Grachan Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I hope I'm allowed to do this - if not feel free to delete me! I've just bought myself a Video Capture card for my PC so I thought I'd try this out. If you want to see a good race from the 1973 World Team Cup final, click here, or, better still, right click the link and 'Save Target As'.

SCB Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Were sky filming that? As they missed the pass when Betts took the lead I guess this proves racing was better in the good ol' days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah, but you get a good close up of the Russian at that exact moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 No, it's not that one. This looks like Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Could anyone who downloaded the race let me know if you saw all of it or just one minute. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markone Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I got nearly all of the race if that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Thanks Markone. I think the end got chopped off by the website host. Back to the drawing board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Very very lovely to watch ... pretty stuff !!!! I enjoyed that immensely Grachan. Can't imagine Tatum or Millard waxing lyrical quite like that but never mind, you can't have everything. I only got 1:02 of the clip and missed the end of the race but I think we got to see the best bit all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 i just got a fraction over a minute too..... bring back Lanning as commentator!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 missed the end of the race but I think we got to see the best bit all the same. That's the thing - you didn't. The end is the best bit! To be continued........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 bring back Lanning as commentator!! 'Get out of my way son, I'm coming through'... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I'm no genius on these things Grachan but if it's the file size that's causing the grief what are the chances of saving the file in a format that takes up less room (or for that matter try a zip file) ? You have whetted my appetite with the comment about we haven't seen the best bit yet !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have whetted my appetite with the comment about we haven't seen the best bit yet !! I think what happened is the website host I was using didn't actually FTP uploading of files and doesn't accept video, so, having done it once it has blocked it. I've upgraded to one that allows it so, hopefully, I can get it to work, but it takes a day or so for the upgrade to come into effect. On top of that my wife is having our baby induced this afternoon (just another small matter that might slow matters down!!) The file is 13,290KB. Zip file is 13,048KB. Hardly worth the effort was it!

Stuff the video mate, you have more important things to do !! The clip can wait. hope it all goes well and you are soon plus an additional family member with flying colours. Needless to say you will have to "have one for me" seeing I can't be there (a celebratory drink that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Cheers Sir L - or, Kanpai, as they say in Japan. OK - Take 2. You should be able to get the whole race now. (Well, I've got to do something while the missus is asleep). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
