There is one .m2ts (0004.m2ts) file that contains the main feature, which is used by all three playlists and it's missing those first 6 seconds. This means it's not a technical issue with the seamless branching that's causing players to skip footage, it's a case of the footage not even being there to begin with. I guess technically they could still blame the seamless branching as without it this error would have less likely occurred, but it's a more of a 'oops, we messed up the mastering/encoding' thing. |
It does worry me that seamless branching appears to be the scapegoat here (rather than QC), especially given its benefits. I was a little sad to hear someone from Arrow mention in e-mail to someone on another forum they would be staying clear of it in the future.
