An amazing conference! I noticed that some of the “entire session” ASL files are in WMV format (Sat afternoon, Priesthood, Sun Morning) instead of the expected MP4–all have the Quicktime logo next to them though. And the A/V quality on the WMV files is poor. Is this temporary? I thought the ASL files were supposed to be MP4?
Thanks for all you do!
There’s a podcast link on this ksl page:

But I used this one which includes 2006 & April 2007:

Enclosures are entire sessions (just the way I like).
Yay for conference! I don’t know who to thank, but what y’all are doing with the Church web site in the last year or so is awesome.
I’ve created a site at ScriptureCast.net which allows people to create custom podcasts of the scriptures.
I’ve recently updated the site to include the recent General Conference as one of the sources. At the site, you can create a podcast which will feed you General Conference talks at a rate which you’ve specified. You can, for example, review one talk per week, or listen to talks at a rate which will have you finish by the next General Conference.
If you like, or dislike, the site, please use the feedback button on the bottom of the pages and let me know, because I would love to make the site better.
Can anyone help me? I’m not very savvy with my new Mac and I can’t figure out how to download the mp3 files of the conference talks to iTunes so that I can have them on my iPod. Any directions?
dlb,
Yes, the WMV file is poorer quality than the other files. It is the 16k streaming file. If you right click on the MP3 and choose Save Target As, you can download the higher quality 64k verion.
The ASL files are now MP4 QuickTime files–they weren’t previously.
