For some reason, my Podcast in iTunes isn't showing the new episode (it did show the earlier 739 MB one, but it disappeared). I had to go to the iTunes Store page for the Podcast feed and download it manually. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

The one I managed to download seemed just fine. Unfortunately Time Machine never spotted the file so I can't tell you the size of the good one. Does iTunes modify downloaded podcasts in any way? It says "Processing" briefly, just like it does with purchased/protected music. -- Chris

Audio OK, video stutters after about one minute, dropping to about one frame every two seconds. I thought that file seemed suspiciously small. Earlier ones were in the order of 650 MB per hour. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz |
