Is this working for anyone?

Working for me....Never had a problem with any of his videos.


Works for me too. I can play all these videos in RealPlayer.

A note on the content though -
The video entitled "Airbus Autoland Crash" has nothing to do with autoland.
The plane was being manually flown on a demonstration flight at the time.
The pilot claims he pushed it forward after his low pass, and the engines
just "coughed" and waited forever before spooling up. The embarrassed
manufacturer claims the pilot simply botched the low pass, flew too low and
did not begin his recovery in time.

Not for me.

Not me. Quicktime crashes every time I try to view one of Jay's
quicktime clips. The other media formats, however, work fine.

Download the file and play it from your local disc, this works for me.
Playing QuickTime movies online from Jay's site has never worked, must
be a broken installation at his server.

George P, what file are you trying that's bringing up Winamp?

When I click on the link Jay posted, A little box comes up with the file name
"Boeing 747 Extreme Landing.mpg", the text ":what do you want to do with this
file?", and two radio buttons, the top one of which says "Open with." The windo
beside that button has "Winamp (default)" in it. When I click OK, that box
disappears, I get a "downloads complete" message, then the Winamp window
appears. It has the file name in it, but nothing else. Clicking "Play" has no
effect.

Sounds like you have some file extension association problems.

Quite likely. I've had some problems with spyware lately, and Ad-aware has
probably reset some stuff. What's a good player for these on a Windows 2000 OS?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Additional info. The wmv file that Bob Fry posted displays perfectly.

Anyone here ever landed in such a strong crosswind?
Found this posted to another group.


This is a great video of 747 and 777 doing auto land certification
crosswind landings, the 3rd and 4th shot are the best. It takes a
minute to download and get through the credits but its worth it.

It is hard to believe that these "digital" touchdowns don't shear off
the main landing gear.

Watch the 777's wings flex during the third clip.

Any idea what the soundtrack is? I'd love to get a (legal) copy of that.

I could swear there is a free web site where you can upload a music file and
have it identify the song for you, but I can't find the link for it right
now. I guess I'll have to leave off the "here, you can do it yourself"
comment.

Yikes, those were some sick xwinds - I was expecting to see the clip at
Hong Kong's Kai Tak of the 747 landing and dragging the #4 engine in a
shower of sparks...

I can just imagine the conversation on the 777 flight deck - F/O: "The
wind's one-eight-zero at 25..." CPT: "Great! Ask if two-seven is
available and have 'em roll the the trucks..This oughta be good..."

Okay, I found it: www.musicbrainz.org

Though, as it turns out, that song doesn't appear to be in their database
(at least, my attempt to look it up failed). So it wouldn't have helped
anyway.
