Flip4Mac is a set of programs that let the Mac decode Windows "only" file formats, I.E. those that are not normally available outside of a Microsoft product. Windows media files, .wma and .wmv are the obvious examples. There should be nothing on a DVD in these formats. I've had Flip4Mac on my Mac for years and I still have issues. I'll see if there is a update available for my old hardware to see it helps. Mr Young, if you really hate your Mac, send it my way. If M.S. every ditches Ballmer and joins the 21st century, I might use Windows again, while not under duress. Until then, I'm a Mac/Linux guy. Jon, if you are listening, I love the DVDs and the news letter, but get some better authoring software!

Prospective Zodiac-at-Oshkosh Pilots: I am looking for a few other experienced formation pilots who might like to join me in showing the Bonanza, RV and warbird folks that they are not the only ones who can do it! I'd like to put together a 4-ship for the homebuilt review flights on Monday (and perhaps for an arrival flight on Sunday). I am putting out a call to any interested pilots with prior military, FFI or FAST training only, because there will be minimum time for organization and practice. What would be required is a briefing and at least one practice session away from Oshkosh, perhaps at Dodge County (KUNU), beforehand, most likely Sunday morning. For those of you planning earlier arrivals, it *is* possible to get out of Oshkosh in the morning and back in the same day, especially since we will have reserved :) parking spots. (Thanks to Joe!) Anyway, if any of you on the list are qualified and interested, please get back to me off-list. If we get a sufficient response, I'll work the coordination, scheduling and logistics.

When I insert the disk, DVD Player launches and the video runs. I am running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.6) on an intel Mac Mini and DVD Player Ver. 5.4. Check your system preferences under "CDs and DVDs" and make sure "Open DVD Player" is selected under "When you insert a video DVD". As I recall, I had trouble under earlier versions of the OS and used "VLC media player" to view the individual video files on the discs.
