I've noticed when I try to skip the video ahead it always just ends the playback, regardless of what player I use. As far as I know, that is the only clip on which that is happening. Not really a big deal - just thought I'd mention.

That's the behaviour I got before Danielle fixed it. Skipping forward and backwards in the video is a test I do on the video files to determine wether they're completely downloaded or not.
I guess your browser still has the video file in it's cache and doesn't download it again.

Does your downloaded file have 480 MB (503.889.907 Bytes)?
If not, you could clear your browser's cache before downloading it again.
Some browsers skip the cache if you press shift while clicking on the download link.

Let us know if the problem continues.

I just downloaded and it won't play using a couple of different programs. I got the entire 480 MB (503,889,907 bytes) download. Here's a screenshot of the error from media player.

I downloaded it again and it works great now! I think, when I downloaded it after reading that she had uploaded the video again, I got most of the file but, for some readon, did not get all of it.

Thanks!

It sounds like the length of the video itself might be incorrect. I downloaded a video once that exhibited the same characteristics that have been mentioned here. Once I finally found a player that would play it, in this instance Media Player Classic, I noticed that the time counter of the video would go up to over 8 hours even though the actual video was only about 11 minutes long. This must have been causing the players to go out of sync. I don't know if this is what's happening here because I cannot download from Danielle's members area due to a different issue.

If someone does get it to play, please note the run time and see if it's correct. I eventually solved the video length issue by opening it up in Windows Movie Maker, "trimming off" the excess time at the end and saving it as an AVI.

For me it displays a time of 10:52 and plays to 10:48 (using VLC media player).

The file is in windows media 9 video codec and 9.2 audio codec.
From the looks of it I think you have the media player 10 or 11. Those should play the video without problems. Could there be an error on your hard disk leading to a corrupt file? Try downloading it again to another location and test that file please.

I downloaded the v070 again, and have no problems with it.

I just installed the VLC media player for tests. It seems to mix up the displayed video length of all the files I tried.

I had multiple problems trying to down load the file. Finally after about 5 or 6 tries it completed correctly and plays fine. As to VLC I don't think I've ever had that problem but I'll look for it in the future.

I see a 4 or 5 second difference between VLC and Windows Media Player 11. VLC sees things as slightly longer.

I am not having any problems with it. I am using windows media player ver 11.
The time lenght is 10:47. I can advance and backup.

Problem sorted as subscription updated, yup you have me for another 3 months and yup downloaded succesfully, eventually. WMP 11 says it's 10:48 whereas Windows itself says it's 10:47 but I ain't fussed.

Actually discovered that v069 was also truncated, think that's the technical term, but I will probably be corrected.
