Vodcasts have come to Channel 4. A Vodcast is what we’re calling the video version of a Podcast.
Vodcasts allow you to subscribe to video programmes. The video is delivered to your computer using the same reader software you would use to subscribe to Podcasts.
You can then watch your Vodcast straight from your PC, or download them to your portable media player.
Subscribing to a Vodcast is very simple
1. Select and install your reader software (see below for a list of our favourite readers).
2. Click on
and then copy the URL into your newly-installed reader.
3. When a new show goes out it will show up in your reader. You can either play it on your computer or download it onto your portable media player.
NB: Make sure you select the correct video format. We offer 2 different video formats, ‘MP4’ and ‘WMV’ -
see the right hand column of this page. Both should play on your computer but certain portable media players and mobile phones may only play one or the other.
Please check with the manufacturer of your device. As a rule of thumb ‘MP4’ is good for iPods/Macs. ‘WMV’ is good for Windows.
