> To all owners of MTX SHO's:

> 1. Clutch install
> 2. MTX rebuild and Quaife install
> 3. 60k
> you really should buy them, they are some of the most informative videos I
have ever watched, hell you can even watch >them for fun.  BIG Kudos to Mark
and Josh on doing them, I would probably never attempt to do those jobs
myself, but >I will make sure anyone who is working on my car has seen them,
> P.S. Guys in the future can we expect a DVD of all three on one disc ??

I had been meaning to talk to Josh about putting the MTX and Clutch on DVD,
but they'd be separate.  DVD uses MPEG-2, which is pretty high quality if
the data rate stays above about 3-3.5 meg/sec, but you'd need lower than
that to fit 4 hrs and 2 channels of stereo audio on there.  About the best
you can do with stereo audio (using Dolby Digital 2 channel instead of 2
memory hungry PCM tracks) is maybe 3-3.5 hr.  And you need a nice multiple
pass variable bit rate compressor to make it look good.

As for the 60k, it's old and really needs a re-do...but 60k stuff is pretty
well know to most folks by now.  I've been thinking more along the lines of
possibly a "SHO Engine 101" type DVD, where we just go through with a full
rebuild.  By that, you'd see ALL the stuff involved in doing a 60k, as well
as the other bits and pieces of putting one together from a bare block.
It's like everything else, been thinking of it for 2+ yr now, and don't ever
have time to do it.

Finishing up the Convention DVD now, which I think everybody will enjoy.
Hope to have these shipping out here shortly...(takes a long time to piece
one of these together!)
