Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

What I'm pushing for is to get everything uploaded to SOAP, and for the other outlets to then get their footage from that one, central, location (SOAP). I really don't want to abandon the idea of having everything on SOAP. With a Mozilla plug-in (Download Them all) its really not that hard to get the footage from SOAP's site, once its up.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

For SOAP, ok. I was referring to other things.

I don't begrudge anyone hosting their own video! I'm just talking about using resources.

Right. I was up in the Sam Adams booth on Saturday talking to Dean about the benefits/problems of integrating FIRST with YouTube. For instance, most high schools block YouTube. And if you want to catch people with a viral meme, than how do you take 6 weeks of FIRST and construct something that will compel the viewer to up and drive to comp in a video that must be less than a minute or two? I'm working on figuring that out but darn if it isn't difficult.

Again--did BAE give you guys the clearance to disseminate that? I'm getting my tape but I need to know this.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Forgive my ignorance, but what are you supposed to do with that code file? I can't figure out what to do with it in WME9. Aside from the couple of options pointed out above, does that take care of everything else, such as naming conventions and all that jazz? If not, thats fine, since I planned on doing it all 2 minutes at a time anyways....so anything above that is gravy. Fortunately, it looks like my Dazzle capture device will work just fine to get those nice 740x480 .wmv files.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

It's a settings file. Double-click and it should launch WME9. There's some settings we prefer like the key-frames, the metadata, the bitrate for audio and video.... It does not take care of naming convention. That is manual. We've tried writting a tool to auto-name but it gets too complicated. Human control is just easier.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Regarding YouTube-

Yes, the current SOAP site lacks a search tool. If there's someone out there in the FIRST Community that would be willing to author a php / mysql website to do this, we'll gladly host it on the circuitrunner site.

I use Auto index on my teams website for past and present video. Auto index has a built in search and very small coding.

Ah, yeah...now I feel silly. I was just opening it online and getting lines of code and thinking....er....???:ahh:

Now I understand!

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

If I can orginize some cams, I'll try to capture some matches(probablly it will only be our team's matches, but we'll try to film others).

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Well the FLR is over but it may take me some time to digitize 6 video tapes worth of FLR. Also depends on hor you sort the activities into: Opening Ceremony, Matches, Closing Ceremony. I'll see after I get all the stuff from Ed on Monday night.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Say, does anyone have a video of Dean's robotic arm?

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Anyone have a ETA on the rest of week 1? week 2?

Thanks,

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

The PNW matches have been parsed; they now just need to be compressed and named according to convention. It may be a while still, though, because I have to worry about finishing some work up first and then we're away for the Silicon Valley Regional. We'll also be recording that event.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

The matches from the Great Lakes Regional were all successfully recorded by one of team 1503's members; however, I couldn't say how long it'll be before they are uploaded.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Eliminations, award intro, and chairman's award are up for Wisconsin. The rest will be rolling in steadily until Wednesday, then I'm off to Purdue. Will hopefully finish up the rest before I head out to Cleveland the following week.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

*too lazy to read all 10 pages for something i'm not sure is there*

Does anybody know if the Pacific Northwest Regional was recorded or if we will eventually be able to view it somwhere? So far, i've only been able to find a single match on Youtube.

So here are my questions:
1. Does anybody know if it was recorded?
2. If so, where can I find the footage?
3. If not, are there any plans to tape it next year?
4. If there are no plans to tape it next year, how can I?

5. Is the Davis Sacramento Regional going to be recorded?
6. If not, how can I make it so?

Could somebody please PM me with the answers to some/all of these questions? Thank You.
