iPod friendly versions of Dvorak's troll confession

Dave Winer managed to stir up a storm by capturing a video of John

Dvorak confessing how he trolls Mac users for extra pageviews.

Although Dave posted the video in QuickTime format using open codecs

(JPEG video and 8-bit uncompressed audio), which should mollify Mark

Pilgrim somewhat, the iPod Video won't play this. I converted it using

the handy iSquint tool into standard mpeg-4 files. I present 3

alternatives for you:

1. iPod compatible MPEG-4 version, using H264 codec - requires

QuickTime 7, iTunes 6 or VLC 0.84

2. iPod compatible MPEG-4 version, using the previous MPEG4 codec -

works in QuickTime 6 or earlier iTunes

3. Dave's compatible MOV version via BitTorrent - should play back to

QuickTime 1.0 once you have downloaded it

Those of you playing close attention will notice I am using markup

based on the microformat brainstorming for expressing alternative

versions of the same file. As this uses rel-enclosure, it will be

picked up by Mark's Universal Feed Parser, and also by FeedBurner's

version of my blog feed.
