McLaren F1 Review : 3 Part Vid.

It's actually a 4 part series and it seems that the 4th part didn't make it onto YouTube yet.

Also, credit should really go to rr ww of AutomotiveForums.com as he's the one who initially encoded it for us and uploaded it onto the web. Minor detail really.

Interestingly the owner who is interviewed at the end of the clip (in the missing 4th segment) apparently had a lowly accounting job and embezzled the funds from his company that were used to purchase a regular F1 and the orange F1 GTR longtail seen in the clip. He even started a racing team and hired a co-driver to compete in the 1999 British GT series. Eventually his company caught the accounting errors and caught him. Pretty funny that he would make himself such a celebrity when doing something so illegal. At least he didn't blow the money on drugs and and hookers I guess.

I will work on getting the final segment uploaded there for everyone.

As far as I know all you can do is watch movies on youtube. I dont know of a way to save them.

 

Vids can be downloaded off YouTube, I do it all the time. I'll give you a quick tutorial, but I'm trying not to hijack the thread so this is as brief as I can make it.

1. Put this URL into your favorites list: http://video.qooqle.jp/dl/ (YouTube downloader)

2. YouTube's vids are in FLV format so get an FLV player/encoder. I like Riva, you can get it here: http://www.rivavx.com/?encoder

(This is the optional part, converting FLV to AVI, MPG or whatever.
3. Go here http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t259578 and read this person's instructions, he uses screenshots to illustrate what he's talkin about, better than what I can explain. Nothing the least bit complicated however.

That's it really.

 

thanks very much!
