Production notes:

• TV: The original is edited in Adobe Premiere for TV, and output is written to DVD.  Format: NTSC DV 4x3 LQ 6M VBR 1 pass.
• Google Video: The TV header/footer is stripped in Adobe Premiere, and an avi file is made for Google Video.  This avi file is then converted to mpeg4 (DivX, also in avi format) for Google Video by using the Dr.DivX program.  The final is saved in a Google folder and uploaded to Google.  User freegoodnews@aol.com pass heji****.
• YouTube & GodTube Video: The Google Video is chopped and saved into 10 minute parts in Adobe Premiere, and each part written to avi.  (10 minutes/100MBytes is max allowed for these sites.)  These avi files are then converted to mpeg4 (also in avi format) by Dr.DivX. The finals are saved in a YouTube folder and uploaded to YouTube.  User Berrmutt, pass heji****.  Also uploaded to GodTube (same user and pass as YouTube).
• Windows .wmv files: Made from the Google Video avi from Adobe Premiere, using the Microsoft encoder.
• QuickTime and RealMedia: Encoded from Adobe Premiere with the Google-edited program version loaded.
• MP3: Encode the .wma 64 Kbps into MP3 using FreeRIP3 (from FreeRIP.com).  A wma of 64 Kbps gets converted to mp3 of 160 Kbps, so the mp3 name is manually changed accordingly.  Could also use program "avi-mpeg-wmv-rm to mp3 converter."
