Re: [Aus-soaring] Vintage Sailplane Video
Yes exactly the same problem, I have tried it on several different players, real player, quicktime, windows media player and some other players I have and all exactly the same, they recognise the file and appear to play it - but with a blank screen and no audio. I have also downloaded some video codec packs and loaded them - still no joy :-( Maybe this was video was encoded with a particular codec similar to, Divex MP4 etc?

Re: [Aus-soaring] Vintage Sailplane Video
Get a Mac (sorry couldn't resist) Out in the rain? Raincoats are always a handy solution. (mac might just be a Pom expression, sorry) A note to those who haven't got a mac: I bought what was referred to as the $2000 paperweight (17 Macbook Pro) and spent more time trying to make it fit into my life than any other computer I ever owned. Six months later, the damn thing was sold. Nothing is perfect. Haven't downloaded the Vintage video yet, but Good Start is great! Thanks, Alex. What an amazing comp! A few familiar faces and thought I heard Patch's dad in there somewhere. Had forgotten that my cousin flew at Waikerie. He didn't do well.

[Aus-soaring] Vintage Sailplane Video
Thanks for Zulu Romeo! I have uploaded a Quicktime movie on vintage gliding. It is a series of old Movietone and Pathe clips, some with a watermark, showing sailplanes in the '30s at places like Dunstable, Brooklands, Wasserkuppe, Italy, France and even at what appears to be Stanwell Park. Launches are by bungy, winch and aerotow. In the Stanwell sequence, the voice over (or observation is it is called in the clip) claims the glider top lands on a horse. Well it nearly does. When the glider does a 360º turn close to the hill, the sink rate makes a standard Rogallo look impressive. Certainly top landing a sailplane at Stanwell would take a bit of nerve. It takes my breath away to see some of the beautiful gull wing planes of the era almost scraping a wing tip on a ridge. And I wonder what would happen now if someone tried to fly one of Patch's group's sailplanes in the same way! http://www.4shared.com/file/111471806/df3eb297/Vintage_Gliding_Video.html I would appreciate any feedback on the Stanwell sequence from people with more knowledge than me. The clips were supplied by Angelo Crapanzano from Italy. ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring

Re: [Aus-soaring] Vintage Sailplane Video
See http://blipmap.walsys.net/forum/index.php?topic=80.0 The landing was made between what we HG pilots called 'The Point' and 'The Knob' (Stony Batter), in the area that is now occupied by the toilet block, road, and scrub. In those days most of the timber was Red Cedar and was cut down; the current vegetation is regrowth. Regards, Bernie. (Local resident, Otford, and flew hang gliders here for about 25 years). ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
