Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

I can't view the movies either. I get the following message when I try to view the movies (I'm using Safari): The requested URL /2007/movies/or/or_001.wmv was not found on this server.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, guys. We'll regroup and try to figure out exactly what it is that we broke. :)

All of the Silicon Valley Regional matches on SOAP also yield 404's.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Yeah, we're aware of that, too. I guess we'll have to check with the nice folks of SOAP and figure out what we did wrong.

We're still looking for Buckeye Day 2 Videos - anybody else got them?

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Getting copies from both 48 and 1038.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

All matches from Arizona are finished, a few awards and ceremonies still have to get up but that's it.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

SJ and OR have issues. Not sure why... The file permissions are ok.
Plenty of disc space left.. Please try to re-upload.

When I download via ftp, they play ok... hmm...

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

We uploaded the last part of SVR matches this morning and they do not work, either, so I don't know if uploading the rest again will make any difference. Perhaps we'll have better luck if we try uploading from outside Microsoft, but we won't know until someone can get the drive from our lab and try it elsewhere.

Is the FTP access set up so that we don't have permission to download from your server? I tried to download the videos via FTP and couldn't do so.

Edited to add: I can download others via FTP, so there's something afoot with our videos or those directories. You were able to download them, however, so I wonder what it is that's making them unavailable to everyone else.

Thanks,

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

I downloaded via FTP some of the matches, deleted match one then reuploaded it and its still not working right.

EDIT: For temporary sake if you put an additional or/ once you reach the or directory I put the videos there, so one could download from that spot.

I have a batch script that will use FFMPEG to reencode any non-WMV video to well compressed xVids. When I get back to my external hard drive later, I will post a link and instructions so anyone who needs to convert raw footage and can't get WME to work can use it.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Whew, now that regionals are finished with, and I can return to a somewhat normal life, the remaining awards videos from Milwaukee should be posted in the next few days...but Thursday at the VERY latest!

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

It turns out that we recorded most of Palmetto via VCR (I think we are missing some of the eliminations, and possibly a couple of matches when we switched tapes) I'll see if I can find a way to digitize it and such, but it probably won't be done by Atlanta (sorry), however, we should be able to get it on SOAP at some point.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Fastest way to get VCR tapes transferred is to get a TV USB stick. They run around $90 at Best Buy.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

There are cheaper solutions if you look around a bit. The USB converter SOAP uses runs closer to $50. Also, a MiniDV Camcorder can be used in "VCR" mode to capture in external video instead of just playing back what it contains. So if you have a camera lying around, don't go spend more money.
