Ever hear of Charles C Peterson? Check out "Take A Cue" on IMDB.com.

It's an old video of trick shots done on a carom table. Its funky but kinda fun to watch.

And the narrator is a bit over the top. Anyway I copied it tonight and set up my little camera to video it but the damn battery went dead. OK, I have 2 spares. Oops both dead!

So I made a DVD copy, converted it to MP4 to play on an iPad, iPhone or PC. I tested it and it works fine. Excellent quality.

If anyone wants a copy I can add a link so you can download it directly. Just post a reply so I will know.

There are a bunch of utilities/programs that convert MP4's to DVD. I've never used one so I can't recommend anything. I use Handbrake to convert DVD's to MP4's.
 
Charlie Petersen was a pretty epic character. Shot his ass off from what I understand. Also played a huge role in the politics of Brunswick, he was partially responsible for getting Greenleaf blackballed.

I too would like to see the video, and potentially post it as well on our museum website.
 
Charlie "Sunshine" Peterson was a huge influence on pool, especially for younger players. He was instrumental in reaching out to younger players in colleges, YMCA's and other youth organizations. He was a great showman, an amazingly skilled player, and a charming gentleman...a sincere credit to the sport 70+ years ago.

The video would be a unique contribution since there is nothing on the web that I could find.
