Actually downloading the Style Sessions Podcast

Style Sessions Trailer Podcast v2 has arrived!
The trailer is ready for download and promises not to bugger your computer. The problem was remedied by zipping the file, thereby complying with browser code. But enough tech-talk, here's how we got it to work:
-Click on the Style Sessions Trailer Podcast link. (Here or on the Projects page, which also contains the podcast, Board's Eye View Podcast.)
-The file will download and unzip (if you have the software; you should, it's free) on your desktop.
-Move the file to where you want it stored on your hard drive.
-In ITunes, click File>Add to Library.
-Drag the Trailer from your library to your Ipod Video.
-Enjoy and share.
There will be more podcasts coming, so stay tuned.

Not downloading the ipod video

Appy-polly-logies for jumping the gun on new technology vis-a-vis the ipod video. As asked, visitors to this site who tried to download the Style Sessions trailer in ipod format reported back on the results. The reports were, um, let's say, less than stellar. Apparently there were a range of problems; from 'nothing happened' to 'it crashed my computer.' No one reported that the mission was a success. (If anyone did experience success with the ipod download, please send us an email; include what type of computer, operating system, and web browser worked. This will help to isolate the problems.)
Redshift Pictures is going back to the drawing board, with attention to hammering out the issues associated with different platforms and web browsers. For now, the trailer is still viewable as a web stream, located in our sidebar. Once the problem is licked, the trailer will be back, with podcasts of other NYC skating sessions to follow.
Thanks you for your patience and assistance in spreading the faith.
