More Aviation Videos

Had some time to kill this afternoon, so I uploaded 18 (yep, EIGHTEEN) new
aviation videos to our website.

These have been sent to me by folks from all over the world. Everything
from video of a new helicopter owner who tried to take 'er for a spin
without the bother of flight lessons (oops!), to three different shots of
the World Trade Center terrorist attacks, to a crazy dude flying a Sukhoi
under a loooow bridge.

I also posted a link to "405 - The Movie". If you haven't seen this flick,
you've got to see it. It's amazing!

Check 'em out at http://alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm .

I'm a little surprised to be writing this, but I don't care to ever see WTC
attack footage again.

I'm a little surprised that you chose to add those clips, but I'll not
preach to you. Just thinking out loud...

Hi Jay..

Most of the new vids.. My player says they are not valid MPG4
files... (?) ...and cannot play them...

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

I down loaded them as "filename.mpg.mp4" then deleted the ".mp4"
now they are "filename.mpg" and play fine.

Well it works now

Download the latest Windows Media Player (there's a link on the video page
itself) and make it your default video player.

Everything runs properly from that point on.

Whatever you do, do NOT make "Realplayer" your default. That stupid program
intertwines itself everywhere.

Interesting that you say that. I, too, feel deeply saddened and angry all
over again when I watched those videos, and I debated whether to put them on
the website.

After reflection I decided that while re-living September 11th is truly
awful, it *is* an important day in our history. And it *is* remarkable,
unique aviation footage.

And, finally, let's not forget that the ******* who instigated that attack
is still out there, still at large, still gathering support. Still on the
run. Still threatening to kill.

Perhaps we need to feel that anger anew?

Some of us do not load ANY MicroSoft products on our machines.
QuickTime is preferred. ;-))

I tried Quicktime. While it works fine, the videos play back very small --
like, 3 inches on a side.

I tinkered with it till I was blue in the face, and simply could not figure
out how to make Quicktime default to full-screen playback.

So, in typical computer fashion, I purged it with great prejudice...

I had the same issue while using WMP 9 where they came up as an unknown
format and would not play until changing the extension.
