One more question, what technology do you guys use to stream the videos? When I right click on the player it says save as jpeg. I was thinking it might be wmv or flash.

Btw looking forward for the whole interview.

I also like to download and watch the shows.

I guess it's kinda trend or option that can be taken by video contents publisher NOT to include volume control in player panel. You would also see the player w/o volume control on Channel10 (on10.net) site. Maybe it's giving a watcher a default/current sound (volume) setting of pc, disallowing any change of setting thru the player.

The image we see on the page when we open it and when we try to save using right-click would be a palyerPreviewImage to represent the specific video content in overall, I guess. Oh, these guys use mms (mms://) streaming for sure with wmv file inside, along with activex control and ole object stuff for player, I guess. (All of my guess coming from page source )

BTW, also looking forward to the rest of interviews. ^^

looks like some real hardwork. But I wonder why they shoudl do this. Probably wanna make it OS and browser independent. Probably I should try if the online player will work if no mms support is available

Btw ya, I also wanted to point one more thing, having 4 parts each 6 mins long is kinda boring. Probably you should have 2 * 20 instead.

I know we've been asking for shorter movies, but I'm thinking more in the range of 15 minutes. Now we have an introduction to something that isn't there. :P

Looks promising for the follow-up, though.

How come you did it in 4 parts? From what i have seen now it could be done in 3.
Doing this short movies im not a big fan of tbh.

Doing parts is fine, BUT this short clips doesnt work i think. No disrespect intended.

You shall all rejoice when they roll v4? I heard a WPF/E embedded player is in the works.

On a side note, I enjoy what I saw of the video (I speak french fluently), you rarely see that aspect of a product. Plus whodathunkit, 1 million!

Video stopped at 6:24 with Rory trying to say something, looks like we missed something. Is this really the end of the interview or error in video editing?

We want happy ending

This short video is the first of a four part series in which I sat down with Fabrice Fonck and Molly Bostic to talk about the MSDN DevWiki project.

Media Length: 00:06:25

Yup - that's right.

When I edited it, I thought I had cut off that last part. My guess is that the work area of the clip was smaller than the size of the clip itself, so I accidentally left in about a second from the next video in the series.

It won't happen again (now that I know what to look for) :)
