Also... Microsoft Research announced on Wednesday that Mr. Gates, who purchased the rights to the videos privately from the Feynman estate, BBC and from Cornell University, in cooperation with Curtis Wong, a Microsoft researcher, has created a Web site that is intended to enhance the videos by annotating them with related digital content.

Thanks for the link. I'm really glad he's made this available on line. And at the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth, I wish it didn't require silverlight.

  Hopefully it will work with moonlight but somehow I doubt it. It's most likely for silly DRM reasons :(

  I wish the audio didn't have noise artifacts ("clicks") from SilverLight's encoding that make it a bit annoying to listen to after a while, and that Microsoft had listened to it after encodeing or would have been so kind as to fix after it was brought to their attention years ago.

  It's also on the Pirate Bay.

  What better way to preserve such a valuable educational resource for the future generations than wrapping it into a failed proprietary content platform designed to keep people from using the content!

    Did you find any DRM on the content or do you just like to whine?

  Try this from a Linux machine. http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/redirector.html http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/redirector.html I got the following 403 Error, which is kind of amusing. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /moonlight/redirector.html on this server. Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at www.go-mono.com Port 80

These are great. Not just the content but love how they are presented. I wish all the lectures in colleges were as rich an immersive as these.

The Microsoft project seems to only be the "Messenger Lectures" that Feynman gave at Cornell in 1964, not the more well-known Caltech lectures. They're still a fantastic watch and kudos to billg for putting up the money to obtain the rights. There are a ton of Feynman lectures on this YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FeynmanVideoLectures/videos http://www.youtube.com/user/FeynmanVideoLectures/videos although I'm unable to tell if they are authorized / legitimate. They've been up for 3 years, though, so presumably they would have been DMCA'd by now if they weren't.
