How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
This is a different kind of tour. It's of one of the most top-secret facilities Microsoft has (this is one of only a handful of buildings that Scoble's badge doesn't work in, for instance). It may be the first time you get a look inside this facility.
It's where the videos that you see at shows like CES and PDC are created. Also the
.NET Show is usually filmed on a stage here.

How can Microsoft make this many shows? Excluding C9 and the MSDN thing I can't name a single other media show I've seen my Microsoft ever...
I agree - this was really neat. Well, there are shows that end up inside products (Windows Media, Windows XP, etc.) as well as the MS Hardware (Halo, other XBOX stuff) and more.
Neat side of MS and great guy to present it.
The video didn't cover much of substance
I doubt Gary could talk publically about the process but is MS studios in fact responsible for the video work related to the yearly Microsoft spoofs invovling Gates/Balmer?
MS studios does tons of video work across the company and whether I'm at a MBS presentation or a MSDN event I always see great videos but when I try to locate the videos/resources(or ask my Microsoft contacts to locate them) no-one has any idea if a catalog even exists to search for the materials--I'd bet Gary would know.
Seeing how even Scoble doesn't have security clearance into MS Studio you can only begin to imagine the Area 51 type security vault they keep the videos in.
