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)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
Jeff Wilcox, Senior SDE for Silverlight mobile, introduces the official pano and pivot controls for Windows Phone. Yes, they do exist!
These controls are in the RTM version of the Silverlight run-time. It comes with templates, design-time support, sample data, etc., so no extra downloads are needed.

Any idea how I use the panorama view with the Bing maps control?
Using the map in a Panorama Item, and trying to zoom in and pan, just switches the panorama view to the next or previous panorama item. Very annoying..
Understanding the Pivot and Pano controls were created specifically for WP7, are there any plans on releasing these controls to work on a regular SIlverlight and WPF application? Thanks
This video is quite blurry so it's impossible to read anything even fullscreen.
The high quality .WMV isn't terribly crisp either but the Silverlight streaming version is worse.
I seem to remember videos on C9 with screencaptures in the past that where clearer (I think?). Maybe I'm just spoiled by watching tutorial videos on Vimeo in HD.
Hey Now Jaime,
Another Great Show!
Thx 4 the info,
Catto
@MobileLayers: we're trying to share guidance on this. Because of the unique ways both maps and pano/pivot work with manipulations, it isn't possible to nest the controls (though we realize many people want to do this).
Similar to how you can't have a Pivot in a Pivot that makes sense from a UX standpoint, some people believe map navigaiton should be on another sub-page (using navigation) instead.
You can use the Map control (non-interactive) within the panorama and pivot OK.
@shaggygi: many people have expressed interest in this, but there isn't a short-term plan for this. If we can come up with a plan for sharing the source of the controls, it might be easier to get the ball rolling on this.
dentaku, what do u mean by blurry. r u trying to read the code?
Will try to improve it for next round, please expand so we know where to improve it.
Thanks!
