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)
Coming at you LIIIIVE (ok not really) it’s this week’s Ping. This was a really exciting week in Microsoft-land with MIX, IE8, and Silverlight. We also talked about the “Surface 2” rumors and, of course, wrapped up with some trivia.
Here are some of the fancy links for you all so you don’t have to type:
- IE8 performance video (scroll down to Case Study)
- IE8 on Channel 10 discussion
- History of the Internet (hilarious!)
- Home Customizer Media Center Contest
PS: if you want to follow us on twitter check out Laura and/or Max.

Scrolling on Gamespot or Gametrailers or even wikipedia really has some choppy moments. I've filed the bugs at connect, got a lot of other betausers to file confirm if they experienced the issue, yet it still is not fixed
Having said that I do use IE8 as my main browser, but when I come to a page that has some uber choppy scrolling action, out comes Chrome.
That performance video that the IE team put out is really hard to believe. I agree that page loading is important, but in the javascript tests which I find more important IE gets killed. Live maps has a lot of javascript action going on, many webpages like Channel9 do as well.

The IE team should be praised for IE8, it really is great, especially in their zooming feature (although scrolling a webpage with zoom in IE8 is truly horrible, when in Firefox and Chrome zoomed pages have great performance). Having said that though, they must be pressured into making a faster browser, I demand it as a consumer, and I am sure many others do as well.
I have a suggestion for trivia, as you say 'prizes provided for 1st five correct answers' , but by the time I see this ping Ep. video , almost a day has passed in the other part of World and these people would have already participated in the trivia. So why not give equal chances to all, and make it five winners chosen randomly.
Also I liked all the videos shown related to IE8 , perf. video history of Net and had already downloaded those, num..num..num...num...
Now that its shown that IE8 is one of the fastest browser, its also the SAFEST BROWSER, check this comprehensive report : http://nsslabs.com/anti-malware/browser-security
"Which web browser is the safest? Current trends show over 50% of malware infections occur via Internet download. During Q1, 2009 NSS Labs performed the industry’s first comprehensive test of web browser protection against socially engineered malware. This report examines the ability of six different web browsers to protect users from this leading threat. The results are based upon empirically validated evidence gathered by NSS Labs during 12 days of 24x7 testing of more than 154,000 individual tests."
Download and Read the complete report at the above link.
Also thanks for the twitter id, i am following you both now, if you want , you can also follow me at vasudev
@Trix, Yes I read that, and this competition really shows the various exploits which are not divulged and its not let known to public. "All winners are asked to sign and agree to the general ZDI Non Disclosure Agreement, and the bugs will be turned over directly to the affected vendors."
And already MS is working on it, "....MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) woke me up before my alarm went off this morning to let me know that they had reproduced and validated IE8 vulnerability discovered by the mysterious Nils........"
So it will make the browser much better and Safer.
