Default Test Video

I'm just trying to post a test video I shot a while back.

Here is the link.

http://www.dailymotion.com/rss/user/MartinSykes

Does this link work?

I don't see any help menu's on the dailymotion website.

I'm open to suggestions if the link doesn't work, or a better way to post the video.

It's on the road now, and I'm down to door panels, final buff/polish, charging the AC, and finishing off the rear compartment area.

Yes, I have lots of drivetrain mods left. I detuned it to 621hp 600trq. Hopefully it will hold together for a while.

Yep, your right, it's no show car, but it sure is a lot of fun.

I'm at work so I'll have to sneak a peek on and off to see what sort of comments or advice anyone has posted.

Thanks, Enjoy.

Yes, the link works and I very much enjoyed the video. I'm not into "go-fast" but I can certainly appreciate the extensive work that has gone into that car. The engine not only sounds good but is visually stunning.

Yes, the link works. I just have to click on the media files named :

x9hexq

at the bottom of the webpage

Awesome engine

The resolution of the video is a little too small, but watchable though

Great! I'll post another video with it all assembled in the up coming weeks. I'd like to shoot a 1-100mph or so from inside the car, plus another walk around.

The video resolution...hmm...That was just shot with my wifes camera. I'll see if I can get my friend to borrow me his camcorder. Should be better sound, and resolution.

I appreciate the comments, and will update all the specs at a later date.

Thanks.

I see a small, still pic on the right side of the page. I click on that and the video comes up.

Must be my display mode, no pic shown. I'll fool around with it.

Thanks

Interesting.
Duh to me. I didn't even try my own link.

It's resolution is defineately grainy compared to what it looked like before I downloaded it to dailymotion.com I wonder why it changes.

The other thing I noticed is there was some rap style music playing lightly in the background behind the motor. Trust me that's not supposed to be playing. Hopefully it doesn't do that for everyone.

Of course that is the purpose of this test. To see if it works, and how well.

Does anyone have any other links to video download sites. I would have downloaded it to photobucket, but it was over 2 minutes long.

Thanks for looking.

You people with no video or small video only certainly lack the correct CoDecs to view it : I strongly recommand the following :
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack
Do a google search, or try directly this link :
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...codec_pack.htm
Download and try ! It's free.
You should be able to play all the popular movie formats and even some rare formats. Easy to install and uninstall if necessary !
It works great for me, I 've been using it for several years and I couldn't live without it

I just watched the video. Aren't you afraid the A/C will rob horsepower? LOL.
