- check your history kid, SAR means Special Administrative Region, that name is an heritage from the UK colonial period and still applies now that Hong-Kong has been given back by UK to Mainland China

To download these versions you will have to have a valid MSDN subscription and to follow the link below. Although these versions are currently available on MSDN, corporate customers still don't have access to their VLM (Volume Licence Media) on the Volume Licensing site. Maybe that will change shortly as I'm sure MS will be recieving a lot of complaints about the lack of support for Volume Licence customers.
Also, oddly most localised versions aren't available in Web Edition (usually supplied by OEMs) but only in Enterprise and Standard Editions.
Build 16188 (Version 1.5.2): [April 30, 2003]
- Converted help from WinHelp to HTML and updated dialog help to current feature set.
- Added frame rate conversion to arbitrary frame rates.
- Added logging to report non-fatal warnings during operations.
- MPEG parser detects and reports timestamp discontinuities.
- Added limited error concealment capabilities to input handlers.
- Optimized audio filters a bit and added tap count control for lowpass, highpass, and resampling filters.
- Added "new rate" audio filter to relabel an audio stream with a new sampling rate without resampling.
- Incomplete audio format headers that are rejected by ACM MP3 codecs are automatically fixed with the required fields (the infamous "tag 0055" problem).
- Added workaround for AVI1 files with MP3 audio being detected as MP3 files by Windows Media Player 8.
- Removed coach dialogs. Not helpful enough and too outdated to maintain.
- Fixed capture free space indicator being limited to 4GB under Windows 98 (regression in 1.5 series).
- Fixed crash when job queue could not be flushed to disk.
- VDFs that contained multiple filters were only showing the last filter in the library (regression in 1.5 series).
- Fixed crash when attempting to direct copy a video stream with an abnormally large BITMAPINFOHEADER (>16K). Added code to detect and correct such mistakes.
- Fixed hang in audio filter graph editor when placing output filter with autoconnect on and no place for it to attach.
- Fixed livelock at end of operation when lowpass/ highpass audio filters were in use.
- Fixed internal error when attempting to start an incomplete audio filter graph (unconnected pins).
- Fixed garbage wLanguage/wPriority values being written to audio AVI track headers when converting an MPEG-1 file.
- Fixed crash when attempting to load an AVI stream with an invalid sample rate (zero or infinite). Added code to guess and substitute a reasonable value.
- Fixed small memory leak in "smoother" video filter.
