It's a neat idea, but I wish they'd just put the normal controls on the video. I couldn't read the text fast enough to take it in along with the voiceover, there's no ability to rewind if you miss something, and there's no indication of how long the whole thing lasts or whether you'll be able to replay it when it finishes. It sounds like I missed out on something interesting that happens later, but I gave up in frustration after a minute or two, and I expect I lasted longer than a lot of people will.

Thanks, but the video file alone loses the context that is intended. In particular, you can't see the other information that is overlaid in the intended presentation.
I think this is a pretty good demonstration of combining video and non-video information, but it also demonstrates a significant weakness of doing that if you aren't careful about how to synchronize data from the different sources.
