Argh, how horrible, but how lovely you want it on your iPod. :)

I redownloaded the version that's on my website and tried it in VLC and it worked fine for me, so I tentatively suggest the issue is at your end? Maybe the file didn't download properly? Try downloading a fresh version and then if there's still an issue, I can try re-encoding it for you or temporarily uploading the original (biiiiig) .mpeg file?
