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)

Mama mia! I hope not.

Charles, looks like we uploaded the raw video, not the MBR one.
did you mean "VBR" as in Variable Bit Rate or if not what is an "MBR" ?? if I may ask??
MBR is multiple bit rate video.
The one here is probably a 1.5 gbps video. The ones that we usually put up here are 300kbps.
Wow thats great! I'm going to dl it and try make it H.264 to see if it can beat the WMV quality at the 300 kbps rate.
I watched this video from the 291 kbps stream and 20 first minutes was pretty horrible as you didn't use the tripod.. It was pretty hard to see anything on the screen. Perhaps the 1.5 GB is better in this respect too as you can also read the text on the screen.
And regarding the XML tools.. Lot of great stuff and I like to see the intellisense capabilities coming more and more to XML world.
You also uploaded another big video.

edit: Scoble I kind of understand the trouble MS has spreading gigabyte sized videos. The trouble is cause Akamai uses the DNS to give people the source of the download. And if the first one you get is not the best, you are stuck with it cause Windows or even your router may cache it.
I had to switch DNS servers from nslookup to get a hold of a fast akamai download mirror address. The default I was given was like 10 KB/s. Now with few minutes of work finding better source for the huge video and I am getting it 400 KB/s.
They do that for MSDNTV and you see how often there is MSDNTV demos. Maybe once a month. Of course they could spend time doing some kind of one click deploy that would install the capturing and send the captured stuff over network to scobles machine. But what about capturing audio in sync to the screen capture? You'd have to plug a proper quality mic to the computer. With front audio ports, perhaps, but I doubt everyone at MS has such case or laptop.
And so on. Certainly possible but I guess it would require that Scoble had more time and more enthuasism towards optimal video/audio quality.
I must say file size is a bit big, bug the video looks great fullscreen =) I can even read the onscreen letters good now, ghehe
It was my littlest guy's 5th birthday party, so I only watched 75% of the video, but I was very impressed with the new Xml editors in VS2005. I can't wait for the Xml/Xsd intellisense. We have a special config file for our website framework here and the Xml file is growing with added features, so new sites would be difficult to set up for new users who don't know the rules for the Xml document. Having that Xsd intellisense would be great for that. I also liked the code-snippets as well. Good for small or large companies, I think VS2005 is going to be good for efficiency and streamlining code.
I'm glad I didn't talk my company into XmlSpy licenses, they're quite pricey now anyways...
You know, Divx 5.21 at 1MBps video and 320KBps MP3 audio would probably compress to around 150-200MB without sacraficing quality.
Edit: I guess I should add that given better lighting and exposure this would beat the .NET Show
This surely puts us onto our fourth DVD collection!
You don't mind that I download this version?
OK. The MBR compressed dowloadable file is now live.

(24:00-27:00) XSLT Viewer and Debugger - yes, yes, yes!
(27:00) Integrated XSLT and C# Debugging that allows switching between the two you guys are too much.
(36:00) Custom XML designer architecture. That's a great idea. I would love to see you guys get that out there.
All in all this stuff is pretty good. But when are you going to walk over to the BizTalk team and get their source code for the tree based schema editor. The current one is not fun to use and will be a sore spot for many developers when they see it hasn't really changed in three years.
Tell me about it! And to add insult to injury their new release schedule is very aggressive and usually involves an "upgrade" price that is almost as much as the full price.
Nice to see some decent competition at long last.
I´ve been pushing for A LITTLE CONCEPT AND THOUGHT to be put into the videos for some weeks now and more and more people seem to push in the same direction.
1) Cudos to Scoble: You can´t do pro videos as a one man show
2) With A LITTLE BIT OF CONCEPT he could seperate talk (audio only / lo bitrate) from demos (300Kb videos are quite good)
3) Keep the cam either on the speaker OR on the screen
4) Offer seperated streams for d/l
That´s coupla minutes more per video. Should be affordable timewise.
Thanks

for reminding the community that there is a great MS product called Visual FoxPro and putting the box right behind the screen!!!
Not enjoyed such a "shameless plug" for VFP in a long time! <grin>
Thanks again

But, you miss the whole point of Channel 9. It's to get you into places that you otherwise wouldn't be able to get into. If I did pro videos that would change Channel 9. The lack of professionalism also makes the videos far more believeable. Compare our videos to those that are done by "professional" crews. I like ours every day of the week.
Plus, by keeping the workflow simple we can bang these out on a much more consistent schedule than others can do it.
On top of that sometimes the last min thing can drag down the quality because people do not know what to say, but we always have charles to fill in the void of dead space LOL. I say keep up the good work and I hope you guys get someone fulltime(wink wink) to pump these films out because we need more.
BTW what video apps do you guys use ? if any?
I'm not having any luck with the xslt editor in Beta II
I've assigned the output document, input document, stylesheet, schema, everything and I still don't get intellisense.
The only icons that are ever active on the tool bar are "format entire document" and "generate schema", the xslt debugger is dissabled.
any ideas?
