If you use Google or Live Search you should find articles, blog posts, tutorials, or walkthroughs that cover the same material as the videos.

Just a couple examples from my videos. One (that has yet to be published) was based on this walkthrough:

Walkthrough: Collecting Data Using a Windows Form (msdn2.microsoft.com/.../f1wckde0(VS.80).aspx)

Another was based on this article:

Getting Started with Windows Communication Foundation (msdn2.microsoft.com/.../bb736015.aspx)

In the future I'll try to mention a reference or two to external text resources at the end of my videos.

I don't know about others, but I am starting to become annoyed with the proliferation of videos on MSDN. I'd love to actually get the content of this and other videos in a transcript, or written form. The videos take too long to watch, are not searchable, and can't be copied into a document to use as a reference. I miss the days the MSDN used to post it's weekly technical articals right on the front page as they were published. It seems everything is being pushed into a video format and I'm losing a lot of the value I used to get from MSDN. There are many things posted that I would like to check out, but I just can't deal with the videos.
