I'm sure if such person does indeed exist, he/she would be extremely popular among other fellow macnn members if...
Interesting BBC program (Gates vs. Jobs)
May be it would be possible to record the documentary, format it, and place it in a server for download. Honestly, I do not know if it would be legal, but overseas Mac users may be interested (I know I am).
Thanks

I'll have a go. no promises though - my only TV card's in a Performa 6200!
Still, as far as I know it still works ok, so I may make an attempt.
Please, though, if anyone has better equipment then go ahead and record it just in case! (Also, the quality would be better.)

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

If you have a digital video camera, then recording from the tele is a piece of pie.
take the A/V plug included with you camera and plug it from the camera A/V jack into the tele's Video and (2) Audio jacks. Then play the program, press record on the camera. Switch tapes if you need too if it's too long.
Then import all the footage into iMove and export as compressed quicktime!
Does anyone know of a way to import DV footage directly from the camera into MPEG or such compressed footage so you can avoid the multigigabyte video feeds being saved to your hard drive.

I sort of doubt that this kind of on-the-fly compression is practical without dedicated hardware. Sorenson squeeze has a DV-capture function, but it still saves a DV-file before you can "squeeze" it.

I'm sure I read that a guy on Ars Technica was going to record it.

It would be great to download it. I remember when a bunch of friends and me (Windows and Mac users) rented some years ago "pirates of silicon valley", with lots of pop corn and beer.. It was a very good time...

What a coincidence, I'm downloading Pirates as we speak
So, is there going to be a torrent to this? If so, will it be on suprnova or torrentskickass or both?

I'll record it - I've got a Formac.
It won't be anything particularly interesting though - I don't think you'll learn anything new and I doubt that the men themselves are actually interviewed.

Gates was named as the winner - Alvin put it down to the fact that his software is in practically everything from cars, computers, fridges etc.....

Like that was a surprise. It's not like Steve has anywhere near the power of Uncle Bill.
But hey. It's not like I'm gonna go buy Billy product anytime soon anyways.

Right - The transcoding is done.
I have created a .torrent file.
I have also submitted it to supraNova - but it said that the tracker was temporarily off-line.
If I just post a link to the .torrent here - will that work?

I believe it has to go through a tracker to connect the users together. Not sure of the technicalities, but Suprnova has several trackers. Try one of it's mirrors (it's in news somewhere).

Not working. I think if you input your IP address it will also work.

Thats ok, thats what we're here for.... where it says DL on the site right-click and downloaded it to your computer. Get BitTorrent double click the torrent file and choose where to save it...done. Oh and make sure you've opened the correct ports in your firewall
or router....6881 - 6889
ps....wait a while for more seeders. Its been a cruel three hours for this little file.

I've already download the other clip (audio is horrid) but I'll help you seed. I'm uploading 100-120kib/s . The program was great and sent chills down my spine especially when the 1984 commercial was shown.
