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)
This week on IWP, we talk to the man with the plan, Microsoft's own Steve Bell.
When you submit a Windows Phone application to publish, we run it through a certification process in order to ensure that it meets minimum quality and content requirements, to ensure a great end user experience.

You are killing Windows Phone with all this certification nonsense. The walled-garden approach is the Apple way.
@Mark Rogers:i understand where you are coming from; certification does have its costs for the developer.
For us, though there are two sides. (1) It's about providing end users some reasonable expectation of a certain level of quality, and (2) when users have a reasonable expectation of a certain level of quality, we think they are more likely to download and purchase apps, which is better for developers.
We don't want to impact developers though. We're trying to walk a middle line; providing users some reasonable expectation of a certain level of quality, BUT ALSO giving developers very clear guidance and transparency into the process, and making the process as seamless and quick as possible.
These are our goals; we're working very hard to drive to a process that is as painless as possible.
I'm sorry I'm stuck, I meant to get the walkthrew on all four steps. Can you guide me please?
I am so glad that you folks have the Certification process. It helps maintain, quality and reliable User Experience for the end users.
