Have you seen the video clips??? RotaryNews.Com

Guys:
Dan posted the following yesterday over at our RX-8 Short Lead Press Event: Part 3 Impressions story.

We have two "short" videos from last weeks event that are availbale to RN paid subscribers. Get e-mail notifications, and special videos for $5 a year. Also get rotarynews delivered into your inbox, and have links to special videos like these:

http://images.rotarynews.com/videos/Paid
Now I know that there is at least one of you here who is a paid RN subscriber and can at least borrow the video for the rest to see. I would do it, but I work for RN. I won't tell anyone I promise...

Video Clips:
1. Is a 1 minute clip of me giving a joy ride on the auto-x course and getting it all wrong in places...

2. A 29 second clip of a 100mph freeway onramp adventure..
the car sounds great in this clip.

These really show how fun this car is...


On a serious note, we really want to thank all of the good folks who support and contribute to our site and these little things are the least we can do for them.


-Bern

How funny! I never even realized you guys offered paid subscriptions. It is possible that I'm just completely clueless about a lot of things :D

Trying to give a hint to anyone who might be able to give us uneducated people without a rotarynews subscription a glimpse of the clips, I think.

Thanx (and bump this to the top again.)

Come on, who subscribes? I tried to subscribe but I only used my paypal account before to donate to the web server and I need some type of activation number now to use it again.

With all the RX-7 owners in our midst, I't hard to believe not a one of them subscribes?

my worry is that one of the subscribers is a cop and they'll try to ticket bern for his 100mph merge.

I had trouble finding the link to subscribe. The one I found came up with errors. Can someone post a good URL to subscribe?

Go here:

http://rotarynews.com/display.php?c=subscribe

just type in your e-mail address and click the button

It will take you to the next page which shows you how to subscribe.

If you don't want to pay the fee, but still want to get RotaryNews.Com news announcements e-mailed to you, just click on the little link on the "S" of subscribe in the "be a leach sentence."

Hope this helps.

Okay, here are the videos. I will try to host the files as long as possible but my location is bandwidth capped and won't be able to host the files permenantly. Someone with less restrictions should re-share it.

OK - what is the secret to get the video? I have tried in Windows Meida Player, Quicktime and Real Player and only get audio. I even downloaded the latest versions -- still nothing. The audio is great but it sure would be nice to see the video

As the file names suggest, they use the DIVX codec, which you can download from divx.com.

I had the same problem, stopping a few seconds in. Then I downloaded divx version 5.0.5 and it worked fine...
