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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- WMV (WMV Video)
There is more than one way to share a video online. 
We sat down with Rob Bennett from the MSN Soapbox Team where he answered our questions and gave us a demo of the web site and device experience.
You are most likely saying, "We’ve heard of all the online video sharing sites before, what makes Soapbox so special?” Well you can find out for yourself. Even though Soapbox is currently in a private beta, we've secured 10,000 invites just for the folks that come and visit 10. Visit our special beta registration site, supply your email address and you're in the beta.
Its time to create your own videos for 10 on Soapbox. Create your own video showing how you are using Technology to change your world, upload it to Soapbox and tag it with on10. We'll profile the most interesting videos here in the future!

Yes, traffic has been growing every month as we refine our content and experience. We really appreciate the support from everyone.
I, for one, am glad to hear it, really enjoy the direction this site has taken. While I may not always watch every single clip, I enjoy reading the blurbs, and the blogs. A couple of exceptions excluded, this is a pretty good crowd.

Hi Laura,
Great report, Soapbox looks pretty sweet. I like that feature that allows you to go to full screen without the video starting over, and being able to add tags, cool, oops that one is taken, I mean awesome. I guess I'm to late, 'cause as soon as the show was over I submitted my email and got placed on the waiting list. : ( The minute I'm in, I'll start looking for Laura Foy videos, I noticed when you brought up the subject of finding you on Soapbox, one the next words he spoke was del.icio.us, my thoughts exactly. ; )

I agree that this is a growing community and I always find myself stopping by to checkout the latest content. Keep up the great work 10 team! And thanks for the beta invite for Soapbox as well. So far it seems to be coming along nicely!

OK cool, I just got my confirmation that I'm in. Love the Toyota clip (of course). So let me know if the On10 team members have posted stuff. Chances are, I won't be posting any videos. I'm not that creative, and nobody wants to see my ugly mug.
PS: I already managed to crash the page, 3 minutes after I started using it.

Yah, it's a beta...that happens. Being in Beta for something made my Microsoft means more than a Google beta. What? Yah, I said it. :o
