About the VCD:
This VCD works just like any other DVD. Pop it in your home DVD player and enjoy these videos on your home TV in stereo surround sound! This VCD works on most all DVD players (100% will work on all CD-R compliant DVD players). These discs can also be viewed on your home computer by accessing the root file like this:

Explore the Disc - Open folder 'MPEGAV' -> Each XX.DAT file is a video, just double click and open it in Windows Media Player or drag and drop each XX.DAT file into Windows Media Player and it will play like normal!

Each chapter is selectable just like any other DVD chapter just hit the next button!

Clips 1-4 are NOPI based. The 3 low resolution Nopi video's that I distributed on the net are the first 3. The first centers more on my own car. The second one is focused on drifting, the third and fourth clip are focused purely on the show.

Clips 5-7 are large amounts of footage I have taken over the past two years. From in my car views of my friends Supra, to large amounts of Celica's on the highway to HUGE groups of MR2's! These clips, which have never been available, are the best of the VCD! If you wanted lots of footage, you just got it!

The 8th clip is purely dyno's of MR2's, NA and Turbo. Celica's from 3S-GTE swap's, to 20V 4A-GE runs, these dyno's are presented without music so that you can hear it all. Most all show the car's hp numbers right after the run!

The 9th clip is just credits time thanking those of you that have been apart of these video's, my friend Sean with submitted completely original songs for part of the VCD, Family and my Celica'net community for helping me make it to some events like NOPI to even bring you this VCD!

The charge is 10.00. This 10 dollars is being broken up into 3 parts that are not equal. A good portion of it is going to website development for us to get us new functions on the site, another portion is going to paying for our web space and data transfer's and the last bit is going into an account to make these kinds of things happen more often in the future to bring you MORE Celica Chronicles! (any copies ordered outside of the US need to add an additional 3 dollar shipping charge for a total of 13.00 USDM)

Make sure to check if your DVD player is compatible to play VCD's first (most home DVD players will), but PS2's and XBox's are neither VCD compliant. Even though VCD is a substandard format of DVD (in general) and they will play DVD, the software written by Sony and Microsoft more than likely lock's this play back function out. Sucks, but your trying to play a disc on a piece of hardware that is a closed system (i.e. not like a computer where you can go in and change drivers or hardware, in this case.. your restricted by what the parent company [Sony or Microsoft] have given you). Since I understand most people won't be playing these on PS2's and XBox's.. I don't see it as a problem.

If you are interested, you can send payment to my paypal account, you will HAVE to supply your mailing address in your paypal payment for shipping to take place! Otherwise, how am I suppose to know where to send the video if you all don't supply me the address? So make sure you leave your address in the comments!

Send 10.00 USDM Payment to: celica90_2000@yahoo.com on paypal!
(Any orders outside of the USA add an additional 3.00)

From Toyota's Sports Car Pride 1976 1st Gen Celica's, to today Toyota Sports Car pride, the Supra.. everything contained on this disc is 99.9% ONLY Toyota.

**Shipping occurs 2-3 days after your order is placed on Paypal! If you have not received your VCD, PLEASE get a hold of me!

Enjoy!

This VCD was original a concept I had over two years ago while attending Michigan State University. I had become very interested in my Toyota Celica even before I bought it. Unaware of the kind of crazed obsession I had begun, I also started a cult following on a small site called Celica.net. I sent in a proposal to a local Communication Arts company that had a department in Video Editing. This was in hopes to get a scholarship that Red Bull was giving out for film students. My mind started spinning and I realized the kinds of things I could achieve. After 3 years of hard work on the site, meeting people, getting equipment together my vision to film a completely Celica oriented and independent film grew.

After close consultation with a friend, Sean, I begun to map out long term goals that needed to be accomplished to reach the end and final product. Sean is talented in music and I asked for him to come up with some original music selections for the film. Sean came through and provided a very original score for the film (Clip 5 & Credits). I had what I needed and the rest as you can see is history.....

Here is the original copy of the proposal, click here.

Every day I wake up and I realize how young I am and the great life that I have. I have a car I could have only dreamed about and a technical knowledge if not on par but beyond my love for the celica because of this passion. It has become a part of my life, this site and the people. I am planning for bigger and better things, and with the advent of the GT2, we'll see you again back here on celica.net for my action on the Sebring and Moroso track late 2004!

Just got my copy in about an hr ago, would of watched it sooner but i didnt roll outta bed till 3 so go figure.
First off, Ill get the shitty stuff out of the way. For all those of you that want this to work in your PS2, it wont, it spits it back out ya and tells ya to go play it elsewhere. But it worked on my computer's dvd player with media player. It will also work in normal home dvd players.
It comes with 9 clips, clip 1 and 2 are the nopi clips Clay relased b4 so those i skipped. the 3rd clip is also a nopi one but im not sure if he posted this one or not, and niether is he, but hey, its nice.
clips 4-8 are badass. clip 4 is wrapping up nopi with a nice aray of cars to each his own. clip 5 is where the real nice shit starts poping up, CELICAS. ALL CELICAS. tons of em, just driving around to kickass music and badass effects by you know who. then clip 9, well, all im gonna say it watch all of clip 9..... [HeHe]
The quality is what Clay has told us b4, awesome. no little squares here and no little pixels there. its a sharp clear image........as long as u keep the window small. as i enlarged the media players view window the video kinda gets a tad blurry, so just keep it the normal size and you be more then happy. the length is also nice. not short little spurts of shit, clips range from 4 min to 10.
it is a msut get for ALL of you. its only $10 and it goes to help the site, which you all use daily, and some, well, for all your porn needs. So buy it and help keep the site, and porn stashes, running. Clay did an awesome job with camera angles and nice background music, and at the dyno, takes the music away so you can hear the beautiful BOV's on the MR2's and the Celicas on there. And the "special effects" is a nice touch.
this is an awesome VCD and i am looking very forward to the next one, keep the shit coming clay, and for the rest of you, buy it.
I give it a [Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up] out of [Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up] (only cause i cant watch it on my damn PS2, fuck u sony!

Clayton-
Well, it turns out it worked on neither of my DVD players. The one I use is an Xbox, which you noted wouldn't work anyhow. The other in the house is a Samsung DVD/VCR combo player. No problem, I played in in WMP, and it rocked :) Great work man, I didn't expect anything more. I really liked the driving material as well as the footage from NOPI. I watched it all the way through and I have to compliment you on the music choice, too. All the music went right with the footage. Tell me, am I the only person to notice the naked chick posing next to the white 6th gen at the end of the credits? :P
Thanks for producing this great video, hopefully there will be more in the future!
Mike

I enjoyed it very much. Was worth the $10. My favorite parts are the drifts and dynos. I wish I was at those celi meets driving around all together, that looks fun [Big Grin] . I'm definitely looking forward to Chronicles 2.

This video is amazing! The quality is good on my computer, and the sounds are decent. Those Toyotas sound so good! If Volume 2 is released I will be one of the first in line. Thanks Clayton for releasing such a fine video to the Toyota community.
