HI, all!Please help me set up my video podcast on iTunes. i really need it to be live by 10-31!Here's my site: mypodmonster.comI have the file saved in the "graphics" folder on this server. Please let me know if there's a better place to put it. (So, if it was a JPEG, I'd call to it at src="graphics/filename.jpg")The file is called :Gormak-iPod Video.m4vI'm wondering if the filename will be problematic. Should I re-name the file or store it in a different place?Please help... I'm hung up on the XML. Here it is, so far:

Okay, I changed that file name and added a few more things to the XML. It's below. Still could really use some help with this... Fir instance, I don't know what to put in the "length" field in the enclosure tag... And some other stuff that I'm sure is probably wrong...Thanks.

I think if the file is a JPEG file, it should use the jpg extension for the sake of IE. What's m4v standing for anyway?And what exactly is the problem with the XML?
