Hey NOTA V6,
Is there anyway you can separate the portion of that show that is dedicated to the rotary engine from the rest of it? If there is, could you post that? That would be great.
I still have a dial-up connection, so there is no way I could download a file as large as the whole show.

I meant that somone hinted there was a complete documentary somwhere entirely on the Wankel... Well worth keeping an eye out for that one... I'd buy a DVD of that in ha heartbeat.

I doubt it's worth uploading the whole of a show about general engines... as people would only want to download it again!!!

I guess big brother IS watching.... since that clip was downloaded by somone from ford!

I hope they see how keen we are for this sort of thing. It strikes me that there MUST have been a longer program on this topic to justify the interviews we saw sections of...... Where is it guy's, we wanna BUY it!.

im the ford guy

hey there, im the ford guy who just downloaded the clip. im interning in germany with ford and have been keeping up on the rx8 as much as i can. ive been snooping for insider information, but theres nothing in the internal intranet thats not already out in the public. ill keep my eyes open though. hopefully there really is a big brother watching who will throw us a bone or something. sorry to give false hopes though =(

You need a DivX player...

http://www.divx.com/

You will need a DIVX codec....

I recomend the ffdshow codec as it's able to play many different mpeg4 based streams and is only 10% of the size (Download time) of the regular DiVX codec.

Get it here:-

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...7.exe?download

Or go to the project homepage here:-

http://cutka.szm.sk/ffdshow/

Otherwise you could always go to the divx homepage... www.divx.com I think.

hah! success! i was sceptical of the divx because in the past i couldn't get it to run. the problem was i couldn't get the codec to download. this time it came all bundled together. thanks everybody for the help and for sharing hosting the vid. now if mazda just leaves the hood to open that way i'll be a really happy camper:D

genuine divx. it didn't take very long, this dsl hookup im on at work is like lightning. i downloaded the divx first and saw the codec bundled into it so i didn't have to try the other one.
