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.

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.
