That tds.php script and feedcreator.class.php look like they will work
quite well with the video2ipod output as is, but it could be extended
to work better.

I think the future-work on this would be to have video2ipod add a tag
to the file to indicate what podcast it should be a part of (I believe
there already is a tag available for this purpose). The tds script
will need to be modified to look for that tag in the files and create
a podcast for each different tag. you could do tds.php?tag=TagName,
and everything with TagName would be listed in the podcast. Something
like that.

I am not sure how the iPod will deal with a recording being on a
podcast AND tagged to be a TV-Show. If you take a TV-Show-tagged
recording and put it directly onto an iPod with iTunes, it will show
up on the iPod under TV Shows -> TV Show Name -> Episode Name. If it's
a podcast, it will just show up under Video Podcast -> Podcast Name ->
Title. I suspect podcast would take priority over TV Show tagging.
