Thanks for posting those, I hadn't seen them. Unfortunately, only the
first two played - Quicktime complained about missing something for the
others. Is there an explanation in English about what to do? There's
something about a Quicktime Alternative, but I don't want to click
without knowing what it will do!

Thanks for the info, Jacek. I don't know anything about QT Alternative,
either, so I'll forgo watching those video clips.

I read somewhere while the GP was on that they were going to produce a
DVD from the in-cockpit, helicopter and graphic position videos . After
seeing those two clips, I'll definitely be keeping a lookout for the
DVD!

Ran fine on OS X v.10.4.5/QT 7.04/Safari Took a while to load all of
them though.
Interesting way to follow races. I hope it catches on. People watch
America's cup racing on TV (OK well, I do), I thought this was better
and still has loads of potential for improvement.

I can see all the clips, even all at the same time

Only the first two clips are on the official site. The rest are taken
by a camcorder pointed at either the big outdoors screen or else a
smaller TV in the terminal building, or else are in-flight (and
unofficial, by the looks) footage from Sebastian Kawa's glider.

Everything plays fine on my Mac using Tiger, Safari and QuickTime. Are
the people having problems using Windows?

Using Windows, I downloaded the file to a temp folder and then played it
on Media Player. No problem. This procedure was used because the URL
didn't open and play directly.

Concerning the DVD of the 2005 Saint-Auban World Grand Prix:

I have seen the 2005 Saint-Auban World Grand Prix DVD and I was NOT
impressed. It had no real content. It was essentially a 1 minute TV
news article stretched to 40 minutes.

We need to start producing DVDs which show race analysis:-
* complete tasks
* briefings of weather and terrain
* pre-race tactic discussions
* pilot and expert commentries hilighting mistakes and good decisions
* loads of incockpit and helicopter video
* all IGC files and an IGC player (eg SeeYou)

the user should be able to play each day task with the IGCs in one
window and see a sychronised DVD film in a 2nd window. And then easily
play the whole lot back and forward. This will make it interesting for
both the racer (analysis) and the layman (visual fest) and everyone
inbetween.

The DVD should have

[Kernow]

Peter I agree.

Potential purchasers should also be aware that this is not a true DVD
but a DVD-R produced on demand. Hence if you have a Sony so called DVD
+ or - R/RW compatible DVD player model DVP-NS725P this DVD cannot be
played.

Let's hope that Peter Newport's efforts a few weeks ago at Omarama
proves to be a better production. The small videoclips on the website
look good with a wealth of information that is pilot oriented.

I have seen the 7 minute promo DVD produced using footage
from the 06 GP. It's very good - spectaular air-to-air
shots together with graphics, interviews and in-cockpit
shots.

Hopefully he gets the funding to make a 1 hour production.
