The television will be Revolutionised! - first coding sprint

[Andre Garzia]

Some years ago, I used Rev to code our chromakey based character  
generator for our TV show... it works fine!!! :P

If you're trying to build things for TV I think you should look into  
Trevors Quicktime External which can do some nice tricks with Videos.  
Also if you fell confortable with AppleScript you can then script  
Quartz Composer thus creating a nice presentation full of bells and  
whistles.

beware that you'll not be able to re-encode the vlog feeds in  
realtime, I don't know what kind of video processing app you're  
building, if you're aiming at TV Broadcasting, then you don't need H. 
264. IF you deliver on the web, well, then you don't need realtime =)

good luck


cheers

PS: Ken Ray XML Library makes a good job parsing RSS Feeds, beware of  
spec war, there are at least 3 RSS specs out there in the wild, also  
podcast is not standard yet, videocast is also not a standard... also  
there are ATOM feeds with video links and audio links... irgh!
