Sorry if the archive quality is a bit lower on the HD on this one, we had some...issues with our show archive.

Yeah Vinny, just archiving them in the first place is amazing anyway, so no worries about the quality man!

Indeed he does. Keep it up good sir.

No audio for the first 3 minutes, on high quality anyway. I remember there being audio during this part on the stream.


Edit: actually its not no audio, it's a 3 minute delay between the audio track and the video.

Damn, 2m41s out of sync. VLC will only do up to 99 seconds of synchronization :(

Should really learn to read the comments first.

I have two VLC windowns open, with the same file playing in both. The audio is turned all the way down on the one I want to watch, and the second, with the audio turned up, 2m41s behind the other minimized to the tray. It is workable, although crazy.

edit - it seems to get more out of sync as it goes on. I guess this files is totally unworkable then. :/

edit 2 - No, I got it now. Perfect actually. Damn, this is hard work :P


edit 3 - I CANNOT PAUSE OR MY WORK WILL BE UNDONE. I NEED TO PEE

Hopefully it's a problem with the encoding and not a problem with the actual hard drive versions.

Totally watching this in two windows - one with a 3 minute delay as the audio option which watching a muted video. It works. Barely.

@tinodz:  You can tweak the audio timing settings in VLC though... only one window needed, and pausing would still work fine.

I completely remember watching wrestling style monster truck tv thing when I was really young. One of the monster trucks was called grave digger and the driver looked like a grim reaper.

@Fbomb: You can't tweak the audio enough.

It "only" goes +/- 100 seconds.

Edit. 
Disregard that, if you use the hotkeys you can tweak it more.

I'll check this out when I get to the office in a bit, but it will be awhile before a fix  recompresses and makes it to the site.

AUDIO DESYNC SOLUTION: Go download VLC. Install it. Open it. Go to preferences, click Audio on the left. Find the 'audio desync compensation' field, change that to "-157000" hit save and then go open the file. The audio should be synced.

Edit: Hey Vinny, view my user page so I can get the achievement!

So apparently Vinny's eye troubles have resulted in a three minute visual delay. Inconvenient!

Hoop jumping, hoop jumping... oh wait, 'nuther hoop. Just made it! I've got this VLC thing. I see no "preferences" anywhere in its window. I assume I need to download this video now (more hoops!). Then open it in VLC. This entertainment is feeling a lot like work. Wait. Another hoop coming! Late.
