Itunes feed does not validate due to media:player embed tags.
Example, http://mailchimp.blip.tv/rss/itunes/
Does not validate at line 64: <media:player><embed src="http://blip.t
Does Blip.tv submit a different feed to itunes? Trying to submit yourself results in "no episodes found" error. Had this working through Blip.tv but would like to run feed through feedburner.</media:player>

Inappropriate?The inclusion of HTML in the <media:player> element is a feature that's widely supported but not actually part of the standard. We do actually submit the feed at '/rss/itunes' to iTunes. Apparently iTunes is able to handle the non-compliant element in the feed without problems.
If you are using an application that's a little more picky - such as Feedburner - you can use '/rss/itunes-strict' instead. This gives you a feed that conforms more closely to the standard. You may still receive some warnings (mostly to do with namespace issues) if you validate the feed, but they should only be warnings, not errors, and should not cause the feed to be rejected by Feedburner.

Inappropriate?It doesn't seem like you can use the strict feed with Feedburner, however. I was able to look at the feed directly and run it through feedvalidator.org, but using the feed with Feedburner returns the following:
Detail: There was a problem retrieving the feed: external resource fetching disallowed [http://mailchimp.blip.tv/rss/itunes-s...]
In any case, even strict didn't validate. I don't think this is the issue with iTunes. iTunes seems to be able to handle the non-compliant element as you said. It's FeedBurners proxy redirects in entry titles it doesn't like.
Thank you for the fast reply, I'm impressed!
