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)
This week during the Presidential Inauguration, Silverlight was used by both CBS and the official Presidential Inauguration Committee site to stream the event
live. Steven Woodward and Ben Waggoner tell the story of how the projects came together, including the
last minute push to add a Moonlight player to the PIC site as an alternative experience for Linux and PowerPC Mac users.

maybe there was something wrong with your install, maybe a wrong version of firefox? i used firefox 3 and i clicked "yes" when asked if i wanted to install the audio/video codecs
i use firefox3 in pclinuxos ..i went to moonlight website, downloaded moonlight plugin ..i then went to that webpage and i was asked if i wanted to install microsoft codecs ..i said yes and i think i was asked to restart firefox ..i restarted it, went back to the website and i the video played, with sound ..
so ..maybe it worked on some people and it didnt work on others
check out this thread at miguel blog http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2009/Jan-20.html
somebody said that it worked on fedora 9 but only showed "loading" on fedora10 ..are you running fedora10? what distro are you running? according to others ..it worked on ubuntu too
Oops, I should have added a link to the on-demand version in this post... *update*
