I checked out Ballad of Black Mesa a while ago. Totally cool- looks just like an iPod commercial. I'm also interested in Stage6. I don't like how YouTube kills the quality on some vids. I've found myself uploading a video, seeing that it looks terrible, taking it down, re-rendering, putting it back up, ETC, and it's a real pain in the butt. I'm going to make sure to check out Stage6. MachiniFeed is amazing. I'm humbled that you put my blog (which I haven't update in what... a couple months?) on there and it really give me incentive to get back to writing. Cheers! Great show Overman!

I've set up several Magpie and Planet aggregation sites in my time, but for some reason it never occurred to me to do one for the machinima community. I'm working my way through my (pretty darned extensive) list of machinima-related RSS feeds, and adding any that you're missing as suggestions. Great 'cast as usual - thanks for all your hard work.

Ahhh...I sure miss the overcast. Something about your podcast brings me into the rest of the machinima community in ways that the forums just don't do. I thank you for that. You know, I've avoided SL, but for your premiere, I'll be there. Hathead with an island sound irresistible. Funny you should be talking about encoding and streaming. I've been reading a ton of articles on the subject for projects I've been working on. I'll see if I can't leave some links in the Overcast forum. the QT "best" level of encoding is lossless, whereas every other setting before this compresses the video a bit. I've been using a couple other open source lossless video codecs and I've been impressed (the lagarith codec is very nice), but nothing has compared to QT. Thanks for the comments about "The Snow Witch". I think it's pretty swell, too. Michelle had better submit it this year or else....(teehee) Appreciate all your hard work on this podcast. Great fun.

My only frustration is with the volume being rendered too low. I've Googled for a fix and tried lots of things with the same results. I've always liked Quicktime. I'm going to play with it some more on my next project. I think the hardest part of making machinima is the final render/codec phase. I've wasted hours and thrown away huge unusable files trying to get something that will not fall apart when transfered to .flv. Thanks for the tips you mentioned. Great show! I don't do pod casts; however, listening to yours after hours is like catching a late night FM radio talk show. It's not live and I can't call in. ...but other than that...
