• Comments: Well, here I am again! This is my third completed AMV to date, and is a leap ahead (so to speak) from my previous two. In reality, this AMV was due to a mere experiment in DVD Ripping. My software had been deleted and the site that hosted it went down (!), so I had to rebuild a ripping platform. This one actually ended up working a hell of a lot better than my old one, ripping at speeds 6 times that of the old setup.
  
  So what did I test the setup on? The first part of the race between Takumi Fujiwara and Ryosuke Takahashi, of course! So I set up the ripper, removed any non-race scenes from the episode and let loose! As it turned out, the race in that episode lasted a mere seven minutes, so I looked through my music and found something with about that length... stumbling upon an extended mix of "Around the World" by move. Not only did it fit, it meshed perfectly!
  
  By the way, this video isn't a spoiler for the race! Nothing is given away here... just good, clean racing. The next video, however...
  
  This was a video made from a test, so I didn't put any special effects in or even try to sync lyrics... it was made for fun. I hope you enjoy it as such. After all, what's Initial D except street racing and eurobeat music? Nothing.
  
  Enjoy!
  
  P.S. Since this video doesn't cover the entire race, I'll be making a second (probably shorter) AMV to finish it off. Keep on the lookout!
  
  P.S.S. Since the AMV.org upload server is being coded anew, I've added a link to a host server with a WMV version of the AMV (scroll down to find the download). It's not the exact same quality... but it's close enough. Once the new server is up, I'll be putting up a local download. Thanks!
  
  Local download is up! Enjoy the AMV in its original format!
