Thanks, everyone. I realize now that I am probably not going to get the full quality video, but here is some more info on what I was looking for:
Full quality means 30 fps, 720 x 480 (camcorder) preferably, or ~525 x ~350 (VHS, TV), not much compression (MPEG variants OK if at a higher bitrate)
I had a friend (and an organizer of the Boilermaker Regional) that had a Composite USB capture device and external Hard Drive. He recorded all the qualifying matches, finals, and awards. It ended up being 80GB
! Fortunately, I borrowed his external HD and copied the videos. They had MPEG2 compression at ~1000KB/s and were 720 x 480, 30 fps. The only problem was that the audio ended up clipping all the time when the announcer was speaking. The video was great though.
Basically, I was looking for video that was DVD quality, not web video quality (320 x 240).
I know, though, that there were teams that were swapping DVD's and video tapes like every hour or two down at the recording station. The video recorded by the teams with the DVD players would be great, as long as they didn't edit out all the extra matches. If so, why would they go through the hassle of changing DVD's or video tapes, just hit record before their match!
Anyway, if you have anymore insight that would be great, if not, thanks anyway.
