Default McLaren vs. 928 vs. POS Ford Sierra video

Forgive me if this is a re-post but I thought this was a pretty cool clip.

you're forgiven. I have the half hour show this clip was taken from where they have 2 928's running against each other.

Anyone have any idea when this was made? It looks like an early 80's as it mentions that the McLaren was a None-Turbo and was down in power from the current F1 cars.

Probably 1983. That was Watson's last year as Lauda's teammate and the first year where they had turbo Tag-Porsche engines.

Any possibility of getting copy of this or have it uploaded into YouTube perhaps?

Its like the 1989 motorweek half hour 928 GT intro show I taped and played at a 928 OC meeting recently. I would like to share it with everyone but have no way to digitize it currently.

What is the easiest way to get something into your computer? I have both a windows and a mac. It would have to feed from the output of the vcr to some input and software of the computer. I used to have an iomega buz that would do it but that was only compatible with windows 95, long gone.

Easiest way to get quality result is probably stnadalone DVD Recorder. By transfering VHS directly into DVD no data is lost unlike many cases with computer TV cards. Then its fairly easý to transfer DVD to computer and convert it to correct format for YouTube or other similar services.
