Thanks but you misunderstood my point. The page senses it´s Linux and
points towards the right plug-in, Mono´s Moonlight, the Silverlight
clone for Linux.

Point is: I don´t have Mono in my system nor I want it or any plug-in.
I´d just want to grab the video URL and  download it.

I suspect just like Flash players use FLV files for video, Silverlight
might use some specific video format (wmv?).
