PDC2010 download videos

Is there any way of i can get the links of the videos easily?

What I usually do is copy all the links of the sessions I'm interested and download them using a download manager.

I can't do that right now, I can't right click in the SilverLight player, if i click the link in IE automagically opens the media player, if i click the link in Firefox opens a new windows and then asks me with what application i want to open the file.

All I want is a freaking link so I don't have to be in front of the computer while I download the videos.

What I ended doing was start downloading in Firefox and copy the link from there to my download manager (downloading the keynote will last 16 hours, that's why I want a download manager)

Yes, it is a bit frustrating but if you click on the link it will open in a browser window before launching media player (at least it does with IE9) this gives you a chance to copy ther url and paste into Free  Download Manager.

We need a Silverlight 'Save As' option guys ..

Looks like it is downloading something ..picked up the URL for "CD07_High.mp4" as

My connection is painfully slow so I cannot see what is being downloaded yet though ...

 EDIT: here is a better source:

@nic:Yep, on http://player.microsoftpdc.com/Schedule/Sessions all is good but on http://player.microsoftpdc.com/Schedule/Index the experience is not so.

@Ian2:nice, this is exactly what i wanted

Anyone know where the odata feed is and if it has video links in it?

@Dan: Awsomeness! 

I'd like to watch all of the Campus Tour videos. I wonder if they'll show up on C9 or be available for download sometime?

http://odata.microsoftpdc.com and yes, it does include the video links.

 

Greg Duncan already went through the trouble of building a one-page summary of all the session download links that is sure to be handy

Aha
I figured they would.

@dentaku: They will be. We're going to start publishing soon.

I know this might piss off the Microsoft fanbois who never had the opportunity, but I have been on Microsoft's campus multiple times. And I assure you it consists almost entirely of boring office buildings with equally boring offices. I find that the most interesting thing on the whole Redmond campus is in fact the "the Mixer", which is some sort of central food court.

And I don't think Channel 9 has secrat access to the GIANT LASER OF DEATH that Ballmer and Gates is secretly holding in building 7.

What about Poophenge?

Poophenge? Okay, that sounds interesting.
