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…”

Why not take advantage of the millions of Live ID's already on the internet? Watch this video to learn how to incorporate Live ID into your application for authentication. 

What is it?
The Windows Live™ ID Web Authentication 1.0  and Client software development kit s(SDK) gives you a platform-neutral way to bring the power of the Windows Live ID authentication service to your own Web site.

Download Site: http://dev.live.com/services

Example Problem(s) it solves:

  • The ability to use Windows Live to incorporate authenticated Windows Live services into your site.
  • An HTTP-based, platform-neutral interface for implementing Windows Live ID authentication in your existing site, even if it is hosted by a third-party.
  • Freedom from the technical details of authentication! The Windows Live ID authentication service handles this for you.
  • A huge user base: any of the millions of users who have a Windows Live ID can become a user of your site.
