I need to download the demo videos at my office so that I can view it later at home since I have slow internet connection there but it seems to be no way to download the videos at this site, and other resources in this site.

Using some of the Firefox addons to download them is not possible. Do you have any tips for me?

Please share.

ps. I'm looking for free/open-source solution. Thank you.

Microsoft movies are in Silverlight format. Orbit Downloader seems to be able to do it.

See:

Your suggestion is a virusl-containing software!? Please see the scanned report here on virustotal virustotal.com/file-scan/… – Nam G. VU Jan 18 '11 at 3:23
@Nam Gi VU: Orbit Downloader is a well-known product, downloaded hundreds of thousands times. The eSafe anti-virus engine has surely found a false positive. – harrymc Jan 18 '11 at 6:53
We still not sure if it is clean though :( However, I have installed it and love the feature when it suggest me with the update list of my current software. – Nam G. VU Jan 18 '11 at 19:26
I tried to use Orbit but Grab++ still cannot detect & help me to download the video which I want to download here cdn-smooth.ms-studiosmedia.com/msstudios/Project2010/…. Do you have any idea Harry? – Nam G. VU Jan 19 '11 at 7:11
I find it strange the Orbit can't detect the stream. Did you wait until the video really started? In any case, querying google for "download silverlight movie" gets several commercial products that you could try. – harrymc Jan 19 '11 at 15:45
