Frank Zappa Makes 200 Motels

  1. Anybody know how to record the stream? I’m happy to trade with something else…

  2. Yep, just watched the movie. Great.

    By the way I’ve seen the film ( 200 motels) way back in the old days, as soon as it was released in Belgium. In an obscure Brussels cinema in Passage 44. There’s a kind of tourist office right now in that place.

  3. I grabbed it as a QuickTime movie but it was nearly 2GB so I squashed it into an m4v thingy, so it plays on a video iPod, but it is still 160MB. Uncle Beat Vine anyone?

  4. Wow!
    Can you tell a few words about it? Is it a documentary? Is it totally different from “The True Story of…”?
    And: what is m4v?… I’d be interested, but all I have is a Windows XP…

  5. Finally figured out myself. Recorded the way it was streamed and it’s a 250MB. Let me know if you want to trade…

  6. Yes it would go on a DVD but there seems to be little difference in quality with the reduced size. I will stick it on a CD – I guess more people can share CDs – and start a vine for it…. for free – no trades required :-)
