Hey, good job; you stalled it in!

I hear those low-wing planes are very nice to fly.

Well, I didn't stall it in -- but the runway was absolutely ice-covered. It
was a real "no-brake landing", for sure!

Ah, you're right, I mistook the landing bump for a bigger drop. Still,
icy no-brake landings are something I know *I've* never tried.

They come out as an outline with a white box (with a little red "X") in the
upper left corner.

My firewall blocking something?

Actually it seemed fairly nice to me. Camcorders tend to greatly exaggerate
landing impacts in my experience.

In my case they come out as a grey box that says "click" in the
middle. If I click it says I need some plugin but the file doesn't
specify which one. I think they're RealPlayer, which would explain
it; I don't allow that on my system.

Is it the camcorders...or the angle that the video is shot from? A low angle
would emphasize any "bounce".(?)

Looks to me like he landed:

1) Left main
2) Nose wheel
3) Right main (hard hit).

When the left main touched, it bounced a bit and the nose came down too
soon. He didn't seem to be making x-wind corrections (but it's not exactly a
high res picture).

Kinda' hard with those LONG legs.

They are .avi files. Depending on your operating system, you may be
able to right click and then "save as" then open with your favorite
movie viewer.

I'm with you, I HATE realplayer AND quicktime for that matter, they both
try real hard to take over your system. Anyone know of a third party
player that plays MOV and RM files?

Actually, as others have said, the camcorder (or, in this case, a Canon Elph
S400, shooting an .avi movie) greatly exagerates the touchdown bump.

It was, in fact, a near-greaser, with absolutely no side-drift (essential
when landing on ice.).

It's an .avi file. Try right-clicking and saving it, and THEN opening it
with your favorite movie-playing software.

Also, try associating .avi files with Windows Media Player. This is a
setting you can access from within Media Player, or through "My Computer".

It plays normally with Windows Media Player.

Not when they're mounted on a tripod and have image stabilization... :)

See http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer/Flights.asp#031115 (Landing HGR) for an
example.

That his left was off the ground... my eyes are not good enough anymore to
pick that up. :~(

Changed the default viewer to MediaPlayer and that fixed it.

I, too, hate RealPlayer and QuickTime for the reasons you state; until
recently, RealPlayer had taken a lot of heat for it's privacy violations.

They're embedded in the page with the non-standard "<embed>" tag, so
no chance of right-clicking. Of course I can download the file after
reading the URL for it in the HTML code, though. Windows Media Player
attempts to play the RWY 25 low pass, but immediately gets an "unknown
error" (I really hate the terrible job Microsoft does on most of its
software). Quicktime says it can't open the file because there is an
error in the program.

Haven't looked; video isn't very important to me.

No it doesn't. Windows Media Player 9.00.00.3075 (on Windows 2K)
reports that it encountered an "unknown error" when I try to play that
file.

The fact that I have to download it and manually shove it into WMP,
incidentally, strongly suggests that it's being served with the wrong
mime type. Internet Explorer will cover this problem up, but most
other browsers pay attention to the way the file is served to
determine how to display it.

Strange. I'm running WMP 8.00 on Win XP, and all is well.

RealPlayer definitely doesn't like it though. It will play, but you have to
"right click" and go through some gymnastics.
