This masterpiece by Richard Attenborough won 8 Oscars, about the most inspirational man who lived in modern times. Perhaps he still could give us back the hope of a peaceful solution to our troubled word.

My ripping procedure now produces decent quality for such a long film compressed 
into just 800 MiB. I enclose a sample for ye weak in faith.

Widescreen DVDrip XviD 2-pass 704x288, great stereo sound AC3.
Runs well in both my standalone DivX players.
