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)
In the previous webcast you've seen how to write a simple function for downloading RSS feeds and processing them. In this part, we look how to improve the function to download data asynchronously and process them potentially in parallel. Once we have the
first version of the code, we can start refactoring it. We'll wrap it into F# asynchronous workflow to run without blocking threads and we'll also run multiple downloads in parallel. As you can see from the webcast, these kinds of refactorings are also very
nicely supported by F# syntax...
