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)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality MP4 (iPad, PC)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)

Glad to see this idea make it into the product - I was implementing a similar method based on samples from various blogs, and this just makes it that much easier and cut a bunch of hours off my tasks.
@Richard.Hein:Glad to hear it, Richard!

Hi all,
I've been experimenting with the Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles and I think it is exactly what I need: Multiple websites hosted on the same web role (and instances). I have managed to create websites and deploy successfully with no problems.
However, I could not find any way to create virtual directories, set applications, set redirections etc. The features that allowed me to do this (through the Windows Azure Service Definition configuration file) do not seem to apply to web roles using the Azure Accelerator. Then how do you manage to create virtual directories and set applications etc when using the Azure Accelerator?
Thanks
Clayton
