The Road To Batu Caves, Selayang:
This video shows you the way to the Batu Caves Temple via the MRR 2 from Taman Melawati, near Zoo Negara. You can also use the DUKE which exits around 5:60 on the video timeline. Millions of devotees and visitors congregate at Batu Caves during the annual Thaipusam Festival. Be prepared to walk miles from where you park. Start looking for parking space after Giant (7:19 on the video timeline). Like most Malaysian religious festivals, jaga kereta troops crawl out of the woodwork overnight to claim every inch of land within a 5-mile radius.

Playback Help: Mycen Videos are mostly presented in high quality widescreen 16:9 standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD), both in hi-fi stereo. By default, the embedded player here loads a standard quality resolution to accommodate users with slower connections. To switch to higher quality and clearer playback, click the HD or HQ toggle button on the bottom right of the player after pressing play. The button should appear once the video begins playing and will turn red when you hover over it. After clicking, it will remain in red. The transition to HQ or HD may take a few seconds. If things get stuck, just reload the page and try again.

Playing HD or HQ requires a reasonably fast internet connection and reasonably competent hardware for smooth playback. Firstly, let the player's pink loading line fill completely. If the video is still jerky when you replay after that, try closing other programs on your computer to free up resources. Even then, heavy Internet traffic during peak hours might still slow down some connections. If all else fails, simply revert to normal quality playback by clicking on the same button again.

In order to watch HD smoothly, you ought to have a newer version of Adobe Flash plug-in installed on your browser. Go here to download the latest version if your browser is not doing it automatically. Enjoy!
