 | MotoGP subscription video DRM? Any limitations on the video? Can you download it and keep it for posterity (and later watching) Also is the video convertible for recording to a DVD (no I am not thieving but it would be cool to watch it on the TV vs the computer) Thanks for the info

| Re: MotoGP subscription video DRM? The video is pretty poor in quality even when viewed full screen on a 15 in moniter. It probley looks even worse on a big tv. |

| Re: MotoGP subscription video DRM? They have both low-res and hi-res versions available. The hi-res looks pretty good to me. I'm not much of a computer wiz, so take that into consideration -- but I haven't been able to figure out a way to save the vids since they re-configured the website a few months ago. Someone smarter than myself probably could. As for viewing on the TV, I have a wireless network setup for my laptop, and DSL web connection. So I can have the laptop plugged into a video input at my A/V receiver, via an S-video cable and an audio adapter for my iPod that converts the headphone port on the laptop to a standard analog audio L/R RCA-jack that will also plug into the front audio input at the receiver. This gives a picture and audio that is as good as the standard TV signal I get on Speed TV, IMO. From the comfort of my sofa in the living room. Also, I got longer cables for the A/V hookups to the receiver, so the laptop can sit next to me on the sofa. That way I can watch the live video on the TV, and have the lap timing displayed on the laptop for a pseudo-dual-screen setup. Quite nice.  |

| Re: MotoGP subscription video DRM? To save the video's right click on the video window and go to properties. At the bottem there is a URL called location, just copy and paste that into window's media player and select the save as option. The resolution of the high quality video's is only 380 x 284. It looks fine in its small window but try and full screen it and it becomes very pixilated. |

| Re: MotoGP subscription video DRM? I agree that it looks pretty rough at full screen, but when ported to the TV it looks pretty good. And thanks for the tip on saving the vids. I figured it could be done. Just not by me w/o some help. |
