If you were on the DZ.com formation loads at the Eloy Holiday Boogie...

I apologize for not getting your videos to you by now. I have the movie done. I need some compression software to burn it to DVD, though, and I'll have that in a few days. The learning curve on the video to DVD software was steeper than I anticipated.

The movie goes 45 minutes and includes a bunch of fun jumps and nignoggery from Friday and Saturday, as well as all the formation jumps on Sunday, and the DC-3 flyby. I will also include nearly 400 stills from several of the attendees.

I've got two cameras on all the formation jumps and three camera angles on 4 of the six. Anyhow, I think it'll be worth the wait for you.

If you're all done waiting, I can transfer the raw footage from my camera to VHS and ship it to you in the next day or so. I think the DVD will be worth the wait and I should have it out by the first part of next week.

Thank you for your patience.

JP

Dave, originally everybody on the loads were going to get video of the jumps for instructional purposes. A couple of the jumpers asked if I could put it on DVD, and I had just bought a computer with that capability, but hadn't done it yet. I put it together when I got back to California, and then thrashed around with this ridiculous truncated version of Premiere that came with the machine.

With the help of my comrades in the camera forum I figured out I need better software, and it's coming.

The formation load jumpers have already paid. Once I square them away, we can work something out through PM's.

What she said. When it comes, it'll be like Christmas all over again. Where's the downside?

thanks for working on making it RIGHT, and not just OK.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Franck had back surgery last week. They put screws and rods in his lower back, I think he said L5. They fused the bottom ones, and are fitting him with a full torso brace so he can walk. I'll check on him later this week.

It's very nice of you to ask.B|
