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 this screencast we learn how Microsoft teamed up with Symon Communications to build a scalable content delivery system for mobile devices. This Proof of Concept was created to help with Symons digital signage network, but the caching mechanism could potentially benefit anyone looking to leverage Windows Azure for massive scale. Joshua Kurlinski from Symon talks about the problems we needed to solve, and Joseph Fultz from the Dallas MTC (Microsoft Technology Center) walks us through the solution we created in depth.
