The zune version is actually there already.  Just take the url (when you click "Download" and change the "2MB" to "Zune".  You get this: http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/ThisWeekC9Mar20_Zune_ch9.wmv

We will expose the different file formats we have in a future version of Channel 9, but for now you can access them by following this pattern:

<BR>const string videoFileFormat = "{0}{1}_ch9.{2}";<BR>string rootPath = "http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/ThisWeekC9Mar20";  // Change this to any recent video's root path<BR><BR>string wmvStreaming = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "_s", "wmv");<BR>string wmv = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "wmv");<BR>string wmvHigh = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "_2MB", "wmv");<BR>string wma = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "wma");<BR>string mp3 = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "mp3");<BR>string zune = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "_Zune", "wmv");<BR>string iPod = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "mp4");<BR>string psp = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "mp4");<BR>
