Could you download this video and convert it to a
wmv file? That seems as close to a video standard
these days as there is.

"interview with John Doonan at the 2008 Daytona Rolex
24 hour GT sports car race. The RX8 won the GT class."

Sure...no problem.  I like the WMV format because it produces a good
quality video at the smallest file size. Good for quick computer
viewing...not for television quality, though.

Downloading it now...when I have it done, I'll put it on my website. You
can grab it there and then copy it to your website if it looks OK to you.

Thanks Harley. I have one or more I will put up in the same format shortly.
These are television quality files. They look good when you play them back
from a DVD on a TV or computer.

One is the Daytona podium capture clip where they interviewed the winning RX8 drivers.
Sylvain Tremblay referred to the rotary as "The engine we all know and love." :)
I like that.

What program are you using to convert and edit? If it is good I'll get a copy to
run on XP. Preferably something that does not require activation as I don't connect
the Windows computer to the Internet for virus reasons.

BTW do you know that format they are using on YouTube? It seems to work
well with all browsers.  I know the rez leaves a lot to be desired :)

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.


The clips I, see on you tube have good rez for streaming video do you mean your clips?

Clifton

Are you looking at them with your cell phone? :)

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.


No mine isn't powerfull enough for streaming. I, watch on full size
laptop usually with broadband connection works good.  : )
