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…”
- WMV (WMV Video)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)

Am I thinking right? I can ues the HttpWebRequest/Response APIs to send a querry to the server, run the querry over a large XML file on the server and returns just the xml nodes I wish to display/manupulte on the client. A poor mans data base call? Is there anything really wrong with doing this?
Yes, you can do that if you like. Or you can use WCF and do a similar thing via SOAP services and get a nicer programming model. Or you can use a framework like WCF Data Services to expose a data model ( Entity Framework/LINQ to SQL/Custom ) from the server side over easy to access RESTful services including a standard for how a URI can represent the query over that data. WCF RIA Services would be another choice at a higher level of abstraction stil..
Lots of choices...
