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)
The other day you saw Jason demonstrate Windows Media Connect. In this video Jason gives a few more details on Media Connect and how it works.

It would be a great piece of software which myself and I'm sure alot of other people would use daily between there computers, if it supported (in my case) Windows Server 2003. This is the computere where all my harddrives are, this is the computer from which I want to copy stuff onto my tablet, this is the computer that needs Windows Media Connect, but isn't supported.
Agreed. i got a Roku Soundbridge, and i need to make do with iTunes (which - well, let me say it politely - isn't perfect
While having WMC run on the Server would be ideal, i'd be perfectly happy havingit run on my (always on) desktop - if it could serve the mp3s located on my server...

Hey Channel9 Team, you posted Jason's last name as "Flaks" but in the video it is "Flacks" which one is it? Also who did this video? You've got some explaining to do!
Video transcript here,
Loadsgood.
Do you only have one microphone?
Is there one built into the camera?
I'm asking because on your last question, it sounded so quiet I had to turn all the settings on my speakers to full. even then I had to get my ear really close to the speaker. If there is only one Microphone and it's on the interviewee, can you please speak up next time so the viewers can hear you or get a second microphone?
If there is a microphone built into the camera can you please speak into it when you are speaking? It helps a lot when I'm making a transcript of the video or are just watching it.
That would be a great amount of help
Loadsgood.
Neither Mediaplayer 11 nor Media Connect 2.0 can be installed on Win2K3.
Someone stated it is due to the lack of uPnP on Win2K3, is this inedead the case?
Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve it? Or does anyone know if Microsoft will come up with a solution?
I am also still searching for a Microsoft renderer for WinXP (a Connect client), does anyone know if that is coming any time soon?
Regards,
Arne
It can be.
Upnp does not come installed as a service on win2k3, but you can install it.
Yes install, SSDP, UPNP and WM11 on your server.
