How do I download the videos?

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…”

Unfortunately many PDC videos are out of sync when downloaded
i.e. Pablo Castros OData session. It begins ok, but after some time it loses synchronization and is unwatchable 
@wisnia: Yes, the video team is aware of this and is re-encoding every video. The live video sync should be fine though
you're missing a link to Greg Duncan's session list above:

just simple question
what is the difference between wmv-high and mp4-high
cause the mp4 is larger in size than wmv and both look the same to me
which the highest quality?
@athman:Maybe it's not about the quality but the target of the files. They may look the same but you may not be able to put a WMV file on your portable like you can with MP4 file.
@markheath: Thanks Mark! added in link
@athman: we have the mp4 for stuff like html5 and portable devices
The Mp4 encoded at 480 x 272
The WMV-HQ is typically encoded at 1280 x 720
HQ has more than 7 times the resolution of the MP4 version
@clint
mp4 also have a version of High Qualtiy as it also have the low quality
i ask because i saw the mp4 is larger than wmv which i thought it will be better but i didnt recognise any difference thats why i confuse
but what abt the codes when the speaker gives a demo both doesnt show it well as it was for last year in pdc09
i try download the future of VB and C# and the codes in the demos was not clear
@Dan:Any dates on when the videos will be reencoded?
@Clint: So with HQ you could see Dan's untrimmed nose hair.... OK... I will avoid HQ
@Minh: You know you want to see them
@Dan: I now have a strange urge to see em haha
@athman: we currenly only encode mp4 at the 480 x 272 profile. HQ videos with large resolution is useful for screen capture and being able to read code.
For this video
WMV @ 1280x720 is 205mb
MP4 @ 480x272 is 95.8mb
PDC videos all should have a high quality link to them.
