Clients for video podcasting
As Netzpolitik is reporting about the german Tagesschau having a video podcast, I was looking around for free video podcasting (or vlogging) clients.While with amarok, we have a great audio player supporting podcasts, the most common free video players don't have any support for feeds (xine, totem, kaffeine). vlc seems to have something in svn, but not for the current and the next version. I've once tried this, but failed to get it running.
After some googling around, kmplayer seems to be the solution. kmplayer can use rss-feeds from podcasts as playlists, supports several backends (mplayer, xine, gstreamer) and is probably worth having a closer look at it.

Do you know how to get h264 support in gentoo? I'd like to watch tuscany.podtravels.tv (see link) video podcast. In debian i managed to view h264 encoded movs with the nightlies build of vlc, but on the gentoo-pcc I couldn't emerge vlc with h264 support.
Depends on which player.
Latest vlc has h264-support, but to my experiences, I always had no sound (well, there was sound, but only crap).
I can play h264 nicely with latest xine or totem with gstreamer-ffmpeg. Another way is to build mplayer from cvs.

Hanno Böck asks which free clients are available for receiving and subscribing to video podcasts, videoblogs, vlogs, vodcasts or whatever you want to call them. I was asking myself the same question for a number of reasons lately, and here's what I have
