    I'm back and here's the video

    Hello to all the members. Both old, who were here when I was last posting, and new! I see a lot of new members, and this is really great that this VX community is growing strong.
    My apologies for not posting lately: I've been insanely busy at work, and with my new consulting practice. With the 15-16 hour workdays, any free time I have now, I try to spend away from the computer.
    BUT ...
    A long long time ago, Anita sent me a copy of the video Isuzu created about the Vehicross: story behind it, how it was produced, and tons of other cool info from engineering to sales and marketing. Now, in retrospect, we know that some of the marketing plans for the VX didn't pan out for Isuzu, but that's another story. I promised to encode the video and make it available to be streamed, which unfortunately didn't happen until now.
    Overall, this video is a must for any current or prospective VX owner, or any car enthusiast for that matter!
    Now, the video. It's streamed in Windows Media format, so both windows and mac users should be able to view it (mac users might have to download windows media player for mac – available for both 9 and X). Linux users will have to use the crossover plugin, or some other wine stuff. The video's encoding rate is 240 Kbps, so you need to be on a broadband connection (DSL/Cable/T1/T3/Internet backbone/Sky is the limit) to view it properly. It's about half hour long, but when streamed, you should be able to navigate to any point relatively easily. I'll also make it available as a download (50 Mb) it here, on vehicross.info.
    I’m paying for the streaming bandwidth, so I’ve made the page where you can watch it password-protected. Please don’t try to stream the video outside of that page, or I’ll have to take the video down.

    Without further due:

    Ed,
    For us lowly, slow boat from China, dial up users any chance you'd be able to burn it to a cd? I'd be willing to pay for you effort and shipping! I have never seen this and would love to have a copy. Thanks in advance!

    As a new member to the site...

    I ahve to say Ed, I would also like this on DVD or Window's Media. I would pay. This is an amazing video and really shed's light to the history of the VX. I have heard from many people on the site what the VX is and have also heard from the Isuzu sales guy when I saw it in a 1997 car show, but to have this factual, documented, and entertaining video gives me goose-bumps, their talking about my VX... that is awesome!!!

    I am part of something unique, we are part of a one of a kind vehicle. After 6 years this vehicle is still not matched in its futuristic and functional use!!!! And with the knowledge, ideas, and solutions that have been created and shared by the users of this site, the VX will continue to be #1... Funny thing, I almost sold it cause I thought I made a bad purchase decision....!!!!

    Glad everybody's enjoying the video, that's why I knew I had to do it. Thanks to Anita for making and sending me a VHS copy, even though it took her some time, but not as loong as it took me.
    George, of course, I was on a mission helping the US troops hunt down Saddam!

    I've submitted the video file to the downloads section, video category. It's not there yet, but as soon as Scott aproves it, it'll be there, so you can download and watch it locally. Since Anita is making the DVD, if you want a hard media, I'll refer you to her, she is "the source" after all.
