The following movies are available from other sites on the Internet. The links lead to pages from which the actual movies can be loaded. Note that all previous links to Microsoft Research pages have been removed since the movies are no longer available there, but now most are available at Google Video (streaming with a Flash based player which I tested on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. This replaces the previous custom Windows-only special player based on VLC).
