Season Review DVD

[Just race!]

OK, I know the oil has hardly dried on Paddock Bend, but have just been on to Dukes website (I've just finished a night shift!) and see that they are promoting the season review dvd. 3 hours on two discs at £19.99. No release date yet though.
May help relieve the end of season DT's!! :rolleyes:

[Sparkz]

Is it really worth putting 3 hours on 2 discs?
Especially when 1 disc can hold 3 hours worth :confused: :confused:

[mbailey06]

Perhaps its 3 hours on each disc?

[Sparkz]

It says 180mins.
It makes me wonder, Why put the 49th season on 2 discs and make it 7 hours long in total. But only put the 50th season on 2 discs, But only make it 3 hours long :confused: :confused:

[simon1220]

Are you having a laugh!!! Only 3 hours footage, thats disgraceful!

[adzerrancoon]

I think its out 10th november

[Beemer Fan]

They should have done something special for the 50 years. Bit dissapointed to say the least.

[SpeedRacer]

Im glad I recorded all the meetings on Sky+ and have put them on DVDs. All meetings, all footage may well save me £20.

[heidi1]

if you look on play it is £12.99. it is ment to be out on the 10 nov.:D

[Racing_Fan]

Just looked at Dukes site now and it says "Running time: 453 minutes" but doesnt have a release date yet :confused:

[Shortride]

Was going to say 3 hours would be shocking lol. Glad id recorded majority of the races. 453 minutes is a bit better :D

[Sparkz]

Just looked at Dukes site now and it says "Running time: 453 minutes" but doesnt have a release date yet :confused:

When I checked before I left for college this morning it said 180 minutes, Which actually p*ssed me off then :p
Its changed from 180 mins to 453 from this morning to whenver it posted :p

[Kez]

i've done some maths you guys, and i have reason to believe that 453 minutes equates to 7 hours and 33 minutes of TOCA viewing! Once, i get paid, i'm hoping to get the dvd reviews to 2005, 2006, 2007 and this year! :D

[bringbacktheolddays]

It says 180mins.

Last year was better than this year to be fair though, there was more to show than this year.

[mbailey06]

I disagree, I think this year was just as action packed, but I hope that a little bit of that time will look at 50 years of BTCC (wishful thinking probably).

[VkmSpouge]

7 hours and 33 minutes of coverage. That is excellent! :D

[BTCCROCKS]

This DVD will be on my Xmas wish list;)

[ted]

hope more interviews are on this years. i doubt they will show a 50th year highlight thing, itv wasnt really that intrested about it on the tv coverge were they? ok they showed odd race from years ago but only 2mins or less long!

[aylesburyape]

Last years DVD was awful! 7 hours long but just the same as if you would have recorded the highlights and put them onto a disc. Almost no interviews, insights, post race reactions or any narrative through it. Just a badly put together cut and paste job. 3 hours with a proper production would be much better and watchable, like past DVDs and videos back through the years.

[kezbabybabe]

Wth Aylesbury Ape on this one. They better have more interviews this time.

[Eunos]

All i know is with this Years DVD

I'll be like "Oh me Googles i was there *fanboy Scream*"

I even did Oulton Park

[kezbabybabe]

All i know is with this Years DVD

I'll be like "Oh me Googles i was there *fanboy Scream*"

I even did Oulton Park
Oh yeah, look out for yourself all over again! and squeal when you see someone you know!

[Eunos]

That's the Plan, The British Touring Colin Championship :cool:

But there only 7 hours, if you wanted interviews, insights, post race reactions etc it would take 10 minutes or so time per race, which would take 300 minutes of time from the DVD, so we would ony have 2 hours or so race footage. Surely you want more race footage than random rubbish in between, i know i do!

[aylesburyape]

Interviews and reactions arent rubbish! I want to see the characters in the game off the track to show their personality and faces. You could comfortably edit the races to 5-10 minute highlites depending on the action to cover all incidents and overtaking. For replay value too long can be a bore for what you've already seen. Check out the well put together videos from the 90s to see what I mean.

They used to do that and people always slated it. I would prefer to watch pure racing action and remember the great racing we have had than watch back interviews I have already seen and that wont interest me in the future.

[tankman40]

I like the dvd's as they are,can't remeber every accident&overtake from every race,or see it at the track!!nice when you see it for the first time thinking he's never going to pull that move off!!! Wrong he has!!!

[603270466]

last years was 7 hours........ and this season was better.

I just hope they have more driver interviews and behind the scenes stuff like they used to

[mattlovestbs]

According to the Duke magazine thing i had today:

BTCC review is 400 mins over 2 disks... i make that about 6 and a 1/2 hours :D

[Editor1]

This year's is 467 minutes over 2 discs. A whopper! :D

Cheers

Ed1

[Les]

now that sounds a decent length

[gruk]

its out on Monday isnt it? i just bought the 2000 review on dvd cos i havent got my video player anymore :( and that was more expensive than the 2008 review is on the particular website i used.

[adzerrancoon]

This year's is 467 minutes over 2 discs. A whopper! :D

Cheers

Ed1

Holy u know what!!! I will have to take a week off work just to watch it!!! I think that although its great that there is a lot more race action than interviews etc from last years disc, I do think that a couple here and there after major incidents wouldn't have gone amiss. Can't wait for this years having said that

[mattlovestbs]

i cant wait to watch Mat J's storming drives from Croft & Silverstone :D

[Sparkz]

50th anniversary deserves to be that long :D

[markf8691]

does anybody know if duke will be releasing the 1990-1999 season reviews on dvd?

[Sparkz]

All they have released is "Tales from the Tarmac 1991 to 2002" (I think up to 2002) on DVD.
Which is edited highlights of the seasons.

[BTCCROCKS]

This year's is 467 minutes over 2 discs. A whopper! :D

Cheers

Ed1
Wow, it's gonna take at least 2 days for me to watch that DVD when I get it

[cookingfat]

Just had an e-mail from PLAY.com.

My copy is in the post, should get it by the weekend.

I know what I will be doing this weekend now! :D

[603270466]

does anybody know if duke will be releasing the 1990-1999 season reviews on dvd?

I know a couple of years ago they announced that they would try to do it. I hope they do, because nobody hardly has VCR's anymore

[bringbacktheolddays]

I know a couple of years ago they announced that they would try to do it. I hope they do, because nobody hardly has VCR's anymore
I don't think you can get the old F1 reviews on dvd yet either, I think they only start on 2002 on dvd. :confused:

[Just race!]

Ah, thank you Mr Postie!! Guess whats just dropped through the letterbox!! Was going to do some house stuff, but that can wait!!!

Bring it on!!

[JonA]

All I can say is I hope we don't have a repeat of the attrocious drama we had last year with disc 1 being the World Superbike DVD or just the content of disc 2 as well.

[SeatDartford]

In the grandprix legends christmas catologue they obviously did not have the correct artwork for the front cover so that have pasted a pic of Gio's car on what looks to be the 2004 season review and have not even changed the title sponsors or the lengh of the DVD (says its only 180 mins!!)

Will be getting mine for christmas I hope!!

[BTCC Madman]

might get a copy after christmas

comin out on monday

yahoo!

[ted]

I know a couple of years ago they announced that they would try to do it. I hope they do, because nobody hardly has VCR's anymorei still got mine, its on its last legs but still alive! i nearly throwed it out the window when it decided to chew up the 1996 review!
:eek:

[becc@]

oh thats not any good! :rolleyes:
i never got last years dvd and im hoping to get it at the autosport show, so i hope they have corrected the problem!
i think ill get this years one for christmas, always a good stocking filler! :D
cant wait! :)

[Shortride]

Should think you will get it at the autosport show this year becca. Last year from the duke stall they had lots of BTCC DVD's and VHS. I managed to get a copy of the 1992 season on VHS along with 1994 as well but they had a oretty good selection.

[BTCC Madman]

i bet they charged through the roof though

[Marc W]

They often do special offers, I bought a few past seasons DVD's a couple of years ago for less than half price.

[Les]

that is one advantage of the credit crunch - companies are trying to liquidate their stock and will discount old stock

[Shortride]

Yeah maybe at the show this year they may do a special offer me hopes! as i have a couple of gaps in my collection which i need to complete

[cookingfat]

I know a couple of years ago they announced that they would try to do it. I hope they do, because nobody hardly has VCR's anymore
That's why I copied all my tapes onto DVD!

It makes them easier to watch as well.

[ted]

That's why I copied all my tapes onto DVD!

It makes them easier to watch as well.hmmmmmm, sounds like a plan. the hissing noise on the tapes getting worse! sounds like a snake giving birth

[Sparkz]

I ordered my 2008 DVD on Sunday night from Amazon.
And im happy to say its overseas arrived after two days and im watching it now :D

[adzerrancoon]

Am I correct in assuming that as there are no negative posts on this thread that there has not been a repeat of last years debacle? (I only ask cos I'm gettin mine for xmas)

[Just race!]

Yep, mines fine! Not a superbike in sight!! Rounds 1-5 on disc 1 and 6-10 on disc 2. Will say no more as I don't want to spoil it for those getting it from Santa! Guess what you'll all be doing on Boxing Day!!

[cookingfat]

The only mistake I found was when they introduced Micky Doyle in the driver intros!

But it seems most people didn't hear it! :D

Anyway a very good dvd, well worth having.

[JonA]

There''s a marginal improvement in the area of interviews too. Sure - we've seem them already as they're lifted straight from the ITV coverage but then the whole set is straight from the ITV feed and there's no "exclusive to the DVD" footage like you get on the F1 Review DVDs of recent years.

But beggars can't be choosers and it is one of the better review DVDs.

[adzerrancoon]

Thank you all, much appreciated. Wish santa'd huury up!!!

[Sparkz]

Yea I noticed that, They announced the wrong car :p

[Les]

nooooo how could they

[Sparkz]

They said Honda Integra instead of Honda Civic :p
But who knows, maybe they were predicting what he would have in 2009 :cool:

[jp-no1]

just picked mine up from my local HMV


will pass comment on it after I have had a chance to watch it :)

[marc]

Bad news for me i'm afraid, got my DVD's the other day for the 2008 season and disc 2 is ok but disc one will not work in any dvd player. :(

[Sparkz]

Really, because when I get to the point of Thruxton Race 3 (when Gio overtakes A Jordan and damages his car slightly) it stops playing the DVD properly :(

[gruk]

ive had mine since release day, no troubles for me for once.

[marc]

yes, disc one will not play at all in any dvd player. :(

Not sure why, just would have thought that DUKE would have sorted out these problems after last years aggro!

[Jonathan McLeod]

I've got the disc 1 problem too. It plays in my laptop tho. Duke have been ****ing incompentent the last couple of years, really annoying.

[Marc W]

I've only tried mine in my pc so far.:eek: I'll have to go and check them now...

EDIT: Phew, both discs work!:)

[Beemer Fan]

Wanted to try and get this DVD to keep me occupied during the off season, but after seeing some member's problems, i'm not so sure.

Mine jumps a little bit, like a stuck CD - but it's only 2 or 3 times a disc for a couple seconds at a time - It is £19.99 for a double DVD set... so the price could explain the probs.....

[bringbacktheolddays]

No probs with mine. :D at only 12 quid aswell. :D

how does the price explain the problem? :confused:

[603270466]

Fir instance - the 2007 DVD cost 30 quid at HMV and never had a problem - the new one i actually paid 11 quid for it on amazon - and it skips -surely if the priceis way lower, the quality qouldnt be the same...

It is a very good DVD though, and there are a lot more driver interviews in it and it's a superb review of the year

You paid 30 quid for last years!!! I got it from Halfords for 20, wouldn't they be the same DVD's though whatever price you paid for them?

[mikeymike]

tbh i dont bother wasting time and looking around to save £2-3 and usually buy from duke

i buy BSB WSBK BTCC WTCC lemans and some road racing and only problem i ever had was a dvd took 2 months to arrive but duke sent me a replacement that arrived before the original so will stick with them as they never dont anything bad yet.

Alot of people got it from Amazon, which gets to them straight from Duke the day it comes outs.

[fall_out_boy]

Best place is play . com They are by far the cheapest that i have found.
Not bought this years yet, mind I bought last years and lost disk 2 before i got chance to watch it, Gutted.

[Les]

got given a copy last night for Christmas so I think I'll be trying it asap

[DaveZ]

Doesnt matter how much it costs, but I will be buying it agian, last season review dvd was a good one, think this one will be that agian.. :)
only I have search for it, because is the netherlands I cant find them. :(

regards,

Davey

[marc]

its a shame that they have these problems lately, i have every season from 1987 to 2008 and its only the past two seasons that have caused any problems. :(

[marc]

WOW, cant believe it, just saw someone sell a 1987 btcc vid sell on ebay for a mega £63.06!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190272448228&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009

[BTCCROCKS]

I'll be getting mine for Christmas :D

[aylesburyape]

The DVDs so long im not sure when I'll ever get round to seeing it all, just watch it in segments at the moment.

Better than last years production. Does suffer a few bits of bad editing, as in missing some incidents out.

[substitute79]

Just got the 2008 season review for Christmas, sad to report that disc 1 doesn't work, 2 is fine. Tried in both DVD player and laptop. What a pain!!!! My dad hasn't got the receipt either, was bought from Play.com so hopefully they will take it back.

[dobbo]

WHY carnt they get this dvd right
i carnt thing of any other dvd etc that ive ever got home to find a fault yet two years running BTCC reviews had issues

Send it back to duke direct, phone them first to let them know the problem and they will send you a new copy, thats what i did with the 07 review.

[Daz-NCFC]

Got this for Christmas, Looknig forward to sitting down over a few days next week watching it all, What are the thoughts of those who already have watched it?

Will it keep me entertained for 7 hours?

[marc]

Same here with me last year, replaced with no problems. :)

[BTCCROCKS]

I got mine on Christmas Day. And i've still only managed to get to Round 4 at Rockingham :eek: Will try and more of it tonight. Might take me a while to watch all of it tho

[thommo_fan]

As bringbacktheolddays has said, anyone with a faulty disc 1 just phone Duke and they will replace it.
I had to do this last year and i've just had to phone them again today as my disc 1 won't load.

Oh, all videos and DVD's I have have suddenly broke now.... :D :D

I wonder why there have been so many problems with the last couple of DVD's......

[teenymac]

I've been lucky this year, not had any problems with the dvd. Only got brands finale left to watch.

[ted]

my dvd was faulty, it kept crashing on donny round, but i always get problems ordering online so i aint surprised it happens to me! :eek: im sticking to shops for now on

Im expecting this as a late Xmas pressie from me Friend,

Her excuses for not meeting up are getting incredibly Tedious ¬.¬ , I want my 2008 DVD...

[BTCCROCKS]

I've been having a problem with the DVD that seems to be strange. It works fine on my PS3, but not on the DVD player downstairs. I'm really confused!

[turk06]

hi all if its any help to you all when i got my dvd it wouldnt play, after contact with duke i am being sent another. these dvds are cursed or summat.

[tankman40]

[kezbabybabe]

I've been having a problem with the DVD that seems to be strange. It works fine on my PS3, but not on the DVD player downstairs. I'm really confused!
Hi David,

I used to get this complaint quite frequently when I worked in retail. It usually means that as your PS3 is possibly more newer than the dvd player it will be able to read the dvd okay.

Not necessarily a faulty dvd. :)

[simon1220]

I havent got it yet as my brother didnt get it for xmas (even though he has for last 10 years :confused: ) so where are the best deals around now for it??

Also this made me laugh, the 2007 season review was for sale in my local HMV for a nice £30 :eek: Thats more than it was new, let alone a year old haha
