Moto Africa is a good video. Much like a doco or even more like a video diary.
It's 1 hour 20 minutes long (479mb download).
There's much much more of the adventure than just a riding video. Felt sorry for the Yamahas and a BMW F650 breaking down and dropping their oil here and there over and over.
If you liked the Long Way Round then you'll proberbly like this. It's a little more real world adventure stuff, rest days white water rafting and all.

I recoded it in DivX and put it on a CD to watch it on the TV from my standalone DivX capable DVD player.

How does one do that?
Is there an easy way as I would be keen to do that too :yes:

Either way you have to download the video first instead of just playing it.

As for playing it on the TV, I use a DVD player that supports the DivX format. I got mine from Noel Leeming 6 months ago for $80. Dick Smith has similar.
