How to Download Videos From Mediasite
This is a video by video process. There are two download options: Publish to Go and Vodcast. The Publish to Go option downloads separate video files as MP4s and all associated Mediasite files, which is good for video editing on your own computer. The Vodcast option is a single MP4 file that combines both video feeds (if two exist) into one video showing in the Mediasite format, but it does not allow for the same video interactivity.
