The insane spitfire video clip

If you haven't seen this yet give it a look. It's a Spitfire practically
mowing the lawn during a wheels-up flyby at the camera. WTF?!

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.

It's because you used the "embed" tag (which is obsolete, having been
dropped from the HTML 4 specification in favor of the "object" tag),
instead of just linking to the file. I pulled the information out of
the source code, and could view (and save) the file directly just
fine:

plays the mig crash video directly, for example.

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.

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

I don't know of any direct converters. I've had to convert the WMV clips to
AVI and then to MPEG in the past.

Check out the page http://www.alexisparkinn.com/oh_my_god.htm now.

I've now added a method of saving the file for off-line viewing -- thanks
guys!

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

Jay,

Don't worry about converting. You should be running Zone Alarm Pro on your
computer anyway or an equivalent that tells you when any program is trying
to communicate with the outside world. If you run a clip and don't get an
alert, it's free of web links.

The wmv files are much better for viewers due to the smaller size. I can't
imagine anyone would bother putting a virus into an aviation clip. They
would go with something with wider appeal like cheerleaders ....(never
mind).
