It's not. One person with a vietnamese nickname uploaded all videos but only the first
part of about 4:57 minutes. Each lesson has almost 15 minutes.
I asked a friend in China to try and he can't load the video either.

Like lorinth said, i think it means "Failed to load basic video information."
视频 = video
基本信息 = basic information
读取失败 = failed to read
I don't know why it's not loading, maybe the video got removed for some reason.

Er, as far I can see, it is. I've just watched the full 15' of lesson one:

And I'm pretty sure there are others: while watching lesson 1, the right pane of the Youtube window suggests many others.
Maybe we're not talking about the same series? (such things happens: I believe CCTV has two series called "Happy Chinese")
[Edit] Indeed there are some "review" lessons that are cut after 3-5'. Many "normal" lessons are available in full, though.

Only the first 20 lessons are available in full, from the user ChineseCorner.
The remaining lessons are available from a viet, but that person only downloaded the
first part of the video, which usually has 3-5'. If you want to download the full video,
you have to manually select the other two parts, in case you are using a Chrome
extension, for example. yuhakko explained this to me and I tried it myself.

Hey folks,
I'd like to sign up for the 2014 Chinese team.
I started Mandarin back in Sept and haven't really got especially far but have recently
felt inspired to continue again with renewed vigour.
One small mention: I have been living in China since October.
Pleased to meet you all and best of luck!

This is quite late to be signing up for a TAC team, and I guess the decision is up to our team leader! But I have no
issues with a late entry if others are ok with it!

I wouldn't have any problem with it either.
I have another question for the team leader: was there a decision on what the challenge for February is? We had explaining a character and translating a song, and i'm not sure which one of those is the challenge now.

I came to the conclusion that it's just not as effective for me to learn two languages at once. Thus
I'd like to ask to change my status to an observer, at least for the next few months. Sorry for the
trouble.
I guess it'll make a new place for the potential new member though :)
