The offi­cial videos for Ignite Port­land 5 have been up for a while, as have the unof­fi­cial ones from #lin­ux­aid.  They are both on Blip.tv, and I would really like to be able to carry the videos around on my iPhone to show to peo­ple as well as view them on the TV with the Mac Mini, but I have never been able to get Blip.tv to place nice with iTunes.  There is a friendly lit­tle “iTunes” link that brings up a nearly-empty RSS file.  The RSS link brings up a feed with a bunch of *.flv enclo­sures (that iTunes hap­pily ignores because it has no idea how to play them.) Maybe I am over­look­ing some­thing obvi­ous, but I just could not get the sub­scrip­tion to work.

Being the tin­kerer that I am, I hacked together an MP4 video feed of the offi­cial videos that works just peachy-keen with iTunes, the iPhone, AppleTV, and what­not.  It’s mainly a feed for a few of my devices and per­haps a friend or two, but fig­ured I would share it a lit­tle more pub­licly, in case oth­ers might find it useful.

The feed is at: http://netninja.com/files/ip/ip5/index.xml

The feed’s a lit­tle late in com­ing, but I’ve been crazy-busy the past few weeks.
