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)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Qumar Jamil, Xbox Platform Program Manager, introduced me at Innovation Day to an important feature in Xbox 360 called the Family Settings. The Family Settings allow parents to regulate the games their kids play as well as their Xbox Live interactions. The Xbox team just released an update that enhances the Family Settings with the Family Timer. The Family Timer lets you manage console use on a daily or weekly basis. For example you can set the console to allow 2 hours of play per day. After those 2 hours of play, the console can't be used again within that 24-hour period, unless you grant additional time. Of course if you're the console administrator, you can override Family Timer settings if you want to continue playing games or watching DVD movies after the set time limit is reached.
