Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
So you are going with WMV? Just so that the rest of the editors can know what to use.

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I have a mac...do you think iMovie would be capable enough to do the recording (import from capture box as DV and then export as .h264)? Or are there any specialized programs?
Thanks, I'll be recording at Chesapeake (assuming it works and is allowed). |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I've created a page on FIRSTwiki to store all of the information about archiving and webcasting in one place. I've tried to fill in what I could, but that's not much. :)
If those of you with experience could add to it, that would be very helpful to all of us who are doing this for the first time. |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
We used a Panasonic DVR (it has a hard drive and a DVD burner) to record the St. Louis Regional. It had 19 hours of hard drive space available. It was recorded in SP mode and after it was split on the recorder, it took 6+ DVD's to copy the data to, which was then reformatted on the pc and trimmed up before uploading.
I'm not sure if that helps or not.. |

What I use is a cheap DVD recorder from Panasonic. Its great, and I don't have to worry about anyone steeling an expensive laptop. A PVR would be a better solution, because you wouldn't have to worry about the switching the DVDs. If you are looking for a good input device for your laptop you can check out El Gato's Hybrid or the 250 +. Both can encode a lot of video without using a lot of disk space. |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
We're willing to help record the Peachtree (week 3) and Palmetto (5) regionals, however we're not sure we have the right equipment. We have a member with a RCA cable that he says can plug in to his computer, but is not sure that is the easiest way. Could we use a DVD player or VCR?
|
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I talked to the crew from 230 who are webcasting the Connecticut Regional. They intend to archive all of the matches to DVD for conversion / parsing later on.
|
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I recorded all of Chesapeake on Friday in the h.264 format. I plan to do the same tomorrow--I'm just not sure how long it will take me to edit it (cutting out the time between matches and scores, etc) I think some other teams also recorded it? Could we work together?
|
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I just purchased a Pinnacle Video Transfer which records in H.264 directly to an external hard drive (no computer needed).
I will be testing it out at the Los Angeles Regional. |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Someone was using one of these at Boilermaker this weekend and it seemed to work well and very easy to setup. I was interested, but I dont like the external harddrive thing... although you can swap drives (he used a usb flash drive) and download to a computer.
-Mike |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
That device looks extremely promising, because it will record in 640x480 at a high bitrate that we can cut down later. Frankly, after the (no offense to whoever did it) abysmal audio and video quality of the Florida matches, I am excited to see things like this.
|
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I'm a little confused about parsing Quicktime files recorded in the h.264 format. I have been told that it is possible to do that without having to re-encode the video (a quite lengthy process...). Does anyone know how to do this? What do you use to create the individual video files?
|
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008

I ran some tests yesterday and it was able to save a parsed H.264 file almost instantly, and it only took a few seconds to join 2 files. |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Code:
Regional VolunteerNext week looks like we have every regional covered but Oklahoma City Regional, so if there is anyone out there going to Oklahoma and is willing to record the video please do so. We are still looking for a couple people to record week 5 regionals, if you would like to (or are allready planning on) recording one of those regionals please speak up! We are doing a great job so far, but we need to see more of that rocorded video up on the TBA and SOAP servers fully parsed, so get that raw footage somewhere we can use it and if you are willing to parse any video please check out The Blue Alliance forums. |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Hi!
Johnathan - Were you able to find Finals of VCU on the SOAP server? Thanks, |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I just got high-speed (7MBps) internet up today, and Linux running, so I should be able to start parsing videos after our regional.
|
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Yep, 1261 was able to record Peachtree (week 3) digitally. Tanner's the one who actually recorded it, not me :P Unfortunately, Saturday has no audio...
We also saw 343 recording with good old VHS tapes. Need to drop them a note and ask if they got audio Saturday... We are also planning on recording Palmetto (week 5), as far as I know, but that's not definite yet (since we have a reduced showing and all that). |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I'm having some problems with poor sound quality on the video I recorded at Chesapeake. The audio is low-ish and there is a loud buzzing in the background (some research shows that that usually indicates that the mult-box wasn't grounded).
Any ideas? Should I try to salvage the audio (ie, remove the buzzing noise)? Or just split everything up without doing anything to the audio? |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Guys, there's a big chance that we might be able to archive the Israel Regional (might be available thanks to Or Makbiliy from FLL team 33 from Herzliya, Israel).
Tommorow me and him are gonna' test the webcasting over there and if everything is fine, we should have all matches recoreded and uploaded up to an hour after they happen (maybe even less) |
Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
If everyone can handle video that had to go through WMV through first-time recording error, someone e-mail me with upload instructions, and I can start uploading tomorrow once I get all the clips out of WMM2. I didn't bother including penalty readings or match results, but I have the videos of those (mixed up with introductions of each team for the following match-- didn't want to take forever watching vids in real-time for clipping). If anyone minds where I cut, speak now, and wait a few weeks.
I effectively don't have the first day of qualifications, accidentally recorded with the volume too high, so it'll sound horrible no matter what I do. If you guys still want it, I might be able to trim those up next saturday, but I have yet to cut up the elimination matches. I don't have the awards, and I'm skipping Opening Ceremonies/Awards unless there is a *really* high demand for those. EDIT: Oh, look... I just found a way to get the original out of Indeo codec without using WMM2... ok, that set everything back a while. If you still want the WMV-corrupted versions, fine, but otherwise, I'm holding off. |

I can record the Great Lakes Regional and possibly webcast it as well.
I'll try not to screw up the audio. <(^^,)> |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
For the sake of documentation:
I've been recording match videos for the regionals 1126 has attended (Finger Lakes and Buckeye). My setup was a Sony Handycam with DV (Firewire) out, hooked up to my HP DV9000 running XP, and recording straight to an external hard drive (500GB). I used WinDV to capture the raw DV out of the camera, and pieced together the matches (Matchnn)+scores (Matchnn_score) together with VirtualDub set to "Direct Stream Copy" (Matchnn_final). The total raw DV footage (qual+elim rounds), was a bit over 50 gigs (doubled, actually, because I was joining the match and score segments together as a separate file on-the-spot). I encoded the match videos with Avidemux using x264 (two-pass, target bitrate 600kb/sec, interlaced (because the source is), TRO changed from 0 to 1, max consecutive B-frames chagned from 2 to 4)+faac (56KHz), using AVI as a container. The resulting files were usually between 13 and 14MB. (As a side note on using avidemux (2.4.1 - r3791) under Windows, it was a bit unstable, I set up a batch job to take care of the conversion, and it would choke after 5-15 files. It does at least pick up from where it left off relatively well on the next start - I just had to clear the job list of the files that it'd worked through since the last crash and have it run through the remainder.) |

I know there was somebody who recorded Chesapeake (pentau or someone) but it still isn't up anywhere. Just wondering when that will be up on either TBA or wherever. Thanks.

Will somebody be finishing the VCU regional video archiving? It sounded like the video recorded of the event was complete, not fragmented. I have asked twice recently in the TBA VCU thread and nobody has said anything yet...

Hi!
I still have all the footage from the VCU Regional. I remember that I have already uploaded all of it to the blue alliance and SOAP servers. However, I'm not sure if they are all still up there. If needed, I can upload those files again. Thanks |

My husband and I provided the webcast for Hawaii & have pretty much the entire event in archive. This is the first weekend we've had that we can work on editing the files down. Hopefully we'll have some matches available by Sunday for upload.

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
This thread is a little dated, yes, I know, but I still have a question...
Does anyone have a recording of the Buckeye 2008 regional? Preferably one of the main view screen feed? If you do, I'd love to have a copy. Also, when I have spare time I can split it up into matches and upload it (provided somebody can tell me where I can find the software to split the matches up) if nobody else wants to. I really hope someone responds! Personally, I've wanted to watch our robot at the cleveland regional since we went there... when you drive you can't really tell what's going on in the matches... :o Thanks, -q |

Buckeye was rough territory. I was asking frantically if somebody had a recording that they could send me. We couldn't get our recording system together in time.
