An enhanced podcast is a podcast multimedia format that allows images to be displayed in time with audio. This can be an effective way to present information such as lectures with a powerpoint-like slide show.
Enhanced podcasts are also able to present chapter markers in an audio file much like a DVD movie can allow users to jump to predetermined spots in a presentation. This can be helpful for longer audio presentations and audiobooks. The current drawback of enhanced podcasts is that they are not universally supported.
Apple approach
The most popular approach is based on AAC and Apple's QuickTime. Playing these enhanced podcasts on a computer requires Apple's Quicktime Player or iTunes software. The only portable devices capable of playing these enhanced podcasts are iPods.
Authoring is possible on a Macintosh computer using applications such as Apple's GarageBand 3, ProfCast and Apple's Chapter Tool. It can be accomplished on a PC using Camtasia or other screen capture plus voice recording software.
ID3v2 Chapters
An alternative approach is to use ID3v2 Chapters. This is a relatively new standard and is not widely supported as yet. However an authoring tool is available and a media player for Pocket PCs and Windows Mobile Smartphones.
