Any chance you can lose this or at least add a direct link. I used to like just clicking the link and watching in media player, as I could have it float on top of all my other windows.

Hmmm.. a case of "fixing" one bug and creating another. A bug was filed quite some time ago that a user was unable to download the media files and we discovered that that was because they were left clicking on the links instead of right clicking. So that prompt was added... Maybe you could add your request to the Connect site and see how many people vote it up?

@Cara9: I think a better solution would be to make the "right-click to save as" text permanent, but still let users stream the lower bitrate files in their media player of choice. The prompt now seems to be blocking left clicks altogether.

@spivonious: True, that would work. To be fair, that text is there if you hover over the Download (?) but that wasn't enough because the testers still filed a bug on it
Maybe it could fit just under the Download heading and that would make it more obvious...@PerfectPhase: You can still watch the videos by right clicking the link and select "open in a new tab/window" but I'm not sure that will launch your media player of choice - or will it?

Ok, you guys win
You should be able to left click the links to watch the videos now.
