Creation Autosport Documentary
« on: November 16, 2005, 09:27:10 am »
Just noticed that the documentary that Powermite mentioned a few months back (see thread http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=3309.msg38258#msg38258) is about to be broadcast on the Discovery Channel. It follows Creation Autosport's build up to, and participation in Le Mans 2005.

According to the TV listing it is 3 x 1 hour programmes starting next Monday (21st November) at 20:00pm, entitled 'The Road to Le Mans'.  So for anyone interested here is advance notice of the broadcast.

Unfortunately I do not have Discovery so will not be able to see it. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to record this to DVD and let me have a copy. I would be happy to reimburse with replacement media, postage etc. as well as stumping up for some beers at next year's event.

Here's hoping.....

I can save it on Sky+ and then copy it to video for you Pretzel but don't have the facilities to copy it to DVD I'm afraid. Or am I right in thinking you have done away with your VCR now? If so, maybe someone can copy VCR to DVD?

JPC,

I haven't quite ditched the VCR, but only use it occasionally to record older films on to DVD, so your offer of a video (unless it's Betamax  ;) ) would be fine. I could then copy it myself on to DVD. I would then be happy to return the video, and make further DVD copies should anyone else want one.

Paddy_NL-  if you're not successful let me know and I can create copies of JPC's video and ship it to you and Gilles.

I've set it up to record the first one and set it on series link. Unless anyone else does it straight to DVD I'll copy them once they are all shown and post the video up to you.  :)

Okay - I'll let you know. We do have a DVD Recorder, but it a Phillips.
Recently replaced as the "old one" wasn't reparable within it's guarantee period of 12 months, not too high hopes for this brand I'm afraid :-\

I'll try to remember to record it to DVD and can make copies. Unfortunately the TiVo is busy that day :-)

However I'd warn at this stage that I've been copying movies for my daughters and I sometimes seem to be burning coasters...they work all right on my PC and on my home theatre but not in their integral DVDs.

Err...will also check whether I have Discovery. Pretty sure I have, either through Freeview or cable.

My plans are scuppered already. TiVo is scheduled to record the Shakespeare thing for daughter who is doing English A level. Therefore DVD is going to record University Challenge. I only have two recording devices - no VHS.

Over to you then, Bob! :)

(If you want to record it and send me one I can do some copying/distribution - coasters not guaranteed!)

No probs Smokie, One copy to you for duplication and distribution. Will you be able to moderate out  the ad breaks out cos I am not that technically minded?

Yep I can edit out ads.

There is a small window of opportunity here too. I've just used DigiGuide to check the programme, and it is being repeated in the middle of the night. There appear to be three episodes at "normal" times and 6 either at 11:00 or 05:00. I'll attempt to record these just in case.

The first programme is recorded onto DVD, I will be able to get all 3 onto one disc and will send to Smokie to get his moderating stick to work on the ad breaks. It can then be copied and sent to anyone who can't get to watch it. Judging by the first it will be a great insight into a race teams preperation for Le Mans
