What's the encoding for The Merlin Show?

I'm encoding a bunch of guitar videos and am super impressed with how The Merlin Show looks for the file size. Is there a secret sauce? If not, and you're out there Merlin, could you share the settings that you use for encoding? Presumably you're using QuickTime Pro and using h.264? I'd appreciate knowing how you do it.

Great content too, by the way. I'm really enjoying it, even though the last thing I need in my life right now is yet another podcast!

I will second this notion. Sometimes I think, "Man, why doesn't Merlin do more 43folders podcast episodes or more TMS episodes" but then I realize that I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much if he did because the content would go south much like Outside The Lines on ESPN did when it went to a nightly show.

I was just about to say I wish episodes were more regular, but it does appear that there is a goal of two episodes of TMS per week. It would be nice if that schedule were posted somewhere. I'm a sucker for having something to look forward to. Although, when Merlin posts a tweet about finishing up an episode or something I find myself starting to look for it in my Podcast list.

All that being said, Yah, great job on the show, Merlin.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
