You lot suck at the interweb sm56

Playing in QT is a sure sign that it's encoded using MPEG4 (MPEG4 came bundled with QT fairly early on). Time to go codec hunting ;)

Strange, it was encoded as a standard Mpeg1 file...

Hello Everyone!

That superb video from our 2 good Belgium friends converted successfully to VCD using Uleads DVD Factory. File plays in the latest Quicktime Player.

indidentally, pettaw was great in giving me a hand in doing some more work to the car - we managed to fit the roof, fit the stereo/speakers, do the timing belt and strip the bumpstrips. looks even better now - more pics over at www.iroll.co.uk

Considering the 'ghetto' approach it's suprising how well the roof has turned out - I shouldn't doubt your bodging skills :lol:

But c'mon...how did you fit them front speakers?!

Dude, those speakers are great! Much easier way of getting 6x9's in the doors than I took!
