Too little time talking about the IS and the mod's needed to make it function properly and too much talking about magnetic shocks, drifting, and a bunch of ancillary topics.

I loved the way that IS430 sounded though and sure would love the opportunity to buy such a car (ARE YOU LISTENING LEXUS?????)
you are not the only one. read the related thread i the car chat forum, i was a bit disappointed too. to me it's nothing much more than saying "take the i6 out, put the v8 in" without giving any more details

I recorded the show on my tivo and have a All-In-Wonder 9700 video card. If it's ok... I can download it and divx it if anyone missed it and want's to see it.

I am dumping it to my computer right now from the tivo. It's gonna take a while to divx it and upload it tho'. It should be done and uploaded by tomorrow. I will send everyone the link to my ftp.

Maybe I can get a consensus of what kind of video you guys want. I can put it up as a Divx file or a Windows Media file which can be streamed from the web?

That would be super!!! Because of my location shows on the TLC channel has a two week delay. Most of the cable channels are taped in the states and rebroadcast via cable here on Guam has 1 to 2 weeks delay. I hope this doesn't break any copyright laws. Looking forward to viewing it soon.

I have finished divx'ing the entire show. I tried to take out the commercials but for some reason Pinnacle Studio fubar'd the audio. It wasn't synced. So I just divx'd the whole thing. It's 303mb and it's uploading as we speak. I will send a link out as soon as I get into work in the morning. It's pretty good quality too.

Magnetik:

Hope your ftp server has a fast internet connection. It's going to nice not to have to wait 2 more weeks to see the show.

Just tried it.

Couldn't get the video part to work. Heard the audio but it said it " could not render the video, decompressor not found"

I recorded the show on MiniDV so the resolution is better than from a VCR. I will have it burned to DVD by a friend when he has the time.

I might be able to send it to people depending on how we can manage shipping costs.

Don't really know how that should be handled.

We'll see.

If you can get this video to work, then most people could just access it that way.

It's a Divx file. You need to download a divx player. That is why you just hear audio. Also.. are you streaming it or did you download it? Go to divx.com and download the player and try again. It should work.
