19. The rest of the story…
Photo Story will not save in a
format that can be played on an
iPod. So if you want to
ever have it available
as a podcast it must be
converted to an mp4
file. Soooo…
20. Convert
There are free programs that convert files
and there are converters online. Use one
of the online options to convert your wmv
file to an mp4 file.
http://media-convert.com/ or http://zamzar.com/
or http://online.movavi.com/
or http://www.mediaconverter.org/
If you have trouble converting directly
from an wmv to an mp4, convert to an avi
and then convert the avi to an mp4 file.
21. RSS - Podcasting
If you want folks to be able to
subscribe to your podcasts,
upload to your mp4 to a
PodBean account.
