The Mutant Enemy Production office was raided by a team of unknown assailants today and scenes from the Firefly season premiere, 'The Train Job', was captured on video and taken off the premises.

"They came and mounted their camera right in front of the editing machine," said a staff member who does not want to be identified. "It was crazy. These guys just appeared out of nowhere as if by magic and before I knew what was going on, they literally went poof and was gone."

Coincidentally, some time later, I received a tip that the stolen scenes have appeared on the following website.

Did anyone else have problems with the sound on the large movie?

I'm trying the small one now to see if that's any better.

I always run into problems viewing the embedded Quicktime. I find that I have less problems if I just download the video and then watch it.

Just do a save target on this:

Already tried that and it didn't help.

Also tried upgrading to the latest version of Quicktime - still didn't help. I will try it on another machine at work tomorrow.

What sort of problems?

The sound is un-mastered I think so its all over the place anyway, none of the volumes are right.... Otherwise I had no trouble with it.

The sound was stuttery, all chopped up. I could make out the odd word but that's all.

Plays ok at work though.

So I don't know what's going on.

I'm not all too fond of this scene... but this could be because I've seen the promo with that scene in it so many times. Meh, what can you do?
