This morning i was playing with Zune (software) and remembered the Podcast section. So i decide to give a try to see if it would work with video. And the answers is YES. So here is the walkthrough to do so.

First make sure you have Zune open and go in your “Collection” and select “Podcasts”:

Now you can go on the Channel 9 website in the section dedicated to BUILD :  http://channel9.msdn.com/events/BUILD/BUILD2011

In the page there a link called Subscribe to this event:

When you do a mouse over a context menu will show up:

So now you can do a right click and select “Copy shortcut”

or use any of the link below:
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/RSS/mp4
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/RSS/mp4high
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/RSS/wmv
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/RSS/wmvhigh
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/RSS/zune
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/RSS/mp3

and now you can go back in Zune and click on the “ADD A PODCAST” button

Past any of the feed you want and click on the “SUBSCRIBE” button:

So now Zune will download the feed and display the available show. You can now click on the Download button of any show that you want. By default, Zune will automatically try to download the first 3 video. So you can access the  “Series Settings” so you will be able to configure how Zune will handle this series.

After that you can now watch the videos in Zune or if you prefer you can sync the video to your Windows Phone 7 by right click on the video that you want to sync and click “Sync with …”

Enjoy watching the BUILD sessions offline, and get ready for the future of Windows.
