Worked for me. I put in the whole link (ie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oamu81NJWI&search=bad1). Are you having trouble downloading it? Or playing it after the download completed?

Get an FLV player. For instance... this one:

To play this format "flv" and pretty much any other format such as "omg" and "iso" - use the VLC media player obtainable from the site below:

You might want to watch Jens Eriksson in action. His smash is textbook and highly exaggerated - making it easier to copy.

Ack, I wish I could speak Mandarin. There were some pretty subtle techniques being taught in those videos, but I miss all the words

The coach is probably from Guangzhou. He speaks with a very thick Cantonese accented Mandarian.

You can translate, then?

most part of the video you can actually learn from the demonstration done by the students and coach himself.

except the first video where he explained how to generate explosive power for hitting e shuttle. ( you will see him holding the head of the shuttle and pulling it in opposite direction). just note that before he does this action, the demonstration were more or the WRONG hitting and AFTER the action on holding his racket, the demonstration were the ones he hit correctly.

e part was most enlightening

Thanks -- that makes them much more practical; with the originals I could not skip from one part of the video to the other!

for those who are interested in flash video:i've found a program for flash (flv & swf) to any video format (avi, wmv, mpeg...mp4...etc) conversion, it's flash to video encoder
