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)
My browser-based blog posting tools are clunky and difficult to use - there's got to be an easier way! Also, Live Writer is more than a blogging tool. Learn how to post content to
a portal!

Hello Russell,
Channel 9 uses the metaweblog API, did you post using Windows Live Writer? If not, why not
Live Writer is a great time saver indeed.
But there are some problems. Like extra spaces between paragraphs when you post on blogspot sites, while it posts fine on live spaces.
I'll have to add this to my list of things to do! Thanks for the idea on using this to post to channel 9. russ
