A really creepy choice. You got it!

I have sadly to ask you to remove me from the magic window and free up section 10 (Love life among spiders).
I posted a query on "Need Help"; Tricia replied that I would be breaking Italian copyright by making a recording/copy of a work by an author who died less than 70 years ago.
There. Enjoy your nice project.
Best wishes.

We are sorry to see y ou go, but I'm sure there are many other projects that you can join without any problem. Thanks for trying! (Darn copyright laws!)

Here you go! Regarding the bit rate, the option to select 128kbs specifically was not available- thus, let me know if I need to redo this.

You need to change the options to "Constant" when exporting. Then you will have the option of 128 kbps. Obviously I need to redo the video on fixing your bit rate, eh? This must be a new thing.
EDIT: your volume is reduced but it is right on the edge of being too loud at 92.8 dB. Acceptable but a tad loud. Just for information.

Rich. I may have bitten off more than I can chew here. If you have the time would you acknowledge claims and put them into the MW, or let me know when I've overlooked some. My mind is already going in circles with so many sections and I'm distracte4d with stuff in real life. I forsee this project will have at least 50 pages of replies before it's through. Anyway, let me know if I am asking too much or if you have a better idea on how not to overlook sneaky claims and things.

May I read?
17. The Horned Viper Spears Other Animals
168 Bull-dog Animals
181. The Ferocious Weasel Snake

Did my request to read post get lost in forum (orig. post 1/28) ?

How about I shoot you a PM if you're missing any claims for sections? I can check in completed chapters as folks upload them and keep that part of the Magic Window up to date. As you recall I have my own mega-project cooking in the steamy jungles of Venus and that has my head swimming. OK?

Thank your! I will continue to acknowledge claims and if you could check in completed sections that woujld be a big help. You are a pal and a gentleman.
Oh, and Tom Corbett passed by on his way to more training and asked if his adventures on Venus are coming along well? Need any help there? I could do a voice or two.

Marie -

The opening silence in section 4 is too long. Ideally the silence before the first word is around 1/2 second but it should never be more than a full second. The section 4 opening silence is nearly 1.5 seconds. Please trim this down to about half a second and upload the section again. (Marked See PL notes for now.)

Section 5 is PL OK, thanks.
