    The video fails halfway through and skips back to the beginning. I would love to see the entire content!

    E, I can't replicate this problem. I can scroll to any point in the video and it plays fine. Try forwarding the video time index to just after it seems to stop for you?

  3. The recording picked up a lot of auxiliary sounds from perhaps mostly disinterested staffing?/on-lookers? half way through the video. The noise they make really take away from the video. Can someone please recut the video to get rid of those annoying audio channels?
