This is interesting! Not the system error so much but the "self-reminderwhy" thing. I can repro it in dev so I'll check it out and see if I can fix

Anyone know what the '+ add all videos to queue' option on the video pages does?  Is there a download manger somewhere or a private favourites/playlist?

There is not currently a download manager or favorites list but we have been working on a personal queue feature like Hulu or Netflix. Looks like parts of it got accidentally exposed this morning with all of the Build updates happening.

They must've forgotten to change the language of the post when it was first published. It seems like it's fixed now though, right?

Can you give us an example of a session w/slides in PDC 2010 that isn't working? I looked at a few randomly but don't see any w/slides.

This book changed my life: Designing With Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman. I'm not sure why it has "design" in the title since it doesn't really deal with design at all - it's all about html + css and web standards.

@blaklite: I'm checking into that video for you. Looks like it might be corrupted and needs to be re-encoded or something. I'll let you know.

@mmayo: You can change a setting in your profile to bypass the smooth streaming video format if it's not working well for you. Click the Profile link at the very top of the page, click "edit profile", then under Site settings -> Video Playback Preference, choose Progressive or HTML5.

You can choose to sync other Gmail folders too besides the inbox. Open Gmail on the phone and click the little folder icon at the bottom. Either select the folder in question from the list or click "show all folders" if you don't see it in the list. I'm not sure but that might fix the problem.

When I look at that feed in IE9, I see a wmv in there for each entry. Are you not seeing it? Or maybe using a different browser? I don't see the enclosures using Chrome but if I View Source on the page, I can see that they are in there.

If you're looking for a different format, you can add /mp4 to the end of the URL or any of these other formats: wmv, zune, wmvhigh, ipod, mp3, wma, mp4high and if we have that format they should show up.

@cbae: That IS pretty cool! I just wonder if there would be a way to mark that up with semantic HTML and screen grabs of keyframes like they did in the Madmanimation so that it would have usable content for screen readers and search engines. The text could even be used for closed captioning if they ever figure out how to sync html5 audio with CSS animations. The way they have written that SVG example, the content is a series of divs and <path />'s (?) that are pretty nonsensical and then disappear from the DOM altogether once the animation is finished. Probably is a way to do it, they just didn't.
