Gladiators of the Sky DVD
This is the story of the recent Soaring Gran Prix in NZ. It is
exceptionally well done and I recommend it to everyone on this list. I think what they've done is right on target for making the excitement and beauty of soaring accessible to a wide audience. The air to air shots are fantastic. I'd like to see this broadcast and read here recently that there were some efforts underway to do just that. Does anyone know how to support the efforts to get this story broadcast? Is there a network I should call, write or email? |

Still the best gliding vid I have watched. Well done to all concerned! Bagger |

Knauff & Grove Soaring Supplies will have it in a few days.
Please watch our web site or sign up for our free newsletter for an announcement. The first shipment may not work on older DVD players. Another format for older DVD players will be offered in a few weeks. Either format will work on most computers with DVD players. "bagmaker" wrote in message ...

Gladiators of the Sky DVD
I just received "Gladiators of the Sky" from the SSA and was crushed
when my DVD player rejected the disk as incompatible (I live in Florida). Apparently, and understandably, its in a 'New Zealand' format: PAL. In the US and Japan we follow the NTSC format. Fortunately my iMac didn't gag on the disk and it is AWSOME. Unfortunately, I will not be able to captivate unsuspecting friends and family in my living-room with a big screen and surround sound with this incredible production. Either I don't have the right friends or the right personality, but I'm sure nobody will crowd around my computer screen in a confined space to wittness such a spectacular sport. I've run out of adjectives but I highly recommend the DVD in any format. Gene John wrote: On 21/5/06 2:32 AM, in article , "Gabriel Duford" wrote: Where can we buy it? From |

I suggest you take the DVD to a stroe and try it in DVD players in the
store. You will find most the newer DVD players will play it when you find one that plays it make a purchase. |

It's not some sort of local NZ format -- PAL is the standard format used everywhere in the world except the USA, Canada and Japan. And all of our DVD players (even the cheapest) and TVs can play your minority NTSC format as well. I don't know why your DVD player won't play the world-wide standard. It really can't add much to the cost, since DVD players selling here for $70 (US$45) do. World? That's that thing that goes from NY to California isn't it? It is worse Bruce, it cost's money to disable the PAL and SECAM decoding in the chipsets... -- Paul Repacholi 1 Crescent Rd., +61 (08) 9257-1001 Kalamunda.
