Check out MSDN's lab!

You might not have discovered it, so I'll point it out.  Here is a video of Jeremiah Andrick talking about MSDN Search and what we are trying to do to improve it.  He even shows you a demo of the development site, which you have access to (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com), and points out some of the features his group is working on.

Enjoy!

# re: Check out MSDN's lab!

I'm trying to watch the video downloads version of this, but the video stream is a bit broken. Each new slide that comes up flickers back and forth for a few seconds! The audio is fine but something's gone very wrong with the slide capture... I tried another episode and it was the same there. I'm using WMP10 on XP Pro SP2... anyone know if there's something wrong with these videos or if it's my machine?

I tried from work and home, and it plays for me - XP SP2 and MP 10 - have you had better luck?

Hi April, yes I've found a way to fix the problem. I have to switch from "Use high quality mode" to "Use overlays" in the advanced video options in WMP10.

Playing the file JeremiahAndrick_Demo.wmv clearly demonstrates the problem immediately... I noticed the codec was shown as "Windows Media Screen V7", which I don't recognise. These are the only videos I've ever played that exhibit this problem. My card's an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with the Catalyst 6.6 drivers - you might want to chase that up with them. I'll try newer drivers soon but they crash in some games for me so I'd rather not change right now.
