Answer: Patrick is married, but Robert is single and on the prowl. Send your proposals, photos, and Hot or Not ratings to dl.tv@ziffdavis.com.
Glide Effortless wants to make sharing on the web easier. Getting consumers to adopt the website might be a little harder...
Viewer Question: How is it that the 320x240 video you release for the iPod is bigger than the 480x360 H.264 file?
Answer: Ask Apple. We've been using the iPod codec settings in Quicktime. (We're rolling our own this week... wish us luck!)
Viewer Question: Brian asks (along with about 490 other viewers), "Why don't you have a widescreen version of the show?"
Answer: well, we've only got one widescreen camera right now, but soon, soon you'll be able to see the glorious walls to the left of Patrick and Robert. Must see IPTV! In Widescreen. (Maybe we should leave the panoramic vistas to old John Ford movies...)
And, as always, a heaping helping of even move of your viewer questions!

I think theora files are great and I will really enjoy having DLT.TV on that format.
I also think a lot of people will be fine with this file format, it has no patent restrictions and we can confortably watch this shows.

Patricks : "the reasons that we can only guess" are Battery power. H.264 makes Broadcom decoder in iPOD take more juice from battery.
BTW: H.264 still looks better than wmv, and is considerably smaller at last.

It would be nice to see a format that will play on dvd players. I personally like ksvcd because you can fit a lot of surprisingly decent quality video on a 650 mb disc. Plus it's fairly quick and easy to patch and convert to dvd (dvd patcher and tmpgenc dvd author).

Not sure if it was in this show, but not all the new NBC shows offered on itunes are $1.99 per show. Some Conan shows are $9.99 and very short clips from Tonite show & Conan cost $1.99.
