Here is a low quality 80 MB, commercials edited out, about 22 min long. Any smaller file will be unwatchable.

That's fast... thanks XanaduSC!!

Just a suggestion though. I see that you tried to retain the original video resolution. However, it's almost always better to shrink the video file size by lowering the resolution instead of increasing the compression ratio (i.e. lowering the quality). As you see, that 80MB video seems to have wasted a lot of space in redundant pixels due to lowered quality.

I watched the show earlier today, but once wasn't enough, so thanks for the video! I can now watch it over and over again.

I don't know about all that stuff, I just did it the easiest way this file size is 320 x 240 resolution which was reduced from full screen 640 x 480. I used Divx to encode it, as I mentioned high quality would have been full screen viewing in amazing quality but file size is over 160 MB. I choose low quality which came out to be 80 MB and is not full screen viewing so to watch this on your tv would be bad looking but the high quality file would be huge difference.

Thanks a lot. Great video.

The Lexus IS350 racing car portion was really good as well. It is astonishing that they plan to squeeze out more than 450 HP from the IS 3.5 liter V6. I cannot wait to see the final racing car.

450 horsepower IS350 race car my lord .. Chuck Goldsborough reminds me of something in the line of Dr evil doing crazy drifts in that 600hp IS300 .. I hope we can get our hands on some of those parts to tweak our IS350's .

Thank you for taking the time to download the program for us that do not get the channel. I'm going back tomorrow afternoon for another test drive of the 350. Had the 250 AWD over the weekend but after driving the 350 I think I need to find a way for it to work in the snow. Like drive my wife's RX on snow days.

Yes top gear is a really good show. I can't seem to find the torrents anymore, my original source got shut down. Care to share this site? BTW, did Top Gear cover the IS350 yet?
