  1. a couple of people said that they had trouble viewing the video clip - because they didn't have Windows Media Player 9. So I edited all the video on the cd-rom and included it as both wmv and MPeg files. The cd now has 600 mbs of data! I included a sample mpeg file on the demo page at http://www.sidsrigging.com/Articles/packing/packing_demo.htm warning - it may take a while to download, the whole idea of putting the guide on cd was that I didn't have to worry about download times or sacrifice image quality pd Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  2. there is a short video clip showing a flaked canopy and the line groups on a demo page on my site. This was the smallest file size (they were saved for a cd-rom so now downloading considerations) and it is meant to be viewed following the preceeding clip which actually demonstrates the flaking process. It's 5 mbs so could take a while to download on a dial-up (sorry). The url is here http://www.sidsrigging.com/Articles/packing/packing_demo.htm and the cd can be viewed here http://www.cafeshops.com/sidspecialties hope that everyone has a safe and fun-filled weekend, now excuse me I need more coffee "SHARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  3. I just looked at the library of clips and the smallest one is 5.2 mb. I am pretty sure that's too much to upload here isn't it?

  4. Okay - the cd-rom is now available at the web site http://www.sidsrigging.com Those that reviewed it for me found it useful, the pages that are for free on the web site are enhanced on the cd with more illustrations, 12 video clips and a photo slide show. In all over 350 mbs of data that you can view on any pc with a browser and windows media player.

  5. Quote5 cell technology is quite a bit older. As you would expect, a 5 cell has a much lower aspect ratio, so it's glide slope is even steeper than a 7 cell. It's pretty much one step above a round. Actually I'd rather jump a round. Did a few jumps on some old 5 cell's we found laying around in Fla one time and they freakin' hurt man! Save your cash and get a good reserve. pd http://www.sidsrigging.com Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  6. Just wanted to let everyone know that I have a study guide for pro-packing on the web site http://www.sidsrigging.com under skydivers information. There will soon be a cd-rom available at my on-line store that has an extra 11 video clips and a photo slide show, but the basic course can be viewed for free. pd Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
