The latest announcement about Vidgle is continuing to spread the excitement of Jenthony’s newest product, Vidgle. On Sunday, Anthony announced that users of the iPhone and iPod Touch will be able to watch Vidgle videos right through the device’s web-browser so users don’t have to sync the podcast feed on the user’s computer. “This was made possible because of our second video file, which will be a M4V file, along with the FLV file for basic usage.” iPhone and Touch users may be aware that Flash is not supported in the device’s Safari browser, however a Quicktime object will be placed in the page containing the video so that users will be able to watch the videos on the go. “Our original plan was that users, including iPhone and Touch users, will need to sync our podcast feed to their computer, obviously now that has changed.”
Anthony has also announced that the podcast feed file type will be M4V, which has been popular by podcasters so that podcasts can work on iPods and AppleTVs. The video resolution is continuing to be at EDTV widescreen level at 854×480 pixels. The site is continuing to be structured, Anthony added the message board launch will be February 21.
The board of Jenthony Enterprises, Inc. does not find Anthony’s vidgle.com plan a good idea during Thursday’s meeting. The meeting was the first meeting about the launch for the website. “They were scared of the tagline/slogan of the site, ‘watch us anytime, anywhere,’” Anthony said after the meeting. “At first, the board thought the slogan was for a site about a Big Brother webcast of my life, which of course is not.”
The second tough thing was about money, “will Vidgle bring in money.” Anthony’s response was simple, “we need the fan-base and much hits as possible, that’s whats causing a failure at WRAJ Internet Radio.” Anthony added “we need the site to be in the open and marketed well, if not, the site will go no where.”
Another problem was the confusion that Anthony is trying to say through out his plan, “it was hard to write and speak this plan.” His simple saying is that the site will contain series of different shows.
What convinced the board to get the site going is with the members who are interested to join the website upon startup. There are over 50 people interested to be part of the website.
Anthony added “this site is already passed, because it is something I’m willing to dedicate and so are the many people who are willing to join the crew.” There will be a final discussion on Monday of the budget proposel.
On the Afternoon Show Friday, Anthony announced to his audience the plans for Vidgle.com. Vidgle is just going to be an opposite of WRAJ Internet Radio, there is going to be collection of videos by the staff of the site and partnered production companies. The videos are going to be high quality and videos are able to be downloaded to be uploaded to a user’s iPod, DVD, AppleTV, or other entertainment systems. The videos are going to be recorded at an HDTV level and will be down-converted to an EDTV level The video There will also be a RSS feed of the videos so users will be able to retrieve the video automatically without visiting the site via a media-RSS reader, such as iTunes. “This will save bandwidth as well,” said Anthony Zaragoza. “Users will be able to download the video once on their computer instead downloading it multiple times on the website.” Anthony added that the site’s structure is so advanced, that it can be easily accessible for the future of the internet with accessibility to future hardware and software.
Anthony also announced shows that will be on the new site. One is his “Behind the Mic,” which he has been planning for 4 years. Originally, his plan years ago was to be a reality show of WRAJ Internet Radio but instead replaced it as a sitcom. There will also be newscasts such as AZ Tech Talk, The Con-Goer, and sports. There is also going to be movies, in which Anthony announced there is going to be 5 movies by the end of 2008.
Anthony also added there is a team already established with nearly 20 people.
Anthony Zaragoza is planning to reveal plans of his new website development, vidgle.com. Just like the opposite of wrajradio.com, Vidgle (Vid - Gule) will have a library of video productions made by the site or production companies that supplies the video to Vidgle. Anthony also announced that if there is enough content, by 2010 or 2011, Vidgle will have a 24/7 live video stream. “Its YouTube at a new level” said Anthony Zaragoza, “the video content will be sharper at an EDTV level, nearly doubling the quality of a standard YouTube quality.” Zaragoza added that he has been planning a website like Vidgle since 2004 which was previously known as ENTV (Entertainment Now Television).
Anthony will be revealing more information about Vidgle on the Afternoon Show on January 11 beginning at 3PM.
