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)
You do realize that Channel 9 is partly about finding out who has the coolest job at Microsoft. We can't think of many that'd be cooler than Larry Hryb's. He's in charge of programming at
Xbox Live. He explains what that is, and also talks about his online persona:
Major Nelson.
Major Nelson (aka Larry) is well known. He even was recently interviewed by ActiveWin.
One thing you should catch is the logo on his t-shirt. Xenon is the code-name for the next version of the Xbox. We tried to get Larry to talk about that (or, even, the anticipated Halo 2, which will be shipping in November) but he wouldn't talk.
If you don't know what Xbox Live is, he filmed a demo for us too. In short it lets you talk and play video games against other people via the Internet (it comes with a headset so you can talk with groups of people).
Speaking of which, anyone up for a game? Leave us your gamer tag and we'll get some games going.
