Thats because h264 is a much better codec for compression and allows you to squeeze alot more into the same space. Conversely flash which uses h263 codec is similar in file size but far less compression hence a reduction in quality. The h264 feed can be fullscreen on a 42" plasma and from a reasonable viewing distance be very watchable. Nick.

Hi Midget, It is NOT just a video played through flash, we merely offer this service so people may view the video files in low res whilst coming across our site. The best way is to subscribe to the xml feeds we offer and download the full versions either manually or through iTunes. This is a common misconception and something is a widespread problem with regards to what we and people like us offer. We offer 2 feeds for playing in quicktime, vlc, etc.. 1. http://feeds.feedburner.com/ItIdiotsh264 offers you higher resolution and better quality (requires better processor) 2. http://feeds.feedburner.com/ItIdiots offers (640 x 400) ipod compatible viewing but is easier on the cpu. Thanks, Nick. http://www.itidiots.com

The banner is now buried at the bottom of the page alot less in your face. Nick.

Judging by the link through stats and where they are coming from not only is ITidiots getting a good amount of visits from educational establishments, a large number are going to take a sneak peak at adultcakes.co.uk too 8O Nick.

Hi Guys, Just to identify myself I'm Nick from ITidiots and I thought I would cover a couple of the points you have raised. Firstly I'm glad that people are taking an interest in the show, from the outset we knew it was not going to be to everyones liking, secondly we have had to learn as we progressed. If you are going to judge the show then I strongly urge you to do it based on the last 10 or 15 episodes. We have responded to feedback over the months and done three things. 1. Dropped Shabih (it was never going to work now was it ;-) ) 2. Cut out the off topic banter (we learnt we are not digg or twit very quickly) 3. As a whole reduced the epiosdes to around 35 mins on topic. The idea behind the show is to introduce people to technologies, get them excited enough to take a look and learn from themselves. We are not here to spoon feed people as it would take months to cover a topic and everyone would switch off (or sleep). The cake sponsor is my idea, I have now put a very clear notice about the advert making people aware of the sexually explicit content. I appreciate all the points raised but I have received an enormous amount of good feedback (people who appreciated the humor). We are happy to cover the topics you want and accept your feedback, tell us what you don't like and we will take a look at the general consensus. As far as viewing the show, yes it is a podcast but you can and should be subscribing via the rss feed, download the full sized episodes which scale fullscreen. If you are new to this then start out by downloading iTunes and subscribing to the show. Enjoy, Nick.
