Vodcasting

What is Vodcasting?

Vodcasting is the distribution of video files over the internet i.e. the delivery of on-demand video content. Vodcasting is similar to Podcasting except instead of audio on demand its video content on demand. It allows you to 'subscribe' to a series of interviews or presentations and have each new instalment sent to your computer automatically.

Vodcasts can be viewed on your computer using standard software such as Windows MediaPlayer and Apple Quicktime or you can save the video to your portable video player device such as the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP), Apple iPod or MP4 player to watch it whenever and wherever you want. To do this, you will need an internet connection and some vodcast software. Each time a new instalment becomes available, your software will automatically download it.
