your TiVo.

4. Dig through folders until you find the one you want and click Download.

5. You’ll be prompted for your name and password. Tivo is the user name and your Media Access Key is the password.

Christopher Breen discusses his role as the host and producer of both the Macworld Podcast and the Macworld Video podcasts, and how his video series, Breen’s Bungalow, figured in the mix. Mac User Groups had a good thing going with Breen’s Bungalow and Chris invites MUGs to do the same thing with his new productions. Then Chris and Chuck talk about the podcasting tools, techniques and tricks used in the production of their four different shows: Chris’ two Macworld podcasts, MacNotables and Chuck’s other show, MacVoices.
