The file option is intended for PDF’s
This would suit organisations that update manuals or specifications regularly

Dumb this down for me guys.

If i want to use podcast producer i need to buy os x server (software) and install it on an intel mac i have laying around to create the end product,(a podcast) which i can then upload to my webfaction server and it will function normally for everyone visiting my site as a podcast, quicktime movie, or however else i designate it to function.

Is this right?

The elevator pitch for Podcast Producer is this:

The server provides a centralized place to manage both remote recording agents and workflows for processing content.

The Podcast Capture.app is used on a Mac OS X client machine to contact the server. It can either submit content that is captured locally or direct a remote recording agent to capture content.

Whether local or remote capture is involved, the captured content is uploaded to the server and a workflow is run to process the content.

The workflows are actually executed on an Xgrid cluster that sits behind the Podcast Producer server.

Since the workflow definitions are server-based, they can do any manipulation to the content that can be run on an Xgrid cluster, and publish to any destination that is available to that Xgrid cluster.

Podcast Producer is a service that runs on mac os x 10.5 server. Podcast Capture is a program on Mac os x 10.5 client versions that connects to a Podcast Producer server.

Neither does anything without the other.

Podcast Producer takes the media from podcast capture, uses Xgrid to process it into several different formats, finally posting it to the server in the required way (apple-tv, itunes, itunesu, blog, etc.).

And the file-option on podcast capture is there to enable users to upload mediafiles they have created elsewhere, like in professional programs or on their windows machines.

PodCast Producer is in /etc/podcastproducer in the client version of Leopard, but in the Utilities folder there is an Application called “PodCast Capture”

When you run it, it asks you to connect to a server running PodCast Producer
