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.

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.
