I didn't even know Saleen was into drifting. I caught this on tivo on Formula D:

It's 8 megs, and is just the few cuts they show of it. I haven't watched the show yet to see if they talk about it, but saw a clip of it in an ad, so I recorded it.

I think I recall that MPG's off of a tivo need a DVD codec on a computer to play. I'll see if I can't figure out how to re-encode it so it'll play. It plays fine on my XP box (with Nvidia DVD codec), and in Mplayer on my Linux box. I thought I had it covered.....

I think it was a "real" Saleen (not a body in white build) as well. It had what looked like stock Saleen wheels on it, not very wide....

Ok, re-encoded from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4. It's also half the size. Let me know if it works for you now....
Same link, same filename.

nope none of them work, the last 2 go all the way up to the download and when it comes to play it, it says that the codec is wrong

I didn't watch the video but Mustangs that drift deserve to be crashed.

Why do you say that? [Confused]

I must say I didn't think posting a video would be this hard. I do admit to being somewhat ignorant of the all the codecs and such out there. The issue is Windows Media Player, and thier lack of a native codec for mpeg2. If you were using another player, it's likely that it would have played fine. All 3 of the players on my Linux box played every one of the files just fine.
That said, I realize that MOST people use WMP, and a WMV is the format for that player. (Hmmmm, see something here?)
Anyway, I have made a wmv fiel that plays on both my other windows machines, so please, if you still want to see it, try again, and let me know if it does or doesn't work. I'd like to know for my own sanity....
Thanks
Dennis
