Anyone Have IMC Approach Vid ?

[Izzy Roxx]

Lookin' for about the last 60 seconds of an approach in IMC, down to minimums. CAT I good, CAT II even better. Any approach lighting system good, ALSF-I/II - better.

Furloughed, no cocpit access. FSI won't help out, security and all.

Thanks

It really gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that there are some pukes at the regionals capturing an approach on video instead of adhearing to a sterile cockpit. The only saving grace to this is that maybe the jet was empty. That way they'll only kill themselves! If I were to catch some crew doing this while I was riding in the back (lets say they were viewing the tape as I got off the jet) would I be blacklisted if I cramed that camera down their throat!?!?!?

If you want to be a producer, get out of the cockpit!

Nice !

A little jumpy. But sweet none-the-less. Thanks.

Anyone else ?

BTW - lighten up francis.

Uh -

I gotta edit that into a vid, so anyone smart enough to tell me how to pick it up as a WMV or MPG ?

"save target as" is no good.

that's the one there baby !

thanks a bunch !

Now for the computer literate - how the hell do I get that without having to use "SnagIt" (sucks).

I use the VideoDownloader plug-in for Firefox, followed by iSquint to convert the downloaded .flv file to the format of my choice. Works like a champ.

That's on a Mac. If you're on Windows, the plug-in will work, but I don't know what to use in place of the converter program.


And I agree, lighten up guys. I've thrown a video camera on the dash (on a Part 91 repo flight, of course! ), turned it on, and let it run. It's not like I'm holding it and shooting video.

 

[Izzy Roxx]

Well - "You Tube" vid files are those bastard shock wave files.

Someone once told me to find the code in the 'source' file and do something with it - but I forgot.

I suck.

I'll try your advice

Yup -- what the VideoDownloader extension does is extract them from the site, doing the work for you so you don't have to dig through the source file. That's what the resulting ".flv" file is -- a Flash video file.

Once it's extracted, then you just need to find a converter. I already posted a link for one of the Mac programs that can do it. I did a little digging and found one for Windows as well: the Riva FLV encoder, which can also decode the FLV files into AVI or MPG files. That should do the trick!

 

[Izzy Roxx]

Well -

I don't gotta Mac. lemme see her ....

 

[Izzy Roxx]

I use IE, not firefox

 

[CA1900]

Well, I can't help you extract the video if you use IE. My recommendation is to get Firefox, at least for this project. It's a much better general use browser than IE anyway -- it has more features, it's more secure, and it's absolutely free. And it lets you extend it with plug-ins, such as this video extratctor. Without the plug-in, I have no idea how to pull a youtube.com video.


Get Firefox, the plug-in, and the Riva transcoder, and you should be in good shape.

I converted the Cat III landing into an MPEG-4 file and put it up if that makes life easier for ya:

[Izzy Roxx]

K. Got it in a .FLV file now.

Lemme see if I can convert it to something Adobe Premiere will accept.

Thanks for the help.
