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)

Great show! Problem is you've included so many resources that it will take me a while to go through all the show links. Keep up the good work.
Sorry, we'll try to be less informative.
FYI, I have a blog post up at http://blog.smarx.com/posts/serving-your-website-from-a-windows-azure-drive that shows the code from this episode.
Thanks for the great show - I love it that you keep releasing shows at a quick pace and also throw in a bit of humour into the mix
But seriously, I'm a .NET expert - I actually programmed it even before it was released, and read like C# books before it came out. But alas I'm an Azure noob and I can't even get a simple web role to work - I have VS2010 RTM and Azure tools 1.1 and when I try to upload my package to staging it's stuck in "Initializing - Stopping - Stopped" and there's of course no diagnostics to find anywhere even though I'm pretty sure i set up the Diagnostics connection string correctly. I'm sure I have a web.config or other config error somewhere.
Please, make a walkthrough of making azure services - this is unfortunately not as easy as it should be.
Hi Hansol -
Sorry to hear about your issue. Take a look at episode 2 I think where the TotW is how to troubleshoot that problem. Here is the link that we refer to:
http://blog.toddysm.com/2010/01/windows-azure-deployment-stuck-in-initializing-busy-stopping-why.html
Steve and I also did a video called 'Hello Windows Azure' that might be the walkthru you are looking for.

If you have idea for other topics you would like to see, leave us a comment or use @cloudcovershow and share your idea. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Ryan. I already checked out the first url you mention. So I think my problem is related to the WCF-service that I try to consume from within my azure web role. There's a whole lot of auto web.config stuff going on that probably don't work for live production, but only in the test-environment or something. Maybe you could make a quick demo of setting up a simple hello world wcf-service inside a web role? And again, thanks! You and smarx are a great team and I can't wait for the next show
Not a bad idea... I have some other things I want to show there as well. Hmm...
For your immediate relief, have you seen the WCF on Azure samples and troubleshooting guidance?

Check the Known Issues link there and see about a few gotchas due to the load balancer and the QFE hotfix (already in cloud, btw).
Thanks again. I think my problem is the load-balancing thing described in the Known Issues, as you mention.
