New PT Gyro Video

[PT Gyro]

I have uploaded a new PT Gyro video. It is about 2 minutes long in .AVI format and is approx. 6.5 megs in size.
The video shows taxi out, takeoff, left and right turns, slow cruise and landing. Wind speed was less than 5 mph.
Notice the smooth turns which show the performance of our "Ninja" delta 3 head in the left and right turns. No tucking,
rolling or pitching.

Sales have been brisk but we still have a few kits in stock. We will not produce another run
of 1/2a PT Gyro's until after the new year. We will be working on our next release which is the PT25 and
concentrating on completing our website.

Right click on the link and select "save target as" then save to the desktop or the directory of your choice.
You can then double click the link you saved to view the video.
If anyone knows a good combination of video recording settings and compression software to get good
quality in an acceptable file size please let me know.........

Here's the link to the video, http://www.flyingbalsa.com/PT%20video.avi

New XP operating systems won't play this video, can you make
an mpeg available?

I can try.

I have played it on my XP service pack2 system using windows media player.
It will not play directly from the link in the thread, you have to save the file on the hard drive then play it from there.........

I tried this also, both real and windows media player (new ones) say that they need to download the Indeo codec to play, then they try to load it and fail. A trip to the indeo web site says the big M company dropped support
for Indeo codecs a while back and they will happily sell you an Indeo codec
for $14.95. I want to see you video but this is kinda going over the edge...
Thanks.
I make videos with sony digital handy cam, bring them USB to the sony image mixer then save them as mpegs. Most people seem to be able to play mpegs and the free realvideo player will play them....
