If you’re Recording videos with Wirecast on a Mac the formats that you can save to are QuickTime .mov, Flash .f4v and MPEG-4 .m4v. The Record to Disk option is great way to archive your content to disk. You can save the files for archiving or later playback from a Streaming Server.

The new version of QuickTime, v7.6.4, is not compatible with Wirecast for Windows. Telestream is working on resolving the issue but until it is fixed, you should not update to the new QuickTime.

When encoding for a Video Podcast keep in mind you’re encoding for a Web Server. Why? Video Podcast videos and audio files are technical downloadable streaming files. The downloading process mostly happens behind the scenes while you’re performing other tasks. Video Podcast files are great in that you can provide them at very high quality since you’re targeting iTunes, Video iPods and iPhones.
Now, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be using 2-Pass VBR or Multi-pass encoding when compressing your Video Podcast files. Many times because of time you can opt for 2-Pass VBR encoding since Multi-pass generally uses about 5-6 passes.
