Ok, first attempt at grabbing the video - sorry the audio goes a little out of sync, and it's quite large (10Mb.. sorry modem peoples! I'll try and shrink it or do a smaller version in a minute though).
If you can't play it, let me know - it's using the Indeo video 5.10 Compression Filter for video and MPEG Layer-3 for audio, which I think come standard with everything from Media Player 7 onward.. but I could be wrong.
Please, right click and Save As s;) ;) s;)
Mk1 vs Mk3, 10Mb, 1min 15s (http://www.mind-design.demon.co.uk/mk1-vs-mk3.avi)
Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo vs Nissan 350Z, 6Mb, 45secs (http://www.mind-design.demon.co.uk/z32-vs-z33.avi)
Ok, I put the Nissan one up too, just coz I own a 300ZX s;) ;) s;)
[edit] Here's a smaller version of the MR2 video;
Mk1 vs Mk3 without the chit-chat, 2.8Mb, 20secs (http://www.mind-design.co.uk/mk1-vs-mk3-small.avi)

Did anyone else have trouble getting WMP to run this?

No, worked just fine. What version do you have..?
8. I can't seem to get AVI to work in that, Quicktime or WinAmp. I've just downloaded and tried them all.
Maybe you need to install the Indeo codec...?

So terribly wrong.
Black isn't a colour at all.
It's the lack of colours.
Black things, like holes, they just suck s8) 8) s8)

WD - Have you managed to view it yet?
It works on media player v6.4 too (the old basic one)
Thanks Aaron, well worth watching s:D :D s:D

Ah, you're right, didn't think of that...
(I did save it after watching it though s8) 8) s8) )
Well i've seen it before, but it then became a mission for me to view it as my PC didn't like it, it became my life's work kinda thing. Then I got sweepy and went ooh bwed.
Quote from: "jonboy"silver is the fastest not suckass black.
well silver is just a dirty white, and quite plainly got whipped by the mighty black!!
How did you grab that from tape? Video in to a tv card?
Quote from: "Chris"How did you grab that from tape? Video in to a tv card?
Yup - just an old Hauppauge WinTV PCI card via the aerial (it's not even a decent card with S-Video in!).. I really must get something better as a TV card/capture card..
I still can't get it to work even with WMP9... hmm...
Very strange indeed - just tried it at work (WMP9, Win2k pro) and it worked here too.
What OS are you running btw?
same here - w2k sp4 with wmp 9.00.00.3008 (with the system update)
and it plays fine. Doesn't work in quick time 6.3 though...
XP with WMP9. No luck, god knows why.
Quote from: "WoodenDummy"XP with WMP9. No luck, god knows why.
God knows why indeed, I ran them this morning on my workstation here in the office... NT4 with WMP6.0 and no soundcard!
Quote from: "WoodenDummy"No luck, god knows why.
Maybe God didn't make you to watch drag races...
Ever had trouble opening a video of twisties? s;) ;) s;)

Wicked. Although a rather pointless exersise...
This episode of Top Gear will be repeated on UK Horizons at 10pm this Wednesday...........
........or maybe next Wednesday if I have got the weeks wrong.
According to my guide, this week is;
Motoring magazine featuring news on the latest cars, presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Jason Dawe. Jeremy goes on manoeuvres in a Hummer, the off-roader based on the US military's jeep. Footballer Graham Le Saux nominates his greatest car. Alan Davies is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car. (Premiere, Subtitles)
And next week is;
Motoring magazine with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Richard and James test the latest new convertibles, while Jeremy puts the Nissan 350Z through its paces. Supermodel Jodie Kidd is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. (Premiere, Subtitles)
Hmm - I haven't watched the rest of the programme on the video yet, so not sure which of those two it is..
those are both REALLY old eposides from the last series.
Quote from: "krisclarkuk"those are both REALLY old eposides from the last series.
That's one that puzzles me. Last week I watched a repeat of one aired just before Christmas.
me too.... maybe they are just having a bad week and mixed up all the tapes! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Quote from: "krisclarkuk"me too....
You too what? Puzzled or watched a recent repeat?
both - watched a recent one on what i thought was UK Horizons.

Not sure if its true, but it took 'em 4 attempts for the Mk3 to
win :o)
Would've been nice if they could've got a Mk2 there aswell!
Nice! s:D :D s:D
