That would be very nice if that would happen. After previous Wikimanias 
it was also anounced that the videos would come soon available.

Let's see after Wikimania 2009 how the videos of Wikimania 2008 are doing.

The problem is not the use of the Windows media format. I can play that. 
The problem is getting the files.
And getting the files is a problem because the are not presented as file 
to download. Also that these specific Windows media files seems to be 
badly encoded so that playback is not working good.
