Thumbs up

Ok,
I have something like 45+ car videos on my computer from the Top Gear tests to in car videos of race cars,(track not drag). I am glad to see lots of the videos I have collected over time on this site. However, there are some really lame videos on this site.
If I can't really see what is going on, why waste my time to download it? For example: I realize the colorado street racing just put their videos up, but the only one I downloaded was the volvo race. Horrible angle, can't really which is the volvo or the integra until they are right at the camera, and it is really hard to see if there was even a winner. In my book, that is a waste of a download. I don't mean to single them out, but that was the latest one tonight. I would say that for every good video I download, there are 3-4 I delete.
I understand not everyone would agree and that is fine. Afterall they put it on their site b/c they like it.
I think it would be worthwhile to put a rating system for the videos, maybe some comments like a thorough description, ie poor lighting, street race, video is 3/4 the way down the race, hard to tell who won, etc.. With the description by someone who didn't put it together.
And some of the videos don't have the megabite size. THis is more for the ones that have 2-6 for one selection, like the M5 track videos, etc.. It would be helpful to have the size of each one. Along this line, I would really like to see the length of the video, ie 20 sec, 5 min 23 sec, etc.. That way I know it is a short high quality video, a long high quality video, or a long low quality, etc..
