Thanks goes to Ontwik for bringing these videos up again, but there doesn't appear to be any credit given to YUI Theater for bringing these to us. Given Yahoo's recent organizational troubles, I think it's important for developers to recognize the contributions they make to our community.

I already put the credits for Douglas Crockford at the bottom of videos, and now i puts the credits to YUI for every video .Thanks for your interest to mention about this

That's a great resource recommended to anyone who has to write any javascript.

There are two more lectures, sort of a series when put all together:

Advanced JavaScript http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=111585 (3 parts)

An Inconvenient API: The Theory of the DOM http://video.yahoo.com/watch/111582/992708 (3 parts)

This google tech talk is pretty good

Introduction to JavaScript and Browser DOM

I'd really like to download these and watch them on the go. What's the best way to get these from Yahoo Video?

Go to http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/theater/ Search within that page for "Douglas Crockford", you'll find direct download links for these and other videos by Doug.

In Safari you can click play on the video, open the Activity window (Cmd-Alt-A), then snag the URL the actual .flv file is being pulled from.

Could you paste the URL here? I tried finding the .flv file in the activity window, but I couldn't locate it.

Search for "Crockford" on the YUI Theater homepage. The videos are available for download in M4V format, along with zipped PowerPoint slides.
