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)
Digital Lens is a project out of Microsoft's Israel Innovation Labs that allows designers and developers to get an idea of what their applications will look like to visually
impaired users. This consideration might not be the first step in your testing (though it should be), but Federal sites, for example, must conform to Section
508 (1194.22), which dictates access for people with impaired vision.
I spoke with Oded Elyada, the developer of Digital Lens, by webcam this week who told me more about the project and how he came up with it.

Way to go Oded. Cool app.
Having worked for a color blind person many years ago, I know how difficult it can be and yet how easy it is to fix with just a little awareness.
Too bad this works under Win7 only . . .
Hmmm . . . I am fast becoming "not a fan".
I went home where I have Win7 and found that Digital Lens only operates on the 32 bit version of Win7 . . . every Win7 I've seen so far is 64 bits . . . great concept, but as near as I can tell it won't run on any system I have access to.
