Managing Videos in Quick Blogcast
With Quick Blogcast®, you can create a video blog post to your Website, or add an existing video blog post. Video blog posts, or vlogs, are simply blog posts that consist of video. Many vlog posts combine video and text.
Your blog Website does not need to consist of any one type of post. With Quick Blogcast, you can have written blog posts, video blog posts, and podcasts, all posted on the same Website.
Often vlogs are video journals, but can consist of any content. Video blog posts are also called video podcasts, or vods (for video-on-demand). You can upload a video up to 100 MB in size.
Supported file types include:
- Windows Media Video (.wmv, .asf)
- QuickTime (.mov)
- VI
- MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4
- DV (in AVI containers only)
- .3gpp (mobile phones)
- FLV
