he could tell you whether ANY page on his web site has malicious code in it.
The fact that he originally created the content in no way ensures him that
it's safe.


Well... it IS Windows based. That's malicious enough, isn't it?

My version of Windows Media Player does not have those options (v.7)


Then install a version that does.

RealPlayer is so invasive as to be disabled on my system.


I've used my firewall to cut RealPlayer off from the internet - now it's a
*much* better behaved program. No irritating popups, no demands to be
updated, it just plays .rm videos when I want it too...

What airplane was it?


Judging from the radiators, it's a Spitfire Mk IX.

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!

Of all the people who have emailed me saying they're having problems running
the videos, it's almost always been due to the fact that they've got
RealPlayer set as their default media player.

Switching the default to Windows Media Player has fixed it, every time.

The one comment I have is more of a question: when making reservations,
are
guests able to guarantee a specific suite?


Yes!

One thing you'll find about our place -- NONE of the "normal" lodging rules
apply.

That's what happens when two pilots with no hotel background buy a small,
luxury suites inn. Stupid, crazy stuff like customer service starts to
happen! :-)

Hey Jay, just a heads up on using video clips.
There is a company called Acacia that claims to own the patent on recorded
streaming media.
They are asking that people pay them huge amounts of money to license their DMT
patents. How do I know about this, because we got a letter from them asking us
to pay them $10k to license their patents. They are not playing around, they
even sent these letters to universities, online radio stations and so forth.

If you haven't seen this yet give it a look. It's a Spitfire practically

This is rated R for (wholly appropriate) use of strong language.

Glad you like it -- I think it's the best one of the bunch! (I'll bet they
ever used that footage in the documentary they were filming -- at least not
with sound! :-)

Sorry about not being able to save the video -- I've received several
requests for instructions on how to save it. For some stupid reason, my
setting the video up on its own page seems to eliminate the ability to
"right click and save" it.

I'll be working to fix that.

I have seen people embed crap in mpegs also, am not sure what program they used,
but I have seen them with it.

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.

you can go to www.download.com and do a search there for a converter, I found
mine there.

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