Is there any way to download videos from fosslc.org without going through the whole "flash video downloader xtreme plugin+++" rigamarole?

I think that it is somewhat ironic that a website that says that it "Promote[s] open standards and interoperability" ( http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/about ) doesn't use a more open standard/format for the presentation of its videos...



Ogg format if you prefer to flv: http://blip.tv/file/get/Fosslc-20100513__1604__DMS_1120__Col...

This has been posted a few times on HN, so just do a site search to get the previous comments.


This is only vaguely related.

I built a HTPC using Boxee. I installed the official Boxee "Watch Later" bookmarklet. So when I clicked through to that page to see the video, all I had to do was click the "Watch Later" bookmarklet and it found the video in the page, and sent a link to it to my boxee account. When I get home, the video will be in my incoming feed on my HTPC. All I'll have to do is click it to watch it. Neat system.


Not the most elegant solution, but the VideoDownloadHelper add-on for Firefox is able to snatch it without a problem.
