Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

There's a WME config file at http://soap.circuitrunners.com/2007/2007.wme

The codecs are WM 9 series... maybe 10- whatever comes with the latest player/encoder programs.

In a nutshell: 720x480 (640x480 is ok too), ~800kbps video + ~40kbps audio, deinterlace, "2007 xxxxx Regional" metadata.

There's a great tool to convert video called "SUPER". I've used it to scale down some matches to fit on my Nextel i880. If you ever run into Dan Green from WildStang ask to see the Kickoff video on his phone.


Thanks,

The NASA site says that the New York City webcast is courtesy of team 108, could someone from the sigmacats tell me if they are archiving it also, or should I record it anyway?

Finger Lakes Regional, Qualifier #34:

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

We shipped the committee a laptop specifically for archiving. If you'll be there, perhaps you can offer to help... (please!!)

Team 108: Thanks a ton for the video archives.

I found that for the Florida regional, there were quite a few missing videos.
Namely, my team 665's matches 2 and 25.
Is there anywhere with these matches?

Thanks for whatever you can do.

Team 665 -MAYHEM

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

hehe funny story. The team captured matches 1-3, but didn't realize that each time they were overwriting the previous file. The encoder option to ask before overwriting was disabled. Doh!

Sorry. If anyone from FL wants to send us a VHS of all our missing matches, I'll personally see to it they get encoded.

Thanks,

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Not to step on anyone's toes, but I'm uploading CT matches LiVE, (albeit slowly). I'll do this until Peachtree webcast URL gets announced.

Note, since I'm digitizing a webcast, I'd still expect someone later to upload higher quality from the event site.

Thanks!

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

The 2007 Great Lakes Regional has now been fully posted!

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Ok Folks _ i just finished digitizing all of the Finger Lakes Regional Matches and they are in the process of being uploaded as I type. There's 1.17 GB total. This year's FLR was the year of the underdogs it seems. But either way great show from all teams.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Just fyi ellery, some rounds aren't uploading quite properly. If you notice rounds 6 and 10 stop during or right after the introductions. I mention those two specifically because those are 2228's first matches lol.

I'm not sure what would cause that but I'm sure someone will figure it out.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

The first day or so of Arizona is digitized currently, we're double checking formats to make sure they're close to what SOAP wants since there's one person digitizing the matches and another one that will be uploading them.

Expect to see parts of Arizona come up this week.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Oh well.
Thanks anyhow.
And matches 25-26 or 7 were missing too.
Lunch break?
<Not trying to be overly sarcastic.>

But the fact that the matches are there at all is awesome!
Thanks to all who worked hard to get the website working and videos uploaded!

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Craig,

Yeah the FTP screwed up partway but they should be good now since I re-sent it. Enjoy!

Awww man!
I see that the tape ran out in the middle of finals 2.
I'll see if I can get a copy from the televised show.
Sorry.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
 

Anyone know if the Chesapeake matches will be posted online? (And the rest of the VCU ones while you're at it :D)
