The blurb at the end contains the words 993 biturbo motor, so I would guess thats whats in the VW bus.

A VW bus with 500 bhp at only 1600 kg !! Talk about well hidden agenda..
Love the sound of the GT3. But it seems revving up between gears takes forever ??? I would have thought that free revving engine would hit the limiter in a few seconds, ready for the next cog. But maybe he is just having a bit of a Sunday cruise..taking in the scenery...letting pass busses etc..

People: Always save in .AVI format!!!!!!
Apparently this video (a .WMV file) won't play on any Windows Media version before 10 (nor any non-MS player). I guess this video features radically different media format(?) Read the EULA: -"there are occasions when Windows Media Player transmits unique, computer-specific information across the Internet" -"the online store’s software may run whenever you play, transfer, or burn content from that store, whenever you connect to or synchronize to a portable device, and any time that Windows Media Player is idle. At these times, your online store's software may ask you for information or may collect information automatically from your computer" -"The Buy CD, Info Center, More Info, and View Album Info features all send information requests to your online music store. If you are in a locale with no online stores, these features will send Web page requests to WindowsMedia.com." -the peeping-Bill/Steve list goes on..and on....

That's old, dead and a Microsoft proprietary format (not everyone uses Windows). Use a MPEG-4 derivative that scales from cellphone to HD beautifully, is more universally playable, is streamable and looks much better bit for bit. |

Yes much better, thanks for the correction it was late.
I had thought .avi was for Mac, but 3rd party players (such as Divx) will play them and they are good quality. WinMedia player seems to stop playing .avi's after a certain time and needs to "connect to the internet" for codex it already has. Last edited by john70t; 11-09-2006 at 07:01 AM.. |
