Looking documentary films on Video or DVD
There was no mention here in the forum about anykind of documentaries on video or dvd format.
I posted this into the falcon 4.0 area as the material I'm looking for is for both theaters... Vietnam and Desert Storm. Also other kind of good war documentary or specific aircraft/special forces etc material is very welcome.
My collection currenly is poorly equipped with one 4hour BBC documentary about the Gulf War and one 3h video cassette full of Discovery Channel "Wings" series about the gulf war aircrafts. I need more.
The format I'm looking for is of course DVD but it might be that most titles arent release for dvd, so video pal/ntsc will do just fine.
Here is something I found on dvdempire about Vietnam war, the two disc dvd package contains 624mins of material, whoah!
http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.a ... m_id=13039
So, please guys recommend me some good documentaries.
Thanks.

Re: Looking documentary films on Video or DVD
Thanks, received it.
Actually its not any specific video "clip" what I'm looking for... just normal cnn/discovery/etc type of documentary. Of course its my intention to bring something from it to the theaters I'm building, whether its just knowledge or actual video material (this would be best taken from DVD source).
What do you guys think about the link that was posted above, two dvd discs of Vietnam war material?

Re: Looking documentary films on Video or DVD
The nam package is up to you,personally i wouldn't get it, you want the air war stuff. Now i have video, but would need to get it converted to dvd in order to send it to you. I will ask my friend who is capable of doing this if its worth it. Then we would have tons of material. I got gulf war stuff too.

Re: Looking documentary films on Video or DVD
I have several video's that are no longer produced on the air war in nam and the gulf. I purchased some in the late 1980's, early 90's.. I could get them converted to dvd(which i should do) or i could send you PAL video. The bn option is best because i have that program on tape its called alpha strike, its more than enough on nam, Col. Broughton is interviewed, excellent program. I'll order 2 copys, they are cheap, and send you one, how's that?

Re: Looking documentary films on Video or DVD
That is very expensive, I've heard that the empty DVD-R disc costs more then normal hollywood movie dvd disc on stores. Of course, if we are talking film material that is "not available" anymore and we want to save the quality for years to come, then it would be good idea to convert it to vcd/dvd format.quote:Originally posted by brewskie:

Have you find out how much would one videotape -> DVD burning cost?
Hmm you said order, are they still available somewhere? Or did you mean you have two tapes home right now?quote:or i could send you PAL video. I'll order 2 copys, they are cheap, and send you one, how's that?
It would be very nice indeed if you could send me one. Of course if we talk about stuff thats still available on the stores, then I should order it directly so there is not too much trouble for you.

To bring up this important topic (for me), I'm still looking for anykind of war documentaries on Vietnam and Desert Storm, also as this is six years bump for this topic we now also need Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom documentaries.
As the internet bandwidth capabilities and transfer networks like torrent has blown wide open since the initial 2001 posts in this topic, now I'd be very happy to receive download links for videos of anykind.
So if you have knowledge of documentary types of videos on the net, or some excellent dvd documentaries in shops, please let us know in this topic.
At currently I do have the mentioned Secret War documentarys on DVD and 30+ VHS tapes of Fox News live feed from Operation Iraqi Freedom, but those tapes are not available to me at this time and needless to say capturing & converting such huge amount of material into computer would require substantial investment on hardware (capture card, insane hard drive space and then finally time to encode and burn them to dvdr). But at least I have them stored in safe place for future use.

Video Ook plugin for FireFox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2584/
I'm sure there are other apps out there.
I don't really have any favorites bookmarked or anything, but search for any plane you're interested in, or theater.
For instance "Iraq aircraft combat" search pops up some interesting stuff. Even just "combat aircraft."

Ran a youtube search for Iran military. Some interesting clips.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM_dWqsUmmA
- not sure that's all Iranian hardware, though. If it is, they sure have an interesting diversity of aircraft!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNQNjzif-ik
- Iranian wargames - some of the same clips
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR4ugMwhZCc
- they've tricked out an F-5, too.

I quickly glanced it through, I can recommend it as there is quite nice flying scenes. I have no clue of the Nevada Nellis redflag realism, but if nothing else its nice flying footage.
Are there similar videos/movies like this out there?
Also btw, is there any comprehensive documentary made from beginning to an end of Operation Iraqi Freedom?
