IMHO, that is what this list is for.  I could be wrong.

Could you point me at the sit where you're getting the data?  My bet is that
there is still something wrong with this step.

If the metadata in your working file isn't right for the broken ones, you

The only time I have ever seen the compression/random access deal has been

I would like to take a look at your info.txt file and a few representative
maps.
