Can't watch it :(

.wmv has to be the WORST video file type ever created.

Works only sometimes.  I'm using WMP 8... gives me crap about "error loading codec" and nothing.  Poop

I'm using WM9... I believe they used a DiVX codec.

Got WMP9.. works now :p

And they're pretty good!  Iron Maiden plays at the end... wonderful :)

Although I liked the Italian flying team's video a little more

I especially liked that tandem aileron roll with each plane inverted to the other.

Right, their flying definitely quite skilled... but the choppiness and overall quality of the video killed it.  File size must have been huge before the cut.

Quick question, what are the names of those songs?  The first is well-known... but I can't for the life of me figure out the composer... and the second song is a funky disco-ACDC mix :)

Hmmm... didn't seem choppy to me... in fact, it's a much higher resolution than the PAV vid.

I believe the music is listed with the credits at the end.

I don't quite like WMV either.. with windows 98 i had severe problems with some WMVs, severe enough to lock up the windows.
Not perfect with XP and MP9 either..

Be nice to watchthem live.
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life." - Chief Tecumseh
