I take all of the shorts and put the wmvs on a thumb drive so I can watch them on my TV through my Xbox. For whatever reason, this short refuses to play correctly. It quits about 6 or 7 minutes in. Just stops dead. When I try to watch it on my laptop, I get the same thing. I can't skip to certain points, it readjusts itself to a point it feels is near what I want. I have every short made (so far) and this is the only one that's ever given me any trouble. Ideas or suggestions?

If you want the rainbow you've got to put up with the rain. You know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. A people say she's just a big pair of tits.

Maybe your download was incomplete or corrupted. I would try downloading it again and see if it works.

I kept gettin incomplete rars of Voodoo Man too. Kept downloading those until I got complete files. Unfortunately, here I have downloaded it five times and the final file size matches what I should have according to my library. I'm pretty darn sure it's a source thing, but I wanted to make sure.

I just downloaded the WMV and get the same errors you do.

I download the MPG and MP4 versions (since I'm on a Mac), and both of them play out to the end.  The short is just about 12 minutes long, if you count the rifftrax-credits tacked on the end.
