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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- WMV (WMV Video)

Very good indeed.
With regards to the text rendering, did any of the DX10 specific optimizations ever arise? A long time ago, in the Avalon days, i remember there was talk of moving the text path completely to hardware in DX10 class video cards, as opposed to the mixed hardware cleartype and software glyph composition / alpha blending in DX9 paths?
Thanks for the kind words all!
At this time, our hardware rendering is (still) DX9. Taking advantage of geometry shaders etc is still certainly interesting, though I can't say one way or the other if/when we'll move to DX10.
Why can't you guys remember to post a link to the LOW-RES file on every video that you do?
It's very irritating when downloading with BITS to have to wait on 600Mb files.
