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 video, Anderson Quach, Program Manager for Internet Explorer, looks at a real-world example of how developers can use HTML5 HD video and audio support in the third build of the IE9 Platform Preview. This sample and the third IE9 Platform Preview are available on the IE Test Drive.

Nice looking demo! Which version of Chrome is this though? It's perfectly smooth for me with the latest Chromium 6 code (svn rev 50635) on Gentoo amd64 arch - almost never dropping below 60fps. Running the current release of Chrome 5 on 64 bit win7 in VirtualBox I did get that slowdown, however the IE9 preview also slowed down considerably without GPU acceleration under VirtualBox. If that's also true running IE9 natively rendering on the CPU then the current Chromium code outperforms IE9. Even if that's not true, to be fair, a performance comparison between a pre-release version of IE and a current release of Chrome, FF, or Opera shouldn't be considered valid, especially if performance issues have been addressed in the latest development code.
These same effects look like they're probably doable using CSS transforms for an even smoother effect on those browsers which support them.
