User feeds not playable in Itunes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
 1. Install rsshandler using the instructions 
 2. Generate a USER feed for "thegadgetshow"
    which gives me this URL http://weatherwax:8083/user.rss?id=thegadgetshow&format=18&host=weatherwax&port=8083&size=25&orderby=published&removeDescription=true&removeTitle=false
 3. Paste feed into itunes.  iTunes then downloads a list of episodes 
 4. I then click to download one of the episodes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- itunes should download the episode and allow me to play it, instead when 
itunes has downloaded the episode it puts a ! exclaimation mark by the side of 
the episode. When it click on the ! i the message :
There was a problem adding "The Gadget Show: Episode xyz" to iTunes. 
The file might be corrupted, or a file type that itunes cannot play. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- just downloaded, on Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
- I created about half a dozen feeds, half work as expected the rest give the 
same error.

A couple of questions:

1) Which version of rsshandler are you using?
2) What is the output of 
http://weatherwax:8083/user.rss?id=thegadgetshow&format=18&host=weatherwax&port=
8083&size=25&orderby=published&removeDescription=true&removeTitle=false in your 
browser?  Attach the output to this bug if you can.

1)
I'm using the web start at 
http://rsshandler.googlecode.com/files/rsshandler.jnlp 

2)
I get this : in the standard RSS feed format:

The Gadget Show: First Look - Jolibook
17 March 2011, 19:14:06 | thegadgetshow
video.mp4

The Gadget Show: Websites - The Brothers Brick & Doggles
17 March 2011, 17:56:17 | thegadgetshow
video.mp4

The Gadget Show: Gadget News - Tech Round-Up
....
...
..

when I try one of the "MP4s" 
http://weatherwax:8083/video.mp4?format=18&id=V3o6e47ZLIA&feature=youtube_gdata
firefox pops up with a dialog box whose title is: 

Opening videoplayback 

You have chosen to open 
   videoplayback
    which is a: video/x-flv
    from: http://v5.cache3.c.youtube.com

I'm guessing the flv doesn't mix well with itunes.  Since you're using the web 
start, you don't have a fix that corrects a format selection bug.  Try the 
3.0.1 beta 2 build (no webstart available yet).

closing due to no response and this should be fixed in latest beta builds.
