Ordered this late last Thursday night, received it at 08.00 on Monday. Looks very good.

Open the txt file to find the ebay address.
Thank's

I finaly got a copy and it doesn't play on my DVD player.
It only plays on the computer.

Sounds like a good excuse for a new DVD player, Bob!

(got mine, too, but haven't tried it yet)

What region is the DVD ?

See this list

Depending on the DVD player, it may have a physical lock indicating which region DVD's it will play.
Or it may have a software lock (Arcam for one are like this )

Do a google for "DVD type"+region+hack and you might find the appropiate software code to add.

I cannot be certian that a hack will exist, or if there are any risks in using these. All I know is that I have hacked my Arcam DV88P to be region Zero and it will play anyhing

I cant play it on either one of my DVD players or my PC

Mine works fine on the PC, although you could hear the laser tracking back and forth pretty hard at the beginning like it was searching for something.

I like it so far - now I know where to mount a bridle fly on my Tiger!

Ebay account has ended. Would love to purchase this, not real sure I want to purchase thru Multihulls mag. Does it get shipped from France?

Well I bought a new DVD player $159.oo
I had to try a bunch of players at Circuit City to find one that worked.
In the manual it says that the player will work for Region 1 DVD’s and for DVD’s that do not specify a Region. I think most DVD players in the US only play Region 1 DVD’s.
Since this DVD works on this player I’m guessing that there is no region code specified on the DVD.
The video is great but at a total cost of over 200 bucks it’s hard to recommend it.
After doing all the hard work I’d think they would be able to sell DVD’s in Region Code 1. Hopefully they will figure it out.

You will be surprised, try the google search and see what comes up.

Anyone figure out why this dvd won't work on TV but will in the computer??? My Sony is less than a year old I'm not buying another one...

Works great on my X-Box. No problems. Good video and narration.

DVD region codes are the problem. An earlier poster described what you can encounter. Suggest following his instructions on googling your "player model/hack/codes" to locate one of the sites with info on your player. Some of the manufacturers may also provide a fix DVD.

Below is a site link that may help out.

Hey Jim-

I thought it was interesting how Booth said "Tornados" are the fastest production beach cat...

I bought a cheapie DVD player from K-Mart....plays fine...

Love the DVD - thanks. Was really surprised to get some new-to-me rigging tips on the Mystere 4.3 (called the Tyka in Europe).

Well worth the dough!

I saw this listing on ebay when it first came out, as a beginer I was spooked buy no sailes so thanks for your reviews I just ordered mein today.

Ok I've been looking for away to get a couple of young people involved in catsailing. Today I showed the dvd [on my computer still can't make it work on the TV] in total. All I heard was WHEN DO I GET TO GO??? Thanks for making this simple enough for a newbie to follow. Also my goddaughter is quoting Booths comment about strength being 10%...Great job!!!

Just got mine

Well worth the money.

Shame there wasn't more Tornado footage........ Or stronger breeze. Probably should have shot some footage in OZ for better wind

There is 30 minutes of high quality Tornado footage on the DVD !

How much more do you want ?

Wouter

4 hours and 30 minutes more of course. Tornado sailing is like AIDS you know..

Has anyone played the DVD on a Playstation 2?

I can't get it to play...

Yes, it worked fine on my Playstation 2.

My good, expensive Sony DVD player wouldn't play it, but my $29.95 off brand player I keep in my office does just great.

What DVD Players (Brand & Model) Do You Have (US)?

My Playstation 2 & DVD player are only Region 1 - what models/brands do you guys have that allow playback in the US?

Please advise!

Thanks

My JVC player (approximately 5 years old) plays it just fine. As does my computer at work and at home. It's a superb DVD.

Ordered the DVD and I agree, it is great!!

Encountered the same region play problems though. Here is what my research found:

1. USA produced/destined DVD players are mostly restricted to play region 1 coded DVD's only. Some existing inventory stock may still play without restrictions but the newer units are moving towards coding by region. Thank the movie industry for this one.

2. Windows PC based DVD players will allow up to 5 region code play changes and then will lock onto the last DVD code played (thanks to Bill Gates for this one).

I have 3 newer DVD players and one PC based unit. None of the DVD players will work (all are region 1 only). The PC unit does but I need to use due care so I don't lock it out of region 1 DVD's.

Some DVD player models remain "soft encoded" so you are able to use hack codes to over-ride the lockout. Newer units are hard wired so you cannot over-ride. I did confirm with Panasonic, Pioneer, Best Buy and one of the local factory authorized repair shops.

If you are buying you may be able to snatch up a region 0 (all regions) player. They are also offered on the Internet with the region encoding over-ridden.

I have communicated with the producer and they are working on a region 1 release. I have been advised one will be available in about 30-60 days.

Hope this helps.
