Sorry I'm not an RSS expert, so I can't answer this.

Didn't you notice in Fiesch that I could watch the podcast with no problems?

I think the codec is fine and working, but I think that for such a small
window size, the filesize is much too big. So I would have preferred a
different codec, but I think this is not possible because it won't play on
iTunes/iPod.
