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)
As most of you know Second Life is an online virtual 3D world that anybody can join. It's even got its own CSI: NY Flickr group, you can hang on the Titanic and of course buy and sell your Linden dollars. But that's just the beginning. When I was at the Great Northern Way Campus in Vancouver Nadia Aly and Joanna Robinson gave me a quick guided tour of how to get started in Second Life and how to find them at the Masters of Digital Media program at the GNWC in Vancouver. In case you missed their impressive blended reality piece you can click here.

Soon all people will live in virtual world, and no one in real world. And on that day I will turn off the electricity
