Product information "World Championship Touring Cars 2007, Two Blu-Ray disc set, y0934"
This two disc DVD set of the World Championship in Brisbane / Australia in 2007, made by Chris Wright from the well known Rev-Up racing magazine.
The 2007 Worlds in Brisbane, Australia finished less than a month ago and Chris Wright has worked hard to get these DVD?s out to you. Have a look at the trailer, but altogether you get 17 videos plus on the second DVD in the EXTRAS directory you will find the full race results in html so you can surf the whole event in your browser. Not content with that also in the extras directory are all the still pictures taken. There are a few hundred pictures here and if your car is not there then it was not through want of trying on our part. These pictures can be printed or used as wallpaper on your computer or even your phone. Titles like 30 minutes of glorious slow motion, the full final with commentary, opening concourse, a view of Brisbane some of it from the air, the two prize presentations - on the track and at the Banquet, lots of other videos as you would expect and a bonus video of our day at Steve Urwin's amazing wildlife park, stroking crocodiles, cuddling Koalas and a Tiger that wanted to like the camera lens, Crikey! It is all there.
The DVD?s are in PAL so if you have a TV region in NTSC then you will need to play them on your computer. As the original files started life as high definition and if you play them on a DVD player that upscale?s through HDMI or Component leads, then you will see an improvement in the video quality. Not HD but possibly middle of the road.
Trailer:
This will be for the moment on Blu Ray DVD discs as Toshiba have yet (after ten months) to release their HD DVD Burner drive. I have tried a few authoring programs and as it is early days they all have their problems so the easy way is to provide the original files for people to select and play. These discs ?may? work in ?some? set top players but as Sony has just upgraded the firmware on set top boxes if yours cannot be updated then you may not be able to play them. However, as the vast majority of Blu Ray players are the much cheaper PlayStation3 (which is even cheaper now the 40 gig cut down version has just been released) these discs will play in all versions. So provided you are feeding your PS3 through an HDMI interface to as a minimum HD ready TV or better still a Full 1080P TV (these files are rendered in 1080P ) you will get the WOW factor. There is a read-me file on the DVD explaining all this.
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.
