Well, you kinda did, but I forgive you. ;) As I have said in many ways in many places, I'm just upping what I got to up. Like he has said, this is it until the DVD-9. So...not much I can do about it other than do as he has asked, which I have done.

I added a fairly detailed explanation at the beginning of the torrent page for the benefit of Noiders who just won't "get it" otherwise:

"*NOTE: THE VIDEO QUALITY IS NOT VERY GOOD. That is because this is a working draft copy. I am only helping to distribute it and have nothing to do with the edit itself. It is nearly 4 hours long, which partially accounts for the artifacts. The full DVD-9 is planned to be released around December and of course will be of excellent quality both video and audio-wise. For now, this version is merely presented to give people an idea of what the editor is going for and for people to make suggestions on changes that could be made to the story and such. Thank you.*"

Only one comment there so far, saying "no video." I suggested he try another program or maybe he needs some new codec to play it.

And yes, I do have a better version that he sent me just because I'm helping, but again, I'm just doing as he has asked and he knows my--and our--concerns. ;)
