THE URL: http://buildwindows2012.peterkellner.net/
Just like a couple years ago when we wrote the mass download of videos for the Microsoft MIX conference (https://peterkellner.net/2011/04/21/want-to-mass-download-all-mix11-videos-and-make-the-filenames-the-titles/), we’ve done again the same thing for the build conference last week.
Simply go to the URL: http://buildwindows2012.peterkellner.net/ and follow the directions there (repeated below). Using DownThemAll (a firefox plugin), you can now download all the conference videos or just a subset. A new feature in this version allows you to just download the highest quality available of either MP4’s or WMV files. Since they are not tagged clearly in the RSS feed we are leveraging, the program takes the larges size file of each type for any given session.
Hope this helps! I personally love the videos and use them over and over.
