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…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality MP4 (iPad, PC)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
The .NET framework provides a simple API for sending email. I assume you are already acquainted with the handy namespace System.Net.Mail. However, dynamically generating the content of an email is still a bit tricky. Code that concatenates strings and variables is no fun to write or read! What we need is a way to write text (or html) templates which will be rendered with some data. ASP.NET MVC already has exactly this in the form of Views. So let's reuse the view engine infrastructure to create our emails. I created a simple library called Postal that does just that. This session will introduce Postal and walk through using the library.

The quality of video is so bad, I am unable to get what is going on.
I agree - the screens are unreadable. Hard to follow along.
Joe Stagner has already explained this! thx anytime, the video is not readable
Download the "High Quality WMV" file to your computer. The resolution is tons better.
