 * The other problem is that Libsyn is suggesting that I should NOT place video 
   podcasts on their site. They suggest using YouTube. Can I use SSP for the audio
   podcast and then put youtube into it too. It would be nice to have both. I know
   other people are doing this – I just can’t figure out how they are doing it. 
   If I could just add a video link into the text box. Is that possible?

 * Hi Hugh:
 * Thanks for the list of providers. I would like to use Google Drive or Drop Box
   as I have paid accounts and plenty of space. I did make the files publically 
   available, and I did use the direct link, but when I look at the preview, there
   is no video. I don’t thinking that getting a hosting provider will solve this
   problem. There has to be some sort of setting or something. It’s really frustrating…
   Any more suggestions?

 * I just contacted Libsyn about this issue. they had the following comment – but
   is this something I can do with the SSP app?
 * “A traditional mp3 file will range, properly encoded, between .5MB and 1MB in
   size per minute of audio. We offer encoding recommendations which will optimize
   quality with file size here:
 * [http://support.libsyn.com/faqs/recommended-file-formats/](http://support.libsyn.com/faqs/recommended-file-formats/)
 * If you are running an hour long episode once a week (for example), you would 
   be right up against our $15 plan. Of course, you can upgrade or downgrade at 
   any time.
 * The second you move into video, however, the game changes. Video files are much
   larger and using a service like Libsyn is going to become more pricy for video.
   If you aren’t planning (I would recommend against doing so) on sending video 
   out to iTunes, I recommend using YouTube for your video and embedding the YouTube
   video on your site. Use Libsyn for audio. That will cut down on your cost a lot,
   and prevent you from splitting your audience in iTunes and other directories 
   for your podcast itself.”

 * I read that I could use Google drive as long as I made it shareable to anyone.
   I still can not see the video in the preview. 🙁 Please help…

 * I have tried Dropbox and Google Drive and neither of those work. Can you please
   give me a few options – as I don’t know where else to turn?

 * I would love to fix this problem myself – but I don’t understand your fix. Can
   you please be more specific? Is this something that the creator can fix so that
   it is easy to update?
