While doing a codec verification of these files in MediaInfo, I noted
that this file Does Not have an audio track. Not a silent one, but no
audio track at all contained in the multiplexed .avi file. When I
tried to play it in VLC, it wouldn't play and jammed up VLC player.

Just a word to those burning these into backups for yourself. Check it
out and skip backing it up. The original file from 2012, BTW, seems to
be equally damaged.

No complaints, of course; with everything else included with these
Horizon uploads, I won't find fault over one damaged file.

And thanks again, for uploading this outstanding flood.

Herb Thymebaum
