Assuming the necessary clearances can be obtained from EAA, why not put all 

the forums and the dinner on DVD? I think EAA has a policy of some sort about 

distributing videos taken at the convention.



It would be worth a few bucks to see what went on, if it won't all fit on the 

single disk that accompanies the newsletter. Maybe the dinner could be on one 

disk, and the forums on another.



I'm aware that DVD-5 is supposedly limited to an hour of video, but there is 

software that can squeeze things so that two hours fit on one DVD-5 disk.

Hello Jim,

  

 I think that if there is the case of the videos are going to be sent in DVD, the simplest and "standardd" system is better,  one that most (if possible all) home DVD sets can read...

Mark,



The official EAA site, http://www.eaaapps.org/forumsearchresults.aspx?presenter=766, has the first two forums reversed from what you show.   Are you sure your information is correct????

The info I have is from the Zenith site and I believe that the EAA website

will be updating.

Gary, DVD-5 is the amount of data the DVD holds, not the format of the disk. 

I'm guessing the DVDs we're getting are DVD-5s, because they usually have 

only one hour of video on them. But that's only a guess, and it may not be 

the case.



I'm concerned that I'm pushing this off into a discussion of DVD technology, 

which probably doesn't belong on the Zenith forum. If someone wants to 

discuss it more, I'll be glad to discuss it, but please contact me directly.

AirVenture has very strick rules about filming on their premises.... (you 

may not film forums for commercial use!)



However, if I am able to record the presentation, I would make it available 

on DVD for newsletter members (free) but only by individual request and not 

as part of each newsletter.  This way, I think I would be adhering to the 

spirit of the rule.



It is my opinion that this presentation will be rehashing mostly old news 

about this topic (I was in attendance at the Sun n Fun version 2 months 

ago!) There was little content that would have been useful to most readers. 

(esp for 701, 801, 750 builders,etc)  It reminded me of  local city meetings 

where unhappy people vent their frustrations and questions that cannot 

possibly be answered get asked over and over by the same group of people...



And yes, we break the 1hr DVD recording barrier whenever needed.... variable 

compression at burning time allows up to 2 hrs per disk, at the sacrifice of 

video quality.  A great accomplishment by the "standards" committees: that 

DVD with your newsletter works on every player in the WORLD...very 

impressive!  The biggest problem is that some computer DVD players do have 

issues.... they are not created equal... but that $29 stand alone DVD player 

from Walmart always works!



I will be concentrating on filming/interviewing pilots with their Zenith 

aircraft at Airventure... so if you are planning on flying in and want to 

share your story of flight and aircraft, please advise me so I can find you! 

Also, it is always fun to film the builder's dinner... so if you cannot make 

it this year, I want to be able to share that experience with you.  This is 

what the newsletter & video are for!



If you have other ideas/suggestions, let me know!  The issue out next month 

has some neat interviews from the recent ZAC fly-in..... did you know there 

is a gentleman that is building his 7th Zenith aircraft kit!  By the time I 

was done talking with him I wanted to place an order with ZAC...

Thanks
