Thanks for your help

we use a usb video capture device with s-video or composite input (< $40) and windows media encoder (free). we can give you our settings file for wme (which isnt all that complicated).

Out of curiosity, where are you pulling the video from to put it into the video capture card? From one of your own cameras? Or from the big-screen video feed at the regional?

They're pulled from the big screen feed.

Exactly. At every event there is a "break-out" box with A/V outputs. Any team can hook up their vcr/whatever.

Nasa had additionally setup "goal cams" in florida, and sent us one of those feeds. We brought a video switcher box with us so we could switch video inputs at any time.
