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)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
I got together with Greg Baribault from Microsoft Auto while at CES to get a look at what new things Microsoft Auto is working on. They include the new V.3 of Ford Sync, of course, but also some interesting diagnostics applications in conjunction with Fiat, and a really nice in-truck computer system for contractors that includes an RFID reader. The idea is that you throw all your tools in the truck and it will let you know if any are missing. There is also some great integration with TellMe.
Of course those who bought a Sync-enabled car last year are not left out, simply put an upgrade USB thumb drive into the Sync car and your car will upgrade with the new services and features.
