Sorry about that, it's the only version I have as of now. Here's a frame grab I did when I was previewing, literally a second or so after leaving the basket. If you look close, you can see the arm wings are only partially inflated, while the leg is already pretty pressurized. I did go a bit head low, but recovered nicely. Next time I'll make sure to do a nice mental count to 2 or 3 while forcing myself to keep that leg closed. It's your life, live it!

PMing you my email addy. Even though I am now the custodial parent, I wasn't for over 11 years, paid out the nose, was charged with a felony for being unemployed, and was constantly threatened with jail time. During those same 11 years, my son's mother earned a grand total gross income of just over 3 thousand dollars before support. 3 grand in 11 years. Just WHO was I supporting? Anyway, I specifically set up the current custody order without support, just as that letter suggests, though I would seriously enjoy ripping apart the state for what they have done to me in the past. If it it going in WI, or ever does, count me in. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Thanks Jarno. I would have loved to use the plug in, but my problem started when I couldn't even get the footage to my hard drive. Is it true what I hear about most equipment over there being able to play both standards? I wish it was like that here in my house. Every time I tried to get a PAL signal through my equipment, everything just froze up. I was just happy to get it to the hard drive. After that, it's a piece of cake! It's your life, live it!

I linked in the last post, but the name is 'wingsuit balloon2.wmv' Here, I'll link it again: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1723

Yes, yes he is! Though I wasn't really going the wrong way. I was piloting my own 'aircraft', and the last out literally landed right behind me, afer falling straight down. I flew the suit into the wind, and came back under canopy. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

In answer to a nice pm I just got, yes, this got cross posted. It's just a link, but here's my reasons: 1. Photography and video-for the PAL to NTSC conversion. 2. Wingsuits-for the exit (it is a wingsuit, ya know) 3. Here-For the hits only possible by posting to the Bonfire.

Just finally figured out a way to get PAL video through my NTSC camera, and on to my hard drive..... Balloon Wingsuit anyone?

Here's mine from Rantoul. My Clasic 1. I opened my leg wing a bit early, but it being a classic, it's forgiving. Anyway, once I built some airspeed.....WOW! It's cool though to go from the dead calm of the basket to the ground without ever really hearing a great amount of wind noise. I'm hooked on still air exits, that's for sure! http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1723 It's your life, live it!

OK, It's up. No big deal, but just showing that PAL-NTSC can be done really simply, and cheaply too.

Miss you too, B2. Yep, you got it right. It's only a 25 second or so clip, but it's there! Peanut and Lucky's wedding is there too, under Misc-Boogies.

OK, Katie, I recognize you, but who else is that in that picture, and does Chuck know about him? Hell, does he know about Chuck? I think he better run, fast. Nice pic. Still having a hard time believing Chuck is ok with you being that close to his stunt double, but WTH, go for it. It's your life, live it!

OK, here's the deal. I did my first balloon jump in Rantoul, and I did it in my BirdMan suit. Cool! Anyway, I had a friend tape my exit from the basket, before he exited. It turned out awsome! Now the problem. He's french. Yup, a PAL Sony PC series. Well, it firewired perfectly to my TRV 19 (NTSC), and plays on the LCD great! The problems started when I tried to get it off the tape on to my computer, or even a standard VHS tape. It just plain wouldn't work! Firewire into Studio and/or Premiere? Nope, frozen screen most of the time, and at best it captured 1 frame every 20 seconds or so. OK, try using the analog out into my VCR. Read above. Same problem. Straight to a tv? Same problem. Composite out into my ATI capture card? Same problem. Same card, input switched to PAL? Same problem. I came to the conclusion that it plays PAL video internally fine, but the output is NTSC no matter what, and trying to push a PAL framrate out of an NTSC feed just doesn't work. I figured out a way to get the footage on to the hard drive though, and you won't believe how. You know that ultra crappy software that ships with the Sony cams? (Well, it shipped with mine) Pixela ImageMixer? Yea, you guessed it. It works for this. But as far as I can tell, only through the USB connection. This computer only has a USB 1.1 port (not on the laptop), with an Athlon 2400+ (2 gig speed), and a whopping 256 megs of ram, a single 40 gig hard drive with about 25 gigs available, and it didn't drop a frame. The video is juuuust slightly choppy, and I think that can be attributed to the frame rate difference PAL @ 25fps previous to NTSC ~30fps now. Anyway, I uploaded it as about a 5 meg file or so to skydivingmovies.com, to the Wingsuit section, as Wingsuit Balloon2.wmv I'll post a link as soon as I know it's available. Just thought I'd post this, as I know it was frustrating the hell out of me, and then to find out that the super cheap, crappy included software was able to do it the whole time...... grrrrrr It's your life, live it!

I wish I could, Mar. 2 lil problems though. My Professors may not appreciate it, since the drive would certainly mean me missing a few classes, and my rig is being made in Florida (@#$#!#$!@#$!#@$!@#%@#!$!@#$$@!#$ Hurricanes), so I have only 'Dave's rig', and it's out of date.

Don't feel bad. I posted a link to a no longer existant Ebonics Air mp3. At least I caught it fairly quickly. I know where the .mov file is, but can anyone else find the mp3 file?

Which differs from your current plan of attack... how? So easy, almost too easy... it might be a trap. elvisio "fish in a barrel" Rodriguez Well, it would have been a trap, but set for someone else.
