I don't mind a good cliffhanger.

But it's really, really annoying when you have the next episode downloaded, but you can't watch it because the sound and visual tracks refuse to match up.

If only it weren't such a GOOD cliffhanger!

*tears hair out*

OMG that's great! Your frustrated icon is the Windows symbol! I love it! HAHAHA

What program are you using to watch Pretear? On some you can manualy adjust the timing to match up properly. And no tearing hair out. Very bad. Very, very bad.

Cliffhangers are evil. I am currently rather annoyed with Escaflowne, because there cliffies are so good. I haven't bothered watching any more of the series yet, just because I don't want to deal with them...and I know what happens! I hope that makes some sense.

Mars also has evil cliffhangers...and I need to wait until I have something at least resembling funds before I can get the next issue.

But, for your problem, have you tried all your media players? And if so, do you have VideoLAN. It is a really good player for playing things that nothing else will. DivX is also good.

The DivX player couldn't recognize the video (because this makes so much sense...), but Windows is playing it when it feels like it. I ended up just suffering through episode ten slowly, hitting the stop button and finding my place again everytime the two tracks went out of whack.

Half way through the last episode. OMFG is it good :P And I SO know what happens next! Ha!
