Another thing - .wmv files are nasty. Much better to use a .mpg because an
..mpg is just the video, but .wmv files can contain embedded web links and the
players can't fliter them out.

I didn't know that. Any advice on how to convert a .wmv file to an .mpg
file?

I don't know of any direct converters. I've had to convert the WMV clips to
AVI and then to MPEG in the past.

Hi Jay,

The only ones that play for me are the spitfire and the low pass. She spit
I saved, the low pass didn't work.

Thanks for the cool stuff!

Works great (WinXP-Pro Windows media player V8.0), although I had to down
load it or it was too choppy streaming, I am using a SAT connection.

Question to the pilots experienced in this type of airplane...What is the
chances out of 100, this guy would be dead. I thought I saw the wings
bobble.

Can't run it in Netscape (which I use for usenet). I can cut the URL that Peter
posted into an IE window and get it to run.

Uh-oh. Anyone here care to help me solve THIS one?

I don't know anything about making something "Netscape capable"...
