If you buy it off I-Tunes are you able to make a hard copy of it or save it to a Windows PC or phone? Or is it only play through the Quick Time player?
no hard copies with their videos. only transfer to a iphone/ipod
I never heard much about this video. Is it the same fashion as all his others, or is there less voiceover and talking?
It has just as much talking, if not more. Same stuff, just different year. Actually, there are a few nice shots. But they are too few and far between.
Funny, I showed a friend 3MG and then the Freecaster 2010 DVD. He actually figured out more of what went on during that year in the "racer movie" (Freecaster) vs. the "documentary".
Speaking of Freecaster, Rankin's video is due out this month. This teaser is a lot longer than the one they had out before Worlds when you could pre-order. Looks pretty sweet...

Same style, slightly different theme.
I loved it. It's a lot easier to watch and follow if you already know a bit of what's going on and follow the world cup.

Hopefully he figured out how to do the audio mixing properly. F1rst was pretty bad on that front.
Nope. You can make a DVD.
Step 1) Download file
Step 2) Use Handbrake/VLC to strip off copyright protection and convert to .mp4 or .avi
Step 3) Import into iMovie or windows equivalent
Step 4) Burn DVD
The file is even smaller too. I can usually fit 3 mountain bike movies that I got from iTunes onto 1 DVD-R for backup. I have a backup drive; but its always nice to have hard copies of stuff you paid for. Will be downloading this tonight!
sorry, i should have said legally.....and without losing quality 
what says that method isn't legal? If I bought it on itunes, I own it and can burn it to a DVD for my viewing pleasure
It was interesting in the documentary sense, and well shot, but after following the World Cup pretty closely it doesn't really reveal anything new or overly insightful. And it didn't really psyche me up to ride, which was disappointing.
Bottom line: I cancelled my order for a Blue-Ray after I watched a friend's copy on DVD (which was released first). I wonder how many others did the same?
Ya 3MG was definitely one of Clay's weaker movies. Strange considering it took forever to make. I'm kind of partial to the old school style of movies though.
you are correct; but just for clarity's sake -- there is no loss of quality. itunes digital files aren't exactly of true HD quality to begin with so its pretty easy to maintain resolution. and the legally thing is still in debate as well.sorry, i should have said legally.....and without losing quality

Holy **** Sam Hill got fat between 2009 and 2010!
Yeah, entertaining but nothing ground breaking.

I have 3MG on bluray and it looks great. Its not soulful like lifecycles but still a great pre-race or pre-ride pump up vid.
I agree, I have it on blue ray, the description made it sound much better that it is. Not saying its bad, but it could of been a lot better
I downloaded it on Friday night and it literally put me to sleep. Overall I give it a Meh out of 10.
Yeah, I couldn't believe they found music that bad...
Blinkis part and all the riding of Fairclough was sick though.
But man , I hated the soundtrack

You can thank the UCI's filming restrictions at the Worlds for that.
what would filming restrictions at worlds have to do with the entire WC season? every single race followed a "92% talking, 3% riding through the finish line, 5% somebody random riding for one corner" I know worlds was a different story, and I wasn't too fussed that we only got to see an interview with hill, but I definitely wont buy another porter movie without seeing it first.
My mistake. I thought the "WC" in your post was an abbreviation for World Champs. I recently watched the movie and was bummed at the lack of footage from Mont Sainte Anne.
I got a bigger chubby to go ride watching this video than I did watching 3MG.
Naked bikers at the end so I added the NSFW tag

i finally got to watch this. from the description i was expecting full race coverage from 2009 and 2010, not a few minutes about the 2009 overall then minor coverage of the 2010 season.
i've enjoyed clay's vids for the most part but to see this as the result of 2 years of filming 16 races left me very underwhelmed.
