Another way to get all the PDC Videos… This time as a RSS feed, with WMV videos as an enclosure (i.e. Catch them all for your Zune/IPod)

granth's blog - Downloading all PDC2008 session videos

“If you missed out on PDC this year, you probably know that all the sessions were recorded and made available on MSDN’s Channel9. It’s not immediately obvious from the Channel9 site, but it is possible to get an RSS feed of all the videos that are available.

This makes it very easy to download all the videos and convert them to your Zune for commute viewing.

The RSS feed is: http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/pdc2008/RSS/Default.aspx

If you want to download all 130 videos (37Gb), then download the attached PDC2008_Videos.txt [GD: Click through to actually download the text file… I don’t want to leach ALL his traffic… ;) ] file and import it into your favourite download tool. I like Free Download Manager.

…”

Since this feed has the keynotes in it I’m thinking about tweaking my PDC List Maker to use this feed as its initial catalog… (Hum and that would let me use the cool Syndication stuff in .Net 3.5… okay, sold. Firing up VS now…  ;)
