If you open the page source and look for ".flv" you should find the url pretty easily, they
aren't obfuscated like on youtube... Still, you'd expect open formats and download links on
something called the "linux foundation".

If I remember correctly, the FLV format was opened by Macromedia a few weeks ago. Of course, it will take time until it ends up in the free part of the distro of your choice.

The videos should be playable by anything that can use ffmpeg... so media players based on
mplayer, gstreamer and xine will work.

me too

Yup, lack of a direct link annoys me too.

(and when I do play the .flv with mplayer, the video is way faster than the sound.)

The UnPlug Firefox extension allows you to download most embedded video.
