G. | That'd be great - I'd prefer to have the downloads for the site rather than referencing something external that might change.

Cheers, | Hey, take your time, its no rush. The Wheeler Dealer files are a bonus - thanks a bunch.
Congrats on the newborn - I've been there twice myself so I understand the impact - so take your time - and thanks again. _________________ 924.org (no time to complete)

Thanks guys!
Yup spot on Roger - also is why my poor toofah still has half the front hanging off - have I mentioned I hate the GT-Racing light setup? It's a real POS
Found the Wheeler Dealer vid - it's currently a 450MB MPEG file... prolly a bit much to upload anywhere so will have a play at converting it into something a little more friendly.

Is there anyway to save the top gear episodes to hard drive, I want to burn it to DVD... seems as though its all live streaming.

There are services that allow this sort of ripping from Youtube... however they seem to get shutdown pretty quickly...
http://vixy.net/ is one that's still kicking...
Note the quality will be pretty dodgy... certainly not DVD quality...

I have the top gear thing on DV tape somewhere (I work at the BBC) but it'd be in PAL format. May be able to convert it to NTSC for you US chaps and burn a DVD but won't be able to test it... _________________ 1998 BMW Z3 2.8 arctic silver & red

Yes, Khal does
skemcin, you're welcome to a copy but it's about 700MB. A touch much for streaming or whatever, no? _________________ '80 924 Turbo |
