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)
While at NAB this year, Alex Zambelli showed us 3D streaming with Smooth Streaming. NAB this year was all about 3D
and we had several announcements of our own for that. It's only a matter of time until
Channel 9 is in 3D. Also announced at NAB this year was IIS Media Services 4.0 support for Smooth Streaming over multicast networks which supports transmuxing for adaptive streaming on iPhones. Apologies for how dark the video is, it was very dark on the
floor this year and it looked brighter on the monitor than it does now.

Very cool, the day is coming when Media Center and Extenders will toggle this on/off automatically with optional override. A good starting point though would be to enable this on XBox for games.
anaglyph? seriously?
It's seriously anaglyph only if you watched the first 4 minutes of the video.
Fast forward to 4:15 to see the part about 3DTV support.
Check out my blog for full details on the demo: http://alexzambelli.com/blog/2010/04/16/smooth-streaming-3d-shown-at-nab/
That's what I said when I walked up to it.
Actually, it doesn't look bad. The higher bit item here is that it's doing anaglyph live on the fly. It can also do 'real' 3D, but most people can't do anything with that right now. So anaglyph (in color and
BW) are decent options for others.
Of course, as I mention in the video, you don't have to watch in 3D at all if you don't want. Options are good.
