No problem. I got the updated files before you removed them.

Your section on T'Bone's site looks great. Look forward to more installments.

Yep! I'm amazed someone actually noticed this. I am on a dialup connection, so it's often hard to get files this big uploaded properly, and quickly. In the case of part 2, the upload crashed just as it was finishing. Since basically all of the file was there, I chose not to reupload in this case.

I can't download it myself, so does it actually look corrupt?

I doubt you've actually missed anything - the clip should end with Vader's aide talking to him as they walk down the hallway, with a caption about Kurosawa's classic "The Hidden Fortress."

Unfortunately, it does look corrupt -- the screen freezes and pixelizes and you miss most of the final scene with Vader and his aide (although you can still read the caption). The corruption starts at time code 4:31 and the counter continues to 4:35 (so it appears the last 4 seconds are gone). The last thing you can hear is "Holding her is dangerous...", then the audio cuts out too.

Anyway, I know it can be tough with a dial-up connection, but if you get the chance to re-upload, it would be great.

Thanks again for your work!

(24.5 megs)

Very nice work so far! An obvious result of much time and care spent on your part.

Could you please check on Part 2? It appears that the end of the clip is possibly corrupt. Perhaps from an incomplete upload? I know you mentioned in another post that this clip had been revised.

Your previous post refers to a file size of 24.5MB but the downloaded file is only 24.2MB. I sure don't want to miss anything!

Anyway, keep up the good work.
