Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

Maybe I'm reading what you're saying wrong or something, because this appears way too obvious to me...but NASA TV is already on cable (probably need digital cable, though) and satellite.

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

Well, four members of out team are going down to VCU Richmond to get the parts. but rest of out team will be in school watching the kickoff. Our school don't provide us with the NASA channel, so we are tryin to get the webcast. I really don't know how reliable it is, but i guess it worth a try ;)

Thanks for the info.

Happy Holidays to all,

Anybody out there have any experience with capturing streaming video on a Mac running OS X Tiger? I found this bit of software but would like to here from others before adding $70 to my amex bill. :]

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

According to the NASA TV schedule of events, the kickoff will be broadcasted.

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

To Andrew S:

1) I believe that NASA always makes a downloadable version of the kickoff available after the event

2) To capture a stream on a PC, use TechSmith Camtasia or use a graphic board that has analog outputs to a VCR, DVR, etc

That's really the only thing I've found. You can use it for 30 days for free if that helps any. :)

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

He is saying that you need to get NASA TV from cable or satellite rather than from the internet because the quality will be better.

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

our team was able to get a minor sponsorship in the local cable company in the fact that they are waving the installation fees for us when they install the cable in our temporary warehouse. we are just getting the NASA channel from now through kick off end of build season.

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

thats another reason why we are trying to get the webcast. I mean only four people from our team are getting a chance to go official kickoff event, and most of us don't have access to NASA channel. So webcast is the onyl and best option. As far as the quality goes, its not that good, but better than nothing.
ONLY 10 MORE DAYS TO GO!!>..........wo wow excited

Just saw this.



What I can't find anywhere is a list of remote kickoff venues.


I assume there will be a kickoff at New Hampshire, but If I was a rookie from the west coast, I'd be pretty confused on how and where to get the kickoff information. I expect that there will be something at San Jose State, but there is nothing on the WRRF pages, nothing on FIRST, nothing on NASA about where to go.

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

would anyone be interested in getting the entire kick-off on dvd?

Our school is an official kick-off location and we will be recording the kick-off on a dvr so we can burn it to dvd.

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

Heres a link to the FIRST page as to where all the local kickoffs will be held. Al i hope this helps,

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

Finally kick off is about 13 hours away.

Just thought this would be helpful to some people.

Good Luck everyone

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

ill be logging in to watch
it will be around midnight here for me in japan but i cant miss out

Re: Kickoff Event Webcast
 

I just went to that site and saw this information: If you are not able to get NASA TV at your location and you have a group of people watching a big screen of the webcast and want a better quality stream please email Seth Carter at sjcarter@mail.arc.nasa.gov for stream information. - I e-mailed him but it's so late he probably won't see my e-mail. If anyone has info that they can share with me, please PM or e-mail me. We just discovered that we cannot view the kickoff via satellite as planned since it cannot bring in the digital satellite feed and we're having to switch to webcast in a large auditorium. I'll be checking online tomorrow morning early before I leave. Thanks.
