Edit needed on Astronomy program

Last week, I uploaded Wonders of Astronomy- Galaxies to VMX. Unfortunately, I just realized that there is 18 minutes of video that doesn't belong at the end of the show. The correct TRT should be 00:30:49, not 00:47:53, as is listed n the "Duration" field. If your master control system allows you to put an out point on MPEG files, then you should do that at 00:30:49. Alternatively, you can cut the file if you have an MPEG editing application. Otherwise, if you would like me to re-upload the file I can do that. Please just let me know if you need me to do that.

So...what happened, you may ask? We record studio shows onto DVCAM tape, and we use these tapes over and over. A show that was previously recorded on that tape comes on immediately following the Astronomy program, and the timecode mistakenly included that extra program. One might assume that in the digital age these errors don't occur anymore, but we are living in a hybrid of analog and digital and, for the most part, it works well. Sadly this time a human error fell through the cracks.
