36 seconds into the clip I had a beaming smile on my face, looked to be a great flight Sound track's nice too.
I've uploaded a flight vid, that I got off the net some time ago, up onto Steve's server, just need him to link to it. Thanks mate.
I have some small bits of footage taken here in the US that I'll attempt to get on digital media over the hols, but it will be basic compared to what I've seen so far.
I've just tried your link again, and like kokpit, I only get 10MB: I'm on a very fast link, so its not modem trouble.
While we're talking flying videos, you might want to have a look at this one Mountain flying. Aerobatic Flyer posted the link to it earlier this year, and its a wonderful video - the soud track is super. Be warned though its about 30MB.
Updated version of the ateam vid which should be more compatible with most systems (and only 16Mb): a-team
Thanks also to rotorcraig for various bits of the flying and camera work (but not at the same time!). He is also responsible for the A-Team idea. I take no responsibility for anything.
Probably works best if you right click, Save Target As, and then run the file from your local disk. You may or may not need this video codec (6Mb, cancel out of the registration screen) and/or this audio codec (under 1Mb). Hmm, if I do any more of this I'll have to sort my technology out a bit - it's a decent quality bit of video, though.
(When I play it it works best if you turn the brightness up a bit and the contrast down a bit.)
Oh, and no prizes for guessing the identity of the passenger who is surely not at the controls (bit of thread convergence here).
mooney - nothing special, a cheapo digital 8 camera. The main difference is not to compress the guts out of the video. The 2.1mb/s option in windows movie thingy seems to be a good tradeoff vs. full DV
Hey guys - im slowly making my way through downloading all the videos!
Rob - ive just got your sailplane vid and i have to say i am EXTREMELY impressed!! Very well put together, and as you said yourself, the music really suits it! I never knew a sailplane could deliver such excellent performance! Are they expensive to buy/operate?
221B,
You gotta love the A-Team!!
Supposedly, the only people that they could show actually being killed on that show had to be Communists! Everyone else could only get injured! Well, thats what i was told anyway ...
The cheapest way is to find a mate with a DV camera and a PC with some basic editing software... plug the two cameras together and record the analogue footage onto digital format on the DV camera.
Then, use the software to export the whole thing from the DV tape to MPEG, WMV, etc. format.
Does anyone know where i can find the codec for the 450 meg video file.. i know it is mpeg but i have installed latest nimo, divx, and have media player 9... just doesnt want to work.
Windows media player keeps trying to dload a codec but finishes saying error downloading codec.
I gota show off a recent video a friend of mine and myself made. Goto: http://www.harvsair.com/movies/index.htm We have it in wmf, realvideo, and quicktime formats.
It's just over 13 minutes long and includes 152s, 172, Citabrias, Pitts, and a Twin Beach in flight. Also a little acro, and a small infomercial part.... I hope you guys like it.
Right y'all, this is all very nice. These just make me wanna fly!!! As soon as i get my capture card I will get one ready for you, cub flying in Africa!
Sound track's nice too.
