Gang, My son sent me this link -
To watch the video it wanted to install a QT extention. I watched the clip and my computer locked-up with a load of DSL activity going on. I had to restore to lest week's set-point in safe mode. BEWARE!!!
Hmm, funny. I didn't gwet any such extensions, or anything. But, then, I'm running Linux. (I didn't get any sound with the movie, though.)

I didn't have any problems on my machine. I have current virus filter active all the time too, but it tells me when it finds something.

Very good advert. Was shown in the UK earlier this year to launch the Accord. There is only 1 part that is computer generated, and that is where the exhaust rolls across the floor, as it had to be filmed in 2 parts. Everything else is real, and was actually done. Took them something like 3 weeks to set-up and record.
It won international advertising awards. I didn't know that it was run in the US, if indeed it was.

Try this if you have Flash:
Sorry if you had trouble, Tom.... I watched it running XPHome andMcAfee (current and up to date) and had no problems nor did I receive any warnings..... Ken.
Install an up-to-date mplayer, and you should.

Ken, do a seach on the making of that video.
The director said that it was much easier to work with whiny actors than to get that system to function reliably

Been a whgile since I have seen it....
The most fascinating part is where the little weight (ball?) hits the lower part of a pendulum with a large weight at the top, and you get "mechanical impact amplification" when the large weight comes down and starts bigger stuff happening. When I first watched it I thought "Yeah right" but then after a moment I realised t worked.
It may already have, but it seems to have an application waiting somewhere...
There's quite a bit of "just enough energy" going on, which is also neat. The bit that made me wonder if it was fake, until I understood how they did it, was where the wheels are rolling uphill. :-)
The only "fake" thing about it, though, is that they had to do it in two parts, using the frames where the silencer is rolling alone across the floor to splice the two sequences together.

I can't imagine how people have so much trouble. I have an "Old" "E Machine" that I only paid 300 dollars for as a refurb several years ago. The clip played fine and had sound with no sign of problems. And this is running Win 98 that has never been reloaded.
It is a very neat little movie.. Honda has had a few of these over the years...
