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)

Crazy RED Blink @01:36.
Ha! Nice. I guess that was Laura's way of saying Happy Valentine's Day, subliminally.
Something is wrong with the video: WMV High, it's like blurry and not smooth as always. Am I correct?
Michael, our normal editor was out of the office on vacation so chances are that we didn't end up using the same settings. Apologies, but he'll be back next week
Thanks for discussing my CodeProject article on writing a sensor driver for the Nintendo Wiimote for Windows 7 on your show. Just wanted to clarify that I used Brian Peek's WiimoteLib implementation to figure out how to correctly communicate with the Wiimote (i.e. what bits to send and how to parse what it sends back), but the driver doesn't actually call out to the WiimoteLib, i.e. there is no runtime dependency on the WiimoteLib. The driver is a completely native UMDF driver. Thanks!
