Download

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 MP4 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 MP4 file.
  • If you have a Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, or Android 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…”

Our FoxIE web devs discuss techniques for supporting modern browsers and not leaving legacy users totally behind. They also address the risks and alternatives to common feature detection methods and browser sniffing.

    http://web.tweetdeck.com/ does the (bad) browser checking technique very blatantly. In IE (even 10), this site doesn't even work. If you change the user agent, you can log in, but that's it. The worst part is, that it USED TO work.

    Thx for the tip on Tweetdeck.

    @PSRBF6:Thanks for the heads up. We've chatted with them and they've told us they're working on an update.

    I changed the user agent and managed to log in, but this happened:

    @PSRBF6: Those classes are added by Modernizr following a series of feature tests. I just logged into tweetdeck using IE10 and found that while much of the interface works, the in-flow of tweets was broken, as well as a few minor layout issues. Hope they get it fixed - it's a great service.

    Jonathan, thanks for sharing that bit knowledge. :-)

  • Andy GammutoAndyGa

    My experience on the site yesterday was the same as Jonathans.
