Re: Minnesota regional!
 

Bit of a bump but I know a lot of people were looking for 10,000 Lakes videos. I finally found the NASA archive last night, so I'll be downloading and parsing the matches so we can finally have video on TBA. It'll be about Atlanta quality, but something's better than nothing.

There's so far a lot of audio sync problems, so it'll take me a really long time to get it all exported into tons of individual files, but it's worth it. ^_^

Yay Chris!!!! I can't wait to see some of those final matches!!! *waits in anticipation and asks if there is any way he can help*

Re: Minnesota regional!
 

Well, right now what I have to do is take the .mp4 files, import them into iMovie, cut and edit, then re-export as an mp4 file. This makes the already bad video a little worse. Is there some way I can just cut the ends off of a video file so I don't have to export a shorter version and further degrade it? A free or cheap Mac tool would be ideal, but I could move to a Windows machine if need be.

So basically, that's what you can do to help right now ^_^

Re: Minnesota regional!
 

I found a tool that lets me trim a video file and save, but it doesn't let me adjust the desynced audio. I'll try AVIDemux and see if it willl allow me to adjust audio while trimming, while still keeping the video file in the native format so it doesn't lose quality through editing. It's not a big drop in quality, but when it starts out as bad as it is you can notice it.

I'll put up the finals on YouTube tonight, then when I have some more done I'll start sending them to TBA.

Edit: Unfortunately, AVIdemux doesn't play sound for me. I'll just use iMovie.
