Been trying to get around to dealing with this for several days now. I dl part2 and vlc said it could fix it, and played it. Got busy with other issues, wanted to try it with super on a school laptop, but that hasn't made it in from my back seat since last Tuesday. Don't have super installed here. Those files are the only existing copies afaik. Curtis may have a copy stashed somewhere on a cdr but I think he said no years ago. All my network got stolen 21 months ago so I lost major quantities of files including any copies of these videos. Anywaze, if you know how to fix the problem send me fixed files and I'll gladly replace the posted ones. Otherwise, I might get to it soon, soon being relative.

Hello all,
Recently arrived lurker emerging here because we're on a topic I can actually contribute to :-)
I too had the issue with the second file, but had no issue with the first one. Given the first file works, I don't think it's a codec problem: it's more likely to be that the files were corrupted when they were being uploaded to the webspace ~ the "broken" error is a typical symptom of this.
If you use a MD5 hash check on the original files, and again on the downloaded files and compare the hash it'll tell you if there's a difference in them (if they're identical they'll have identical hash values) - and, if there is, the difference will be the corruption, causing the files to break in VLC
There is a selection of free applications to do this with @ http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/free-md5-sum-tools.shtml
Alternatively, perhaps try uploading the broken files again or uploading to a different webspace.
Regards,
Blake

Yeah, it's a codec thing. Unfortunately I can't tell you which one. All four of them work here.
Curtis' camera had proprietary software and they need to be converted some standard format. If anyone wants to do that and send me copies I'll be happy to provide web space for them. Assuming Curtis is cool with it, of course.
