Very cool, Scott. I wondered what was up with the lack of cars. Or the daring-doo of the pedestrians :-)

Thanks for the cool vidcasts, they're a wonderful insight into life over there.

8-Bit Operators-Performed On Vintage 8-Bit Video Game Systems 2007

I thought you might be interested in this.

Hey Scott

I'm subscribed to the combined feed and for some reason the last 3 episodes of the video blog are not copying to my iPOD. I'm on the manually manage iPOD mode but the podcasts should still automatically copy. Any ideas ?

Dale: Thanks for the comments. A number of boulevards are closed to automobile traffic on weekends in busy shopping areas. It really changes the feel of the place from the rest of the week.

Christopher: Thanks for the tip on the 8-Bit Operators. It is interesting to hear the Kraftwerk tunes reworked in such ways.

Melissa: Sorry about that. I failed to announce that I've used a different compression scheme on the recent episodes. I'm shooting for better resolution on a computer display at the expense of being compatible with iPods. San tells me that iTunes will allow you to convert these videos (or others) to a format the iPod will load. Eventually, I intend to make a separate feed just for iPods and other portables. I don't know how soon it will be though.

Quicktime Pro will allow you to convert video files like the one above, as will a great (and free) third-party app called "iSquint". Check this out at http://www.isquint.org/

Just download the video to your desktop or Movies folder, fire-up iSquint, drag the file into it, then hit the convert button. You can specify to have iSquint add the converted file into iTunes, where you can then move it over to your iPod.

Good luck.
