Most important - is the Bee Gee's music included ?
Otherwise its just not authentic !
Also, how's the quality ? Colors, scratches, dropped frames, etc ?
Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

Good questions. I don't know. I haven't seen it yet. I'll update my web
site with screen captures and details as soon as I receive them - probably
sometime after December 14th.

If removing the Bee Gee's music is the only way to get it legally published,
then that is OK with me. But I'd prefer it with the Bee Gee's music.

Hi Paul, great news. Any idea if the DVD version will just be a
straight copy from VHS, or will it be digitized from the original?

Thanks

Doesn't a horsechild breakfast have to do with long blond legs and a
perfect blond, ummm, "derierre"? This is sooo not-PC anymore.

If you haven't seen this movie, you won't get this reference ... nor
see George Moffatt in his element...in more ways than one.

I still cringe when Geoge saws off his wingtips, and all the landouts
in Marfa, etc, etc.

Great movie.

It is a great movie, but I cringe every time I hear the BeeGees...I
turn the sound down when that music is playing....

i crank it up!

I've had "Down to Earth" stuck in my head all day since I read Paul's
original post.

I have a friend with a copy of Winning that was signed with the
following:

"What is a Horse Child's Breakfast? George Moffat"

[Evan Ludeman[_2_]]

Last time I watched this -- rain day at R4S with a bunch of other
glider pilots -- we were trying to figure out who the guy is that
tells the story of landing in the middle of town. Couldn't place
him. Someone must know....

Chuck Shannon. He was there in 67 and 69. Also was a towpilot at the
Worlds in 1970.

[Juan[_2_]]

The new DVD release is from a new video master made from a film print,
so it will look super.

And yes, it does have the Bee Gees music.

Place your orders soon! Will make a great Christmas gift.

Paul, thats good news indeed. However, one question: will the region code
restrict this to the USA or will the DVD be all-region?

Whats the region coding situation for your other DVDs?

Hi Martin,

That is a good question. I am not aware of any soaring DVD that has any
region restrictions. I've shipped soaring DVDs to customers all around the
world with no complaints. Some DVDs (such as "A Fine Week of Soaring" have
notes stating that they are "Region 0" for use in any country.

I'll ask the manufacturer what country code the DVD will have.

Gladiators of the Sky and the St Aubin Grand Prix DVD's are region

My copy of Gladiators of the Sky, which I believe I ordered from John
Roake immediately it became available, does not have any region coding
marking on either the box or the DVD.

I've now been able to try it in a MacBook Pro with a Region 4 drive
and another with a Region 2 drive and it plays happily in both.

My bad. Mine weren't region coded either. It was a few years ago but I
remember where my confusion came from now. The first copies I bought
from SSA were PAL, but I had no idea till my old DVD player that
played both PAL and NTSC puked and I bought one that was NTSC only.
Unaware of this detail, I was trying to show them on my projector at
our annual contest and had an audience but had to leave everyone
hanging (till someone spoke up that they happened to have an NTSC copy
of Gladiators...)

The SSA was very gracious about it and sent me new copies when I told
them what happened.

-Paul Hanson

PS. anyone know if there are any of the extra scenes included on the
new Sunship DVD coming out?

[Paul Remde]

Hi,

As mentioned further down in this thread, Gladiators of the Sky and 1st
World Sailplane Grand Prix videos are not region specific, but they are
available in both PAL and NTSC versions.

Several other soaring DVDs are also available in both PAL and NTSC versions.
Some are available in only and NTSC version. But I have customers in Europe
that found that the NTSC versions play on their recently made DVD players
just fine. Some US DVD players play the PAL format OK, but not all.

Hi,

Below is information from Drew Associates in regard to extra features.

"The DVD menu will have 9 chapters, a photo gallery and closed

Hi Martin,

The manufacturer has given me an answer to your question. The Sun Ship Game
DVDs will be "region free" so they will play anywhere in the world.

Also, they confirmed that the price will be $29.95.

This is great news about the release of the film. Glad it will have
the BeeGees music, as I find that less offputting than George's
recitation of the creepy Horsechild Breakfast!
