[parker21]

hi guys/gls

heston is back with a new series tonight its on bbc2 at 8.30 for those who want to cook the perfect CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA.......then you must not miss this. if any of you ever caught his first series where he cooked the perfect fish and chips/sausage/chicken etc he has the only pub in the country to hold a michelin star. he is truly a perfectionist and has been known as a gastranomic scientist.

i can't wait but i have asked my sister to copy it on to dvd for me so i maybe able to post it or burn you a copy. will see how it comes out !

regards

Hi gary

I don't know if you can convert it to a smaller file and upload it to one of the newsgroups, but it would be good if you could as I don't think I'm going to see this and I really rate old Heston and his scientific approach to cooking.

I've just been tipped off that the video is now available for download on the alt.binaries.multimedia.cooking newsgroup for those that missed it or just can't get it in their country.

That's pretty neat Santa thank you. They are Rar files. Has anyone opened one yet? I suppose we need a player right?

You can download a good freeware decoder for the rar files here:

and a freeware player here:

I've downloaded the video and it is working.

Santa which files are they please? When I try I just get a rar file but having never used the 7zip before am a little lost.  :

Many thanks.

In 7zip click on FILE then click on OPEN and select the file named "InSearchofPerfection S2E1.part1.rar" from wherever you downloaded it to. This will join the rar file parts and open its contents which is the video file named "In Search of Perfection S02E01.avi". You can then save this to disk by clicking the "Extract" button. I'm assuming here that you have actually managed to download all six parts of the rar file and that they are all in the same directory.

The extensions I see are nzb. Am I going to the right place please?  :
