RAN Collins Class Documentary - Sky TV

lesrae · 04-05-06, 04:43 PM

I don't know if this has been mentioned on here before, I didn't see it on a scan of search results, apologies if it has.

Sky TV are showing a series of 6 documentaries on the RAN submarine HMAS Rankin, it's on Sky 3 (Freeview Channel 11) in the mornings at around 0700 and 1000.

I taped one this morning, doesn't seem too bad, a bit like the HMS Splendid one that was shown on the BBC a few years ago - it shows them doing work-up, fires-floods-famines etc. It also had mock attacks on HMAS Adelaide and HMAS Arunta, nice shots of the fire control systems and audio of the sonar.

Lesrae would it be possible for you to copy/burn thi series for the dishless?

I'll see what I can do, although you don't need to have sky, it's also on Freeview if you've got that. I tried to copy yesterday's episodes on my DVD-R, but it messed up. I'll try again today. The same happened with the submarine museum documentary I was going to record.

The main problem is converting it from DVD to a suitable media to view on a PC, I've looked all over for a free one but no joy - any ideas anyone?

If you want to get the retail version DVD released in Australia (well worth it, i love my copy

) You foreigners could get it from e-bay (i 've seen many on sale there) or probably from another online site with the help of everyones friend, google.

Or if you cant afford it/be bothered/ dont have a credit card then you could follow your route of piracy

Very good point, I'll just keep it for personal viewing, although I didn't realise there was a DVD available, so I'll probably get that. I've been meaning to get a copy of the HMS SPLENDID series the BBC did, I'll have a look for both
