I constantly try to explain the fundamentals of video to anyone who doesn't cover their ears, and I think I've found a soulmate. :-)

videogrunt is the video podcast that illustrates the basic terms and technologies of digital video

I haven't had time to watch any of the three episodes yet, but it sure looks promising.

this is a great podcast. Short, to the point and uber-insightful. Go get it now.

I'll have to save it for "summer viewing," there's just too much to do right now.

I applaud the initiative to get people up to speed on these thing, good work!

Thanks, guys - appreciate the comments. Jonas, I understand the time thing, too. I'm trying to get the fouth program done and have a family life, too. Take your time, I plan to do this for a long time, and the content will still be relevant in a few year's time.

Best,

I've tried to explain interlacing and pixel aspect ratio by creating Flash-based tutorials, but somehow people only seem to "get it" when I explain in person, so I appreciate the difficulty of explaining all this!

I'm always getting asked technical questions by friends who think the don't need to understand the basics to be creative. I've already recommended to everyone they subscribe to this podcast. It's a nice piece of worl.
