The Dojo Build 101 video starts up & shows just fine for me — thanks for putting it together — but the 201 video doesn’t start at all (initial screen shows up, but video won’t stream). Is this a problem for anyone else?
Looking forward to seeing this soon though….

Hmm, haven’t been able to get this to play, just hangs on the quicktime symbol. Is there any other documentation on the css build process available? I’ve been searching and haven’t come up with much. Screencasts like this are neat, but useless when they don’t play, and, IMHO, moderately less useful than Good Old Text.

@travis: The CSS importing thing is an undocumented feature (relic) of Dojo 1.1 … This video is more or less a first pass at explaining it. While undocumented, and partially unsupported, it works, and and very easy to use. It is touched on in a number of “Good Ole Text ™” formats, but there is no formal documentation for its use. There are scattered reports of this video not working, but we’ve been unable to find the cause. Any AV hackers out there are welcome to assist, as we are lowly JavaScript coders, and simply trying provide information.

I haven’t been able to play this video. It crashes the browser in IE 7 and Firefox 3 in Windows XP Pro. When I try to download it and play it locally, I can see the video in the Quicktime player, but no audio. I get an error when trying to convert to other formats using various tools. I can extract the audio track and it plays, but no sound. Help — I really, really want to know how to reduce the number of CSS calls when using a custom Dojo build. Thanks!
