It seems many of you have a problem with silverlight (not really sure why, I can't see a philosophical difference between that and Flash and I personally haven't ever run into any technical problems with it).
You have to admit though, that interface is awesome. When I first saw this last night, I was impressed - the subtitles expand into the full transcript, the extras fluidly work with the video while it is playing, and it seems they had some bandwidth issues in the first few hours and during that time smooth playback was in effect, and although the video would hiccup at those points (rarely), the audio was smooth and I liked that.
Really, the only thing I can think of to complain about is that when you full screen it, the background is white. For media, black seems to work nicer on the eyes.
A wonderful interface, high quality video and audio, and of course the content - Feynman - is just wow ... I'm a very happy person right now....although I was up pretty late watching these videos, and so I'm a very happy tired person right now....
