Default EBGT original footage from 1992
Hi there, in 1992 there was a show called Real Life, alot like Today Tonight, anyway when the EBGT was released they did a comparision against the then new VP GTs the drivers were Dick Johnson and John Harvey, the reason for this post is i have it on DVD which i transfered from VHS and i have no idea how to upload it on Youtube or anywhere, not very good with computers, it is great viewing also have all clips news reports from different tv channels.

I remember that too. From memory Dick got in the GTS and went on about how bad the steering is and gave the car 4 out of 10 or thereabouts.

Quite funny really

I still have this on vhs somewhere it was on "Today Tonight" I think.

DJ was great in this.
His comments while driving the GTS "steering is funny in this, bloody terrible"

There is a button on the right hand side when you log onto your You tube account that says - upload.

Click on it and it will step you through uploading it onto Youtube or you can watch this step by step video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O7iUiftbKU

bigwil, have you been able to transfer the DVD footage onto your computer so you can upload it to YouTube?

If not, you might want to try downloading a software like WinX DVD Ripper.

I remember Dick Johnson did a bit of a burnout taking off in the EB and the journo made a joke about it. If this happened today they'd be a huge investigation report on 'Dick Johnson the renegade hoon!'

Not sure what's gone wrong there. I'm not savvy in this area, but did you finalise the DVD after you recorded it? Otherwise the disk will only play on the device you recorded it on.
