Good to have it here
It is good to have it here, since it can disappear of the frontpage.
Also, some people (like me) hadn't watch it all.
Finally, most people don't even pay attention to the bytesize player, and this a chance for them to watch it.
I think that for the portal, you should have modified the bytesize so that it loads everything before it starts. That way, everything could be seen without the loading pauses.
