Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008

To setup a digital recording setup, the what you need from our site is our software. Download Page We have a 21 day trial so you can use our software at the competitions during that trial period. Our software will work with most consumer TV capture cards. My recommendation for a capture cards is the Hauppauge HVR-1600, ~$90. Search google for "HVR-1600". It is a hardware MPEG encoding card. It is available from Amazon, Newegg and some other brick and mortar retailers like Best Buy and Frys.

With those two pieces you need a Windows PC and some hard drive space. With this rig, you will be able to record the competitions digitally then clip them with some third party software. I recommend either VideoReDo or Womble. These programs work best for clipping video generated by caputre cards.

If someone with programming experience is down for the challenge. I would like to see what we could put together using our software's SDK and the field controls. Again I don't have much time to spend working on this, but would be willing to help however as I can, anyone willing to try to do some automation with the field.
