Ted Talks
October 8th, 2008
So, most of the TED talks work just fine when served by my dlna server* and played on the Xbox360. But some don’t.
I don’t know why they don’t work, exactly. When checking the details of their codec, they look suspiciously… identical to movies that work just fine. The next step is transcoding them in to a known good format, and standardizing on that. Unfortunately, there are so very many of them.
I’m still trying to find a good way to download all of them. The RSS feed provides links to all of the updated feeds, but it doesn’t always provide a link to the HD downloadable file - the kind of file that looks best on my home entertainment setup. There are so many to grab, too. I might need a better download manager. Or I might want to consider just watching the talks on the TED website. Huh.

My friend Garrett gave a TED talk this time around. That’s weird.
