Gladiators of the Sky DVD
This is the story of the recent Soaring Gran Prix in NZ. It is
exceptionally well done and I recommend it to everyone on this list. I think what they've done is right on target for making the excitement and beauty of soaring accessible to a wide audience. The air to air shots are fantastic. I'd like to see this broadcast and read here recently that there were some efforts underway to do just that. Does anyone know how to support the efforts to get this story broadcast? Is there a network I should call, write or email? |

I second that, its a great evenings entertainment, although the wife was only slightly interested!
Still the best gliding vid I have watched. Well done to all concerned! Bagger |

Gladiators of the Sky DVD
I just received "Gladiators of the Sky" from the SSA and was crushed
when my DVD player rejected the disk as incompatible (I live in Florida). Apparently, and understandably, its in a 'New Zealand' format: PAL. In the US and Japan we follow the NTSC format. Fortunately my iMac didn't gag on the disk and it is AWSOME. Unfortunately, I will not be able to captivate unsuspecting friends and family in my living-room with a big screen and surround sound with this incredible production. Either I don't have the right friends or the right personality, but I'm sure nobody will crowd around my computer screen in a confined space to wittness such a spectacular sport. I've run out of adjectives but I highly recommend the DVD in any format. Gene John wrote: On 21/5/06 2:32 AM, in article , "Gabriel Duford" wrote: Where can we buy it? From |

I suggest you take the DVD to a stroe and try it in DVD players in the
store. You will find most the newer DVD players will play it when you find one that plays it make a purchase. |

Gene, your computer might have an S-video output. If so, you could
simply route that into your big screen TV. I haven't received my copy of the "Gladiators of the Sky" DVD yet, but I'm certainly looking forward to it as a result of all these rave reviews! -John |

Knauff & Grove Soaring Supplies will have it in a few days.
Please watch our web site or sign up for our free newsletter for an announcement. The first shipment may not work on older DVD players. Another format for older DVD players will be offered in a few weeks. Either format will work on most computers with DVD players. "bagmaker" wrote in message ...
