  1. Yeah it should . When you choose TAPE I can only assume that it renders the movie into a temp file (type 2 avi), then outputs it to the camcorder - which is what I'm doing anyway. The only reason I'm trying to do it this way is that the TAPE option doesn't work... Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  2. I've tried just about every combination of switching things on, starting things up, dancing in circles etc that you can think of. I've spent too much time online on this but I hadn't thought to post the question here. I'm 99% sure it's not a hardware problem: I have an 80gb, 7200rpm, Maxtor hdd on it's own ide channel with DMA access set. Besides which I can export (but only Type 1 avi's) and I've never had problems capturing. I'd love to figure this out! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  3. Yes there is that () but my workaround isn't flawless and the process still cuts out alot, just alot less than not using the workaround. Aside from the fact that I shelled out £60 (or thereabouts) for Studio 7 I reckon Studio 8 will just do the same thing. Why, are you using Studio 8? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  4. I've only got 10 jumps so far but on the Classic I was borrowing my best was 105 seconds, from 13500 feet down to 5500. If the weather ever improves and I can jump my new Gti I'll tell you how I get on! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  5. Hi everyone, I'm using Pinnacle Studio 7 to edit videos from my Sony PC9. Generally everything works fine until it comes to exporting the finished video back onto the camcorder. It starts, then within a few seconds I get a very blocky/start-stop image, then it simply stops. The workaround I've found is this: (1) Create finished video (2) Use a special app to convert the finished video, which is in Type 2 avi into Type 1 avi (3) Use another app to export the new avi to the camcorder Here's some blurb about the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 avis. My question is this: why does this work? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  6. I know, but thanks anyway. I'm currently looking for sponsors to help me jump more often and therefore do more video monkeying - are you offering? It's not online at the moment. Oh yes, and it's crap! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  7. Well it's pretty difficult to get onto my () jumps as their always oversubscribed. You'd best try harder in the future and you might get a starring role in Outpatients 3! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  8. Who can tell me where the best place is to buy a Playstation 2 and some games in the UK/online? Also has anyone got any of these games, I reckon they're what I'll start with: gta vice city pro evolution soccer 2 gt3 tony hawk 3 virtua fighter 4 Ta!
  9. Yes, it's finally happened. Following the success of his first feature film 'Outpatients: Take 1', acclaimed skydiver and videographer Gus Hutchison-Brown is pleased to announce the 2nd release of the 'Outpatients' series, imaginatively titled 'Outpatients: Take 2'. Featuring stunning video captured by one of the leading proponents of his generation, 'Outpatients: Take 2' is a wild ride through 2 crazy weeks of death defying skydiving stunts performed over the beautiful Belvoir Valley. Laugh as up-and-coming photographer Sam Bailey head-buts Steve Newman on exit, cry as you watch Gus himslef reach the rabbit first but fail to snap the trailing tape, let your jaw drop in awe as new birdman Phil Alan performs the now famous 'Phil Alan Death Roll'. Let me know what you think! (7 mins, wmv, 18 megs) Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  10. Must be an American thing. Am I the only one who was left wondering who the hell is Al Sharpton? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  11. Nor was it stated that Elvis was going to give me £1 for every person I forwarded this message to. I just assumed that bit. Seriously though, it does piss me off when people help to proliferate this shite. Bad juju. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  12. Is it not bleedingly obvious that this is a hoax? MacAfee and Symantec have pages on this. Gus Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  13. If you're in a group of three or more people then surely not everyone can track 90 degrees to the flight line. I think the answer here is to make sure you leave big enough gaps between groups and don't track more than you need to. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  14. You'd think a big expensive James Bond film could afford an on-heading opening! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

    46" ZP PC with a cap

    I'm guessing but maybe becasue at higher airspeeds instabilities of the pilot chute effect opening characteristics less than at low airspeeds? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

    Well, I think you're being a little flippant to be honest. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

    Steady on Skreamer, that sounded like an intelligent and considered opinion being expressed in Talk Back. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  19. I haven't used the PalNTSC converter but I bought the "aDVanced DV File Converter". When I emailed him (?) about a bug I found he fixed it almost immediately and had an update on the website almost as soon. His customer service seems very good, as do his products. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

    containers

    Most rig manufacturers publish suitable canopy sizes for their different containers on their website. If you're looking at an Atom I know that pdf put that info on their website. I have an Atom Classic, size 0, that I bought with a Spectre 150 in it, now has a Spectre 135 in it and could probably squeeze a 170 in it. Given that you'll probably want to downsize after a while I'd try to find a container where your 190 was the biggest canopy that will fit. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  21. You'd best quit skydiving then!
  22. I know you know this now but at higher freefly speeds initiating break-off at 4500 doesn't really give you that much time, especially if you've 'lost' someone and need to check your airspace. Glad you made it ok

    Who's done a BASE fjc?

    Well that's what I was wondering. What if the best fjc isn't run by the best gear manufacturer? Or the best rig has a container from one place and a canopy from somewhere else? Hey Skreamer, you gonna come with me? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
  24. What a cracking film! I didn't get lots of it (and I've seen it twice) but that's half the fun. How many films can get away with having one of its central characters as a man in a bunny suit?

    Who's done a BASE fjc?

    Who out there has done a first jump course with CR/BR/Vertigo etc? Did you buy a rig with them at the same time? What was the course like? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
