that would be cool but i bet its a pay for play

That's not Google's business model. Advertising is. Revenue is shared. Expect to watch ads prior to each clip.

ill play by those advertising rules to get to watch all the videos with nice sound and productiuon value. if top gear doesnt get money form advertisers it will cease to exist.and me watching all the clips on youtube in the current model i dont have to watch any advertisements, thats not fare to the procuders of topgear.

This deal with YouTube is great, but I want TopGear on DVD so I can watch on airplanes.

yaaaaaaaaaay!

too bad it's 320x240 at 15fps and proprietary codec. Can't even save it out to watch on my pctivo.

There's a sweet plugin for Firefox called unplug, you can download the video from Google with that. Then you convert it with a program (I use iSquint for Mac, but I'm sure there are others if you rock a PC) and watch it whenever you want.

You can even move it to DVD if you want.

I mean, theoretically...crap.

There's also www.keepvid.com. But I'd prefer larger video, better frame rates, etc, etc.

ya... if TG would come out on DVD i would definitely be one of the first in line to buy season 1-9. Do they put other BBC shows on DVD? or is it the fact that the BBC is owned/operated by the gov't?

FYI ALL
Massive Top Gear fan here.
It is now on the science channel at 10 or 11am on Wed. Also, check out
www.racingflix.com
Not a sales pitch, as you can sign up for nada, with a fake name and all....and download clips from the show. I had usually watched YouTube, but they got cencored and had to get my fix...hence the branching out.
Love Top Gear

Have you guys seen the one where they turn the Robin into a space shuttle?

Yeah, except for that one bolt they were successful. Episode 6 was kinda boring.
