Guys DVD Shrink is an ideal tool to "back up" your DVD's it will cut them down to a 4.7gb dvd without too much quality loss

Its like I say ideal for backing up ALL DVD movies etc.

Anyone on here from Norway who could act as intermediary?

I don't know anyone well enough in the Norwegian office of the company I work for to ask them to check it out - anyone else?

I think DanKH is the closest and he's in Denmark :think:

I'll do so, Dave, I promise!

First of all, sorry - it took some time till I got back here - just remembered that one.
I have ordered the 1-11 video by Jump Seat Productions and allow myself to post a brief comment for those interested.

Actually the dvd covers a ‘real time’ unedited flight deck film produced in 1992 in a Ryanair 1-11-500 from Stansted to Dublin (weather is mezzo-mezzo, cloudy with light rain). As sort of a frame you'll have a landing sequence in Stansted and the T/O sequence in Dublin filmed from the outside (sadly accompanied by music) - the rest is the pure Cockpit work. You can follow the flight in every detail, most conversations between the pilots are clearly audible. Here are some further pros and cons:

no cuts, enough time to get arranged with things
camera focuses on the instruments relevant to each flight phase (sticks a little long there sometimes)
conversation, atc and pax address are clearly audible
nice approach following a steep dive*

Camera sometimes fights with the lighting conditions
Camera sometimes a little shaky - that makes it feel kind of not professionally done, although it definitely isn't!
No comments by the crew, nothing, just their usual work (no small talk neither)
No footage showing the cabin

*Once thing that surprised me was the steep dive during descent (Gee, do I read 4000ft desc rate!?) -
I'm wondering how the pressure system gets along with this?

Finally for me the DVD was worth the price and I would recommend it to fans - if you're interested please find out more here:

However that doesn't mean I'll give up the search for the EUROPEAN DVD from World Air Routes

Best to you all,
