WordGirl Shorts

Before going on to the normal post, I should say that I updated the episode 2x23 post to include the commercial I didn't encode the first time along with the descriptive audio track. Unfortunately, the descriptive audio track has an error or two in it, so it doesn't sync up well with the encode I have up.

I noticed the WordGirl website is missing the original shorts. So I decided to upload them. I was only to get the first 20 from TV, I can't seem to find the last ten since they did not air with "Maya and Miguel". However, I was able to get the original files from the WordGirl website a long time ago, but I forgot to save the links. Those files are actually small FLV files. You can use a program like the free FLV Player found here to play them: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/flv-player/

First, I encoded the shorts like I normally do, but since they're so small I put 1x01 to 1x10 in one RAR archive and 1x11 to 1x20 into another. The subtitles are also included in a separate RAR archive. Below the links I will include a tinypaste link to the episodes list. As usual, the MD5 Checksums will be there as a way to verify the files and to see what I put in those RAR archives. You can use RarZilla Free Unrar to extract the RAR archives, link here: http://www.philipp-winterberg.de/software/rarzilla_free_unrar.php
