As a bonus there is a 40 minute tour of Austria taking in the centre of Vienna by foot and carriage, then out and about to Monasteries, Castles, Palaces, parks, towns and so on all set to the gentle music of Strauss and Mozart. A second bonus is the last of the six series GP?s in 2007 in the new format which has proved so successful. This is the UK GP.

"A lot of you will realise that for the past two years we have been filming in High Definition 1920 x 1080 resolution which gives 4-5 times the resolution you get on your normal TV or DVD. It is only in the last few months that software and hardware burners have become available and this European Championship is offered to the few of you who have the equipment needed to watch these High Definition discs and get the WOW! Factor.
Sadly Toshiba have not yet made available their HD DVD burner but we are hoping it will be available for the Worlds DVD?s in October. (We will release this European Championship on HD DVD when the required burner is available).
We cannot burn a DVD type menu onto Blu-Ray and have compatibility with all Blu-Ray players due to the HSCP copy protections routines built into Blue Ray players and PS3 units by order of Sony and their licensing requirements. This makes it very hard for independent authors to produce High Def content on Blu-Ray. Even when I did make various copies and by trying the disc in three different players at a large electronics warehouse and a Sony shop found that one would not play it, the second one did but the screen was covered in artifacts (copy protection routines scrabbling the picture) and on the PS3 it reduced the resolution to half what it should have been. We are in very early days at present and so far it looks like HD DVD may be the way for Independent Authors unless of course SONY wake up and alter things for us regarding their paranoia over copy protection which we understand but consider there are better ways than alienating people.
So as this version at present is confined to Blu-Ray what do you need to get the most out of it? You have to have a desktop/laptop that is connected to a High Def Screen or Monitor of 1920 x 1080 resolution. We also assume you have the processing power of the fastest single Pentium or a Dual Core processor (Intel or AMD), ram of 1 gig + and at least a DirectX 9 or even DirectX10 graphic card with at least 256 meg of dedicated memory on it. You also need a Blu-Ray player or read/writer (The LG one is the cheapest).
Assuming under Windows XP you have Service Pack 2 installed then you should be on Windows Media 10. Under Vista you must have at least the Home Premium version or higher installed and this will give you the latest Direct X 10 drivers and Windows Media 11. Your first job is to run the NEO Player provided free on this disc. This installs the free High Definition codec in order that Win Media players these files in the correct way or Power DVD if you are using this popular player. (There is a ?read me? file on the Blu-Ray disc explaining this).
Of course if you also have a DVI or HDMI 1.2 or 1.3 interface off your computer then connect it to your High Def TV and get that WOW! experience. So our apologies for it not being able to work on a set-top player at present."
So, sit back and enjoy the High Definition experience these videos will give you.
