Talk:Radiohead "Let Down" Partially Lost Music Video (1997)/@comment-10079197-20130926033156/@comment-24695987-20140408204943

I think it's due to the way QT native formats work, I've even encountered this trying to play audio from an incorrectly printed disc, specifically, a copy of New Order's Substance, the US Release. Disc 2 was faulty, and Shame of the Nation and 1963 both reported times of 4:29 and 7:29, though both officially ended at 7:54 and 5:35.

I had to manually set endpoints to get either track to play correctly.

So, the technical answer, I think, is that the video was officially 3:13, but due to the bad formatting, or being an incomplete/corrupted download, it only plays until 2:28.
