Hhmm.. the others movies that other folks said were squished, were fine for me.. now this new one is squished for me.
I don't know if that's the results you were looking for...

I never judged the previous movies squashed.. so IMO there was no need to change.. but we will see

this is odd i think it must be the codecs used to play them
i had a movie what was horribly squished for me after switching codecs like a madman it was all of a sudden porportioned 
leved the review though the movie itself looks really good!
btw what codec are your movies in?
thanx again jabber

Yes thats good news for me...as I think the quality of the latest video is crap...perhaps the other people who think the old videos looked "squished" have got some computer (codecs) issues or need to get their eyes checked....

Just watched the vid, and definitely on my PC, this size is the wrong one.. no idea what is the problem for the "complainers", but on my PC all the other vids were perfect, while here the cars when put in sideview, are 2 meters long..

I don't think we should be labeled 'complainers', I mean just because we asked why they looked that way, doesn't mean we don't like the vids, wouldn't you ask others if a vid you d/led looked kinda funny?
It may be codecs, who knows, I'm d/ling it now to see if there's any difference...many thanks to Jabba for trying to fix what seems to be just a few people's problems....if there's no way to fix how we see the vids, we are still happy to enjoy the vids as they are Thanks again Jabba for helping us...

Great Video!!!!!!! love all 3 of the cars, i was kind of surprised with the outcome at the end, i thought the s2000 would win with its more power and less weight, but i guess i was wrong.
Top gear should be more like this when they review cars, going to pubs and houses fighting with each other about which car is best. Who's house was that anyway???
great vid to watch, thanks jabba
