Download Soapbox Videos to Your PC & Zune

sarahintampa — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:09:00 GMT

Thanks to a new feature in Soapbox, the section of user-generated videos found here on MSN Video, you can now automatically download and sync videos to your PC and to your Zune. With this new option, you can subscribe to Soapbox videos by category, user video list, or via a search. That last option is especially helpful, as it will retrieve any videos relating to a particular search term and have them automatically sync to your PC. So, for example, if you wanted to see all the videos about Live Mesh, you could just search for the term live mesh and subscribe the results.

To see the subscribe option for the videos found via a search, click “view all results” and you’ll notice both an RSS icon for subscribing to the videos in your preferred RSS software as well as a “subscribe with Zune” button ( ) to have the videos added to your podcast subscriptions in your Zune software (which, by the way, is a free download – you don’t need to own a Zune to use it).

If you need access to the video files themselves, you’ll find them in the Zune/Podcasts folder. Michael Gannotti recently blogged about this to demonstrate how you could access his SharePoint videos from Soapbox, so we thank him for providing us with this excellent tip!

Soapbox Now on MSN Video

sarahintampa — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 17:17:00 GMT

Soapbox is now no longer a stand-alone site, but has been fully integrated into MSN Video beta. The integration is part of a refresh of the MSN Video site that brings several new features including a Video Showcase of videos of interest & the most watched videos, quicker processing speeds, new navigation, an expandable screensize, support for more codecs & extensions, updated RSS feeds that display Soapbox videos in feeds via an embedded player, and better sort filters for narrowing down your searches.

Search has also been improved on the new MSN Video, as it now a combines results for MSN Video, Soapbox User Videos, as well as web video results, all on one page. Now that Soapbox videos are available on MSN Video, you will see that "Soapbox User Videos" has its own tab in the upper-right, right there alongside the site's premium content offerings. When you're uploading a video to MSN Video, you have the option to make the video "hidden," a feature that will hide your video from the search results.

However, uploading videos doesn't have to be done on the website itself. With the tight integration of the Windows Live services, you can manage your video library in Windows Live Photo Gallery (yes, Photo Gallery!). A new feature in the latest version of photo gallery provides you with a "Publish" button that lets you easily upload your videos to Soapbox. Once uploaded, you can post videos to your blog, websites, or Live Spaces using Windows Live Writer and its handy "Insert from Web" option. (Via the Soapbox blog)

A l'heure de Web 2.0, la vidéo est de plus en plus présente sur Internet. Juste avant de partir en vacances, je suis allé voir l'équipe MSN et plus particulièrement MSN Vidéo, l'occasion de nous présenter ce service. Résultat en images.
