Default TV Alert-Lexus IS350 Test Drive

Not sure if this is a repeat or not. Speed Channel is showing Test Drive on Sunday April 9 at 1:30-2:00 p.m. eastern time of the new IS350.

Does anyone know if this is the same one with that guy from Grays Anatomy tv show when there at the race track?

I was hoping this wasn't the same show, I already have this on my DVR. I also converted it to my PC, the show is 22 min without commercials, quality is excellent but the file size is 183 MB avi file too big to upload It's a nice show, enjoyed the 2nd half more with Andy Bornhop from Road&Track.

I have it in iPod format as well, if you just have to have it, I can find a way to get it out (megaupload, sendspace, rapidshare...)

Perhaps YouTube would be a good place to post.

Default How about Divx?

I'm going to record it. I can convert it to Divx. That should get it down to about 100MB's or so. Maybe less.

640 X 480 = 183 MB
320 X 240 = 80MB

The 80Mb is poor quality to me.....others may think it's ok but to me it's too small for viewing. How are you getting good quality at a small mb without losing quality?

remember this is a long video at over 20 mins video takes alot of size, it you want to make it look decent.

320 x 240 using H264 is very very nice...for an ipod, my clip is 112 MB duration 22:25.
