It is great they sent a CD with the Directory. But can someone please tell me how to view it. I have looked through the Directory and find nothing about it. I have tried all afternoon to get it to play. Have updated Windows many times. Have Updated Media Player may times. Still it will not play. Does anyone know how to view this thing?
....to give AAW members who have not attended a symposium the flavor of what it's like at one.
I also watched the DVD last night....even though I was there in Louisville last year, it was great to see some additional clips from rotations I could not get to, and some of the pieces in the various galleries. It is a mini-tutorial for a few projects and techniques presented by recognized woodturning experts; those that haven't seen it yet will appreciate it - an hour well spent in front of "the tube".
This DVD was an excellent "bonus" (as was the sharpening DVD last year), and I hope this year's symposium will be similarly documented. Do we know if plans are in place to do a parallel DVD of the 2007 Symposium to be distributed in next year's membership renewal/Resource Directory mailing?
Rick, you may need a DVD decoder installed on your computer to view DVD's with your player. That software usually comes with the software for your player.
Yes my son installed a new program to watch the DVD with. Now if it just didnt have the glitch in it that it stops in the same place every time I play it. The disc was marred when I received it and it stops right toward the end of the segement on pierced lid. That is the part I would really like to see the finishing of. Ok well that is life, I will try to find another member here that may have the a disc I can watch.
One thing you can try is to wash the dvd with warm water and dish washing soap, then pat the dvd dry, (DON'T Rub the dvd or you can scratch it). Washing it won't hurt the dvd and it will remove any film that is on the surface of the disk.

A flaw like that typically means that it is the TOP side of the disk that is scratched and NOT the bottom. In such a case, there is noting that can be done to fix it and you could call AAW and ask for a replacement.
WOW!!! What a quality organization we have with AAW. The DVD sent with the directory is worth the price of membership all by itself.
Way cool......... :cool2:

You're taunting those turners who have not joined . Seriously, it is very good and it gave me a good flavor of what goes on during the symposium. Portland was a bit far to travel ... maybe next year. Where will it be next year?
