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)
My favorite episode so far - strong news-wise (Moonlight 1.0 ships, Tim Sneath reports Silverlight is fizzing, and a $5000 Silverlight game contest), hearty tutorials including how to use AddIns in Blend and mesmorizing colorful demos.

- Moonlight 1.0 officially goes live
- Silverlight is fizzing, not fizzling
- ServerQuest Contest
- Smooth Streaming Architecture
- Three Essential Expression Blend Add-Ins
- Silverlight Metronome

This is all great but these videos tend to be mostly linear (like television) and don't have links to the resources that are mentioned. Consequently I find online blog/ videos to be frustrating. How about an accompanying blog post with all the links to the relevant content?
I am thinking I should show the links inline when talking about them, that might help a bit, but you can't click them. It'd be great to do more with chapters/markers and the Silverlight player and enable more interactivity. There are a few technical things that would need to happen including updating the Silverlight player and ensuring Media Markers make it through the encoding pipeline. I'll talk to the Ch9 team about it.
