Amit — No, I don’t know of any good solution for you other than to play the video from a different (higher-speed) connection at the next opportunity. Sorry about that. All of the recent work on YUI Theater has download options, and the most recent stuff I’m posting in HD…but the source file for this one is no longer available. -Eric

thanks for your reply, Eric. Ok, can you think of anything that might help me… maybe some software you know abt that can rip off this video? …or probably, any way to contact someone from the shooting team; they just might have a copy to lend me :) …or, anything else.. the video seems to be quite popular and I don’t want to miss it… thanks for your help

Amit — I’m sorry for the bad experience you’re having. Unfortunately, this is one of the very few YUI Theater videos that I didn’t shoot and edit myself. The team that shot the video subsequently removed the downloadable version, and I don’t have a copy of it. My apologies. -Eric

I’m trying to watch this video probably over a bit slower network connection and am having a bad time. The video keeps breaking frequently for buffering and doesn’t buffer even 20 secs of continuous video at a shot. It’s impossible to watch the video with so many breaks. So, I left the video paused in the hope that it will buffer a bigger chunk that I can then watch comfortably, and it worked a couple of times but the video restarted during my third attempt to do the same. And guess what? On restart, it’s back to the buffering mode right from the start (nothing seem to have got cached on my machine) and my bad experience continues. The same happens when I rewind a bit in the hope to get a continuous feed. Is it possible to make this video available for download? Or at least host it on youtube so that people with slower connections can watch it better (youtube player does a good job caching the video locally – at least when I rewind, I get a continuous video of the overall buffered chunk)?
