A little off topic here...
Bulkhead -- regarding your questions about video pictures giving you the pilot's view, I've copied and pasted the following from the Emirates website for you. Enjoy!

Our in-flight entertainment guarantees there won’t be a dull moment when you’re flying with Emirates.
Click through to our interactive screen to see what you could be watching in the skies.
Why not start your flight with a sensational pilot's eye view of take-off from one of our flying cameras(i); enjoy the extraordinary sight of the world's scenery from 35,000 feet and keep up-to-date with the progress of your journey - how far you've travelled and other flight statistics - via our Airshow(ii) flight information system.
You'll find all this on one of our 14(iii) TV channels available on your own high definition liquid crystal touch-screen TV, in front of your seat. In addition you'll also discover 22(iv) radio stations, which include programmes from many of Emirates destinations and languages from around the globe.
And that's not all. Every seat onboard an Emirates flight is fitted with a credit card-operated satellite phone(v), so there's no need to be out of touch with your family, friends or business colleagues for long. We can even send a fax for you while you're onboard. Satellite calls cost just US $5 a minute to anywhere in the world.
