oops --
I was describing the first ep for UtM (Under the Mountain) there
(which btw is in NTSC format).
I just watched the first mkv ep of CotDS (PAL) with VLC here,
everything on it looked & sounded good here.
A third thing to check is to be sure the par2 checksums match,
let it do any repairs as needed, y'know the usual usenet things,
etc.
