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)
PhotoSuru is a new photo viewing sample from the WPF team. The sample provides a unique way to browse a collection of photos, taking advantage of WPF features such as Pixel Shaders, Adaptive Layout and Custom Themes. The
application is based on the recently released
SCE Starter Kit which is available for download including the
full source code. In this video, Nicholas Armstrong provides a short demonstration on how the application works.

(by the way, the downloadable branded version works well)
Can you isolate the problem by disabling WPF hardware acceleration by setting the DisableHWAcceleration registry key? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970912.aspx
If that fixes the BSOD then it has something to do with the display adaptor. Double check that you are using most recent WHQL-certified nVidia display drivers. Let us know!
I was running version 7.15.11.7813 (Sept 17 '08) of the nVidia WHQL driver and upgraded this now to 7.15.11.8120 (Jan 8 '09, also known as 181.20). Same issue, although it looks like that I can run the application a few seconds more. (note: I do see the app, the BSOD occurs a few seconds after).
Unfortunatly I cannot find the DisableHWAcceleration registry key, not manually and not by search.
This links to a version that installs on Windows 7 Beta 1

I downloaded the High quality WMV, and although the talking heads sections are smooth, the WPF screenshot bits seem to be about 1fps.
Kinda defeats the purpose of a video demo-ing an app which presumably has lots of slick animations.
Is the video just running like this on my PC? I tried the smaller size video too...
