Quick Notes Before First Commentary Listing
We'll be posting the first commentary submission either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. In advance of that there are a few quick things work mentioning, because there no doubt will be some kinks to work out along the early going here.
First off, the podcast-enabled RSS feed will be somewhat intermittently useful, since many of the people who submit commentaries for listing here will be using various file-hosting services which don't permit direct linking to the mp3s in question.
For the podcast-enabled RSS feed to function properly, it needs to have direct links to mp3 files, not links to html pages from which people can then download the audio. So some material as it gets listed here won't be podcast-ready in that RSS feed.
This situation is not likely to change any time in the near future, until and unless we can assess the cost/benefit of finding an mp3-hosting solution specifically for this site, or until and unless we have the bandwidth to allow us to just host the mp3s directly on this server.
Secondly, a quick tip on synchronization issues. Now and then, you might notice that an audio commentary seems to have gotten ahead of the DVD, or the other way around.
If the commentary is ahead of the DVD, pause the commentary for however many seconds it seems to be out of sync, and then un-pause it. If the DVD is ahead of the commentary, pause the DVD for however many seconds it seems to be out of sync, then un-pause it.
All of that said, look forward to the first commentary listing at some point within the next twenty-four hours.
