    It was stopped while I was watching this video clip. I don't know the reason why. I'll be finished after I ask one more thing. Can I get this presentation's ppt file? Thanks.

    Hello. Sorry about the technical problem, I'll have someone look into it and get back to you. For the .ppt you should ask the authors - David's email is on the devjam.biz site.

    Hi YoungHyun, have you tried restarting it and forwarding to the spot where it previously stopped and resuming from there? There are many reasons why a video might stop, but you can still restart and resume.
