about 1/2 through the video the audio goes off by like 1/2 second to 1 second...

who ever re-encoded the video should've exported the audio and then reencoded it as a seperate audio source into the video instead of just re-encoded both audio and video from the same source.

The audio problem is not that big, you can still enjoy the episode.

BTW, Harry Web is 64 years old. He looks way too young.

Cliff Richar, what a dork...he's not british right? He has a strange accent, and it annoyed me and he wasn't even funny..

I'm sure he's British. He didn't seem that annoying.

Nice episode, pretty funny, with all of the, laughing for 40 mins or so. The blind guy was awesome, and its impossible to imagine how, he felt, speeding along at 40+ in a car, with no sight and the only guidance a - a mans voice, whom you hardly know - brave "blind man".
The porsche bit was funny as hell, and i think Jeremy's chair was a brilliant idea, looked good too....
Audio for me was also a little off, but mainly when the Cliff guy was speaking so he look pretty wierd, with just his lips moving and words coming later on.....

So... shall we just live with it or see if the video can be redone any better? Hell, the source may be off (this was made off of a 700 MB rip).

Id it's possible, please redo the video, then we can seed the correct one for a couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance.

No, the audio starts... slowing down I think (or is it speeding up?) and is off by like a second or so by the end of the video.

i'v d/loaded it (very quickly this week) and the audio was quite poor during the middle but not to the extent where i didnt get the usual enjoyment out of it. i think for the sake of the people who havnt got it yet, put it online again, and let the desperate people get the file and put a proper version on in coming days (no hurry images/smilies/wink.gif ) til then, please release the FG ep. i really wanna see it.

For me it slowed down horribly during the interview but wasnt too bad by the end.


Maybe I just got used to it. If it was redone I personally wouldnt redownload it.

the audio sync probem was a little annoying but overall that was a great episode. did not really care for the interview but the porsche challenge was cool. if it was recoded i would download it again but it is by no means a priority.

Out of sync audio is THE most irritating problem a video can have so
my vote: please re-encode the video or redo it or whatever.

It is worth the wait.

Never be satisfied with a job only half-well done.

I vote that the original capture be posted, even if it's a bit big. I'd rather they all be a bit bigger anyway. Failing that, I vote that the slightly broken one be re-enabled and then later replaced with a fixed one. Failing that, I vote that the broken one be re-enabled and we just deal. Obviously the people who've viewed it so far did not suffer neurological damage.
