Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

could anyone give me a link to the video archives (arizona regionals)

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

I have Recorded all the matches, but they are in AVCHD and they are about 70 gigs

Any suggestions about how to convert them in a reasonable time?

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

I have recorded a bunch of matches, but I'm having fun with conflicting video codecs on my computer and also haven't felt very good the last few days, so I haven't managed to do anything with it yet.

Sorry I don't have any recommendations for conversion software...that seems to be a magical subject which I know far too little about.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

If anybody wants to get any particular match, i can conver it with Vegas(it take a long time)

let's start with eliminations.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

You can download recorded clips of all the elimination matches from the Ustream site. The quality isn't great, but it's better that than the live stream was. Also, audio somehow got mixed in from other people's clips.

****NOTE*****
After writing this I check out Ustream and it looks like only the broadcaster can download the video. I'll download and convert them and post the clips on our team website as soon as I get a chance.


The clips must be downloaded in *.flv format, but you should be able to convert it.

Also, as is discussed in other threads, the live feed often isolates single bots and it's hard to tell what's happening around the whole field if you're not there, but maybe this will help some teams until other video becomes available.

Eventually I'll be getting up the match footage we took onto TBA and SOAP (it's the same footage that will be contained in the DVDs teams could sign up for on the sheets we handed out at the Regional), however this probably won't be for at least a week seeing as I'm in a different city than our video recorder and I don't want to receive gigabytes of video through email.

When I can get them up playoffs will be first, then qualifiers, and finally awards ceremony.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

I never saw the list. Could you add 1828 to it? Send me a message with info you'll need and what they'll cost.

Did you make last year's DVD? That was awesome. Very easy to use and it's been a fantastic publicity tool for us.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Same with 842 if no one from our team signed up for it.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Ditto for us! The DVD of the 2007 regional is great.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

They're free as usual and yes we made the ones last year (and before that, and before that...). Actually I think I have every match played in the Arizona Regional's history on DVD except for 2003 thanks to the mentor who's been recording them.

I don't know which teams returned the papers, I just know they went out during pit day and most teams returned them within that day. We had students going around to collect them as well so the odds are good we got one from your team.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Question for everyone that attended AZ: Did anyone else not talk to any judges?!

As you all know we were in our pits all day thurs until the robot showed up, and worked feverishly thursday night and friday to get everything up and running, but no judges came to talk to us. Until the very end of the day satruday i believe (some time before alliance selection). Anyone else have this problem?:confused:

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Just for clarification, we had 1 judge come to us (the entire competition), and it happened during alliance selections....

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

I believe we had a group of 3 judges come on Thursday or Friday, and that's all I saw of them...

I remember a lot more last year.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

We did have some come by on Saturday, I don't remember any on Thursday. There may or may not have been any on Friday.

Since the judges have limited time they may have chosen (for Friday at least) to only come by the pits of teams that had caught their attention as possibilities for the Friday awards.
