RE: UKHA2003 Video - DVD version - downloadable ?

["Paul" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

It's not difficult to transcode the MPEG-2 file to a high data rate WMV or
DivX. For the WMV you could install the free Windows Media Encoder, set the
rate (VBR, CBR etc etc) and press go. For DivX, you'd need to install
whatever DivX encoder you prefer (I don't use DivX at all though).

So, if I put some instructions here on how to share via BitTorrent, the
more people who share the DVD ISO the better.

Would this help ?

I personally would rather hav a higher rate encoded WMV or DIVX version
and stream from the XBox - DVD ? That's SOOO 2th Century :-)

That's why I didn't want to upload - especially as my Satellite connection
only gives me about 20Kbps rather than the 120Kbps BT quote!

I think you're right there Gerard but it's worse. I set an upload going
onan  256K upload and am getting a measly 100Kbps. It has taken 1 hour
and 20 mins to upload 50MB so far. You may be in for a long wait!
