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.

Just include the full link somewhere on the page:

For that matter, anyone who wants to can use the above link to save it.

It's because you used the "embed" tag (which is obsolete, having been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.

Thanks, guys. As always, I'm learning "on the fly" with this stuff. I'll
be making those additions shortly...

Gee, while you're at it, could you take a look at my new "floor plan
schematics" and tell me what you think? (See them at
http://alexisparkinn.com/floor_plans_&_descriptions.htm ).

Mary seems to think that they are the best thing on our site, since they
give potential guests a chance to see EXACTLY what their suite will look
like, from a "God's Eye" view. In this regard, photos of the suites don't
work as well...

I'm not done with all of them, yet (it's fairly labor intensive to measure
the suites and create the schematics) but I'm hopeful that visitors to the
site will find them useful. Certainly more useful (if perhaps not as fun!)
as our popular "Aviation Videos" page! :-)

Any suggestions are welcome, however!

Thanks...

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?

The only problem with using MPEG over WMV is that WMV gives you greater
compression - at least that's been my experience. If somebody knows of a
method to get a comparable image/sound quality into an MPEG clip for about
the same disk space, I'm all ears.

RealMedia gives video quality similar to WMV but lower audio quality for
about the same disk size. Unfortunately, RealPlayer installs background
tasks that border on spyware.

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.

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