Stupid data paranoia, anyone who owns Lost Season 1 Ep1

in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
I just bought my 5G 30GB iPod and a TV show to go with it, Lost Season 1 Premiere [Pilot, Part1]. Does anyone else get a slight sound skip at 36:23? Can someone check for me?



I know this is absolutely anal and probably a waste of a topic, but I get seriously concerned that Apple doesn't error check their stuff when I'm downloading media from the iTMS. This kind of stuff is exactly why I hate owning media and would rather rent it, because I am so stupidly aware of every little flaw and it knaws at me.



I love my 5G by the way, although the blacks aren't exactly accomodating towards darker TV shows. I think they use cheap LCDs; if you stare really close you can see many tiny green "half" dead pixels, some more prominent than others. Nothing critical, just an observation (my iMac G5 has them too).

    Eh, as long as it's an official skip.8) Wonder if the DVD does it. Anyone else abnormally nuts about data integrity?



    PS: Is there any way to have videos that you've already watched remove themselves from the iPod after a sync? These things eat up a lot of space.

    A little prozac might help with that.

    Why not setup a smart playlist that only includes videos files with playcount 0, and have your iPod autosync with that playlist?

    I'm that way too! At least about music... I got into a very minor scuffle with Apple over an Arcade Fire track that had a beep and a skip just at the best part. They came through in the end.
