Alec Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Who on here remembers Evolve? Today I was amazed to find crfilms.com is still online and even more amazed to discover that you can still buy Evolve! Have a look on dukevideo.com and you can own a copy for £14.99. Sadly it is only available on VHS but to be honest it is almost worth buying a video player or at least trying to resurrect the one in the attic to watch it. My friend Matt had a copy which he got as a throw out from Peter Kraus at bike '99, mint. We watched it so many times it wore out completely, the day it stopped working was frankly a sad day. Reed Merchant's films were brilliant and filmed with the same flair as many BMX videos, no dodgy French techno and no front wheel tapping. Just lots of cool riding with some good camera work and editing.Seriously if you haven't seen this film buy it. Watch it with your friends until the tape wears out then go and do some big bunnyhops. If you're new to trials or not.Right I'm off to fix the VCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyB Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Evolve is a great film. I've been hoping that they'd release it on a DVD along with Revolution. That'd be classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 still not seen revolution.i have evolve on vhs, but i am pretty sure the colour broke. i remember coming home from an england trip and sitting on the floor watching evolve 3 times in a row in the middle of the night. greatest thing ever.i have it as a crappy .flv film, found on daily motion or something. downloaded contact, it is good also. really good actually.if reed ever releases them on dvd they're safe buys from me..

MadManMike Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've got Revolution on VHS, tis good... how the hell do you digitise something off a video recorder? You'd need a gfx card that has a yellow phono input - get a scart to phono adapter. Get video capture software, hit play on VCR and hit record on capture software.Never done it, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's done. Same as audio recording really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 i think you can use a dvd recorder...use a coax cable to connect the vcr into the aerial in of the dvd rec...tune them then hit play (on the vcr) and record (on the dvd ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking more recording to PC, didn't think of DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
