Bonanza crash caught on video

"Matt Whiting" wrote

Yes, it is in the eye of the beholder, but to say that ALL airplane
engines sputter is simply not correct by any stretch of the imagination.

I wouldn't say that, either. At least I hope that I didn't say that! g

I question the recommendation to "get" a digital camcorder for $400
(those with line-in recording functions) when a $100 video capture card
(with hardware encoder *and* editing software) would be better tools for
the job...

I think the "get a camcorder" comment was made along the lines of "pick one
up out of the cabinet, or borrow one", not as in "go buy one."

Besides, he is not interested in going to any expense to digitize the tape,
and has only offered it if it does not cost him anything, or take too much
effort; am I right, Jim? ;-)

Get, as in knock on the neighbors door and borrow one. Total cost $0.

This picture was taken before the pigstickers were put up. If you can
imagine six steel spikes spaced every 500' at the treeline on the left side
of this picture 20 feet above the trees, you've got it about right.

Read the url I gave for the Webster's definition of sputtering.

"Webster" is a generic term for a dictionary, and conveys no special
authority.

Of course, two of the miserable b@$!@rd$ claimed their sex life was
ruined and got my insurance company to dish out $100k and my airplane
was beer cans, but nothing else. The hell of it was that it was a
charity flight to raise money for a memorial to a cancer victim at the
airport.

Proof that no good deed goes unpunished.

That's ridiculous. The VCR out is analog. If you've ever had your
computer convert analog video to digital you know how long the process
takes. And how many people have an analog video capture card in their
PC? With a digital camcorder you'll need a firewire card, commonly
known as an IEEE 1394. Lots of computers have those as they serve
other purposes. The digital camcorder, and they're all digital
nowadays, does the converting on the fly.

It takes however long the original video is. I've captured quite a few
videos off my satellite receiver using just the standard composite outputs
and stored the videos as MPG format files on my PC. I don't think the the
digital camcorder can do it any faster since the limiting time for my
method is the speed of the original video source.

Kind of like Mxsmanic being a generic term for "idiot"?
