[NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

I've taken responsibility for attempting to improve match videos in NE FIRST this year. I'll be updating this thread as I upload videos for events.

I'll be uploading match videos to www.youtube.com/NewEnglandFIRST

As of writing this post, I've uploaded Granite State and Reading match video.

NE FIRST has the recordings for Waterbury and Pioneer Valley, but they're far from me geographically and I'm working to get the videos for splitting and uploading.

Would you happen to have a recording of the Reading Award ceremony?

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Thank you very much, people like you taking the time to do stuff like this make the world go round.

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Thanks so much for these videos. The NE webcast and match videos are, without a doubt, the best I've ever seen. Streaming on Twitch works with gameday and doesn't have many ads, the resolution is very high, the audio is good, and the scoring overlay is always present. Having the videos split and uploaded to youtube is very helpful too.

I'm looking forward to watching some of the Waterbury match videos.

I just added Reading to the TBA spreadsheet

@Ty - if you ping me when another event's playlist is complete, I'd be happy to make sure it gets added for TBA

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

I have it. I'll upload tonight

I'm uploading the awards ceremony for Reading now. It should be done in about 10-15 minutes.

Thanks for doing this Ty!

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Very, very much seconded! It's a huge service to all the teams competing and for NE as a whole to gain better visibility nationwide!

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Ty,

Thanks for doing this. Its a great service to NE and FIRST in general. Anything we can help with to make the process easier? You mentioned having trouble getting access to the Waterbury and Pioneer videos because of the geographical location of NE FIRST headquarters..

We personally are about an hr away from their location. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help
I think there are a few CT teams located a bit closer.

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Thanks! I should have been more clear. The AV company currently has the match video for Waterbury on their streaming rig. I'm at UMD now and have Pioneer Valley video. I'll look to find out where the rig will be next and maybe someone can track it down if it's not at UNH.

I've developed a little software to help with the video splitting and its going along nicely.

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Actually, maybe there is a way to help.

My car was broken into last night the hard drive with the PVDE video was among the things that were stolen.

I'm working with the AV company and they have a few recordings, but most of them are corrupted.

Does anyone have the knowhow to attempt to fix these files? My suspicion is that they were never properly ended when their recording software crashed

They're in the order of 1-4 GB, so I'm not sure how to distribute them.

Re: [NE FIRST] Match Video Mega Thread
 

Sorry to hear,

You can use google drive or dropbox to host files that big and share them with the public. Many report google drive has a very slow upload, including myself, so I would try to use dropbox instead to save you some pain with GD.

Once you share the link, many people can try to repair the files in parallel. Depending on what is causing the file to be corrupt there are many tools you can use. VLC can try to repair very basic corruptions.

If you have the files hosted publicly, I wouldn't mind spending some time to try and repair them.

Regards,
Kevin

Sorry to hear that Ty. :(

There is a new program called Mega for file sharing with the first 50GB free which might be easier for sharing around a lot of files.

Here is a video from PVDE early Saturday morning:
