So just doing season 6 and this episode is proving problematic:
https://archive.org/details/CC601_macworld
The MPEG2 version doesn't render in Media Player Classic - although I hear it plays without audio in VLC
The MP4 version (you can stream this) plays, but is out of sync.
Any easy way to fix this?
A long time ago I had downloaded several of these episodes, so I checked.
Turns out I have this file. The filename includes the word "repaired" and VLC can play and seek it without any apparent issue. It reports the play length as 28:02, not the 28:21 that's shown on the web page. By comparing with the embedded player on that web page, I think the difference is that my copy cuts off during the credits. The audio ends at 28:02 and goes mute, and that's when my copy ends.
The size of my file is 1.23GB, not the 1.9GB shown on that page. I don't have any memory of what I did with this file to fix it. Maybe I re-encoded it? It's even possible it wasn't me who fixed it.
My best guess is that the audio "glitch" at ~28:03 might have had something to do with the problem, and so it was re-encoded with that cut out of the file.
My internet sucks, especially uploading, so I'm not sure it would be feasible for me to somehow share this file. I'm guessing re-encoding was involved, since my file shrunk somehow.
VLC reports this for the codec info:
Video: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv) 720x480 29.970030fps Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Audio: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52) Stereo 48000Hz 192kb/s
Does that match what it says for the version you downloaded?
