However, they looked too good to pass up. So I decided to install it in a virtual machine that could be deleted when I was done. I've watched the first three so far and they are very very good. I also noticed that Silverlight allows note taking and real time links (only in the first video so far). So, while I wish these were downloadable in a format I could watch off line in VLC, it was worth installing Silverlight in a VM.

I'm pleased to see this material made more accessible, but to be universally accessible it would need to be put on the net in a format that anyone can run, on what ever platform they run. YouTube would be better than silverlight given the penetration of flash, but even better would be putting them online using HTML 5 tag... Agreed.
