Once you share the link, many people can try to repair the files in parallel. Depending on what is causing the file to be corrupt there are many tools you can use. VLC can try to repair very basic corruptions.

If you have the files hosted publicly, I wouldn't mind spending some time to try and repair them.

I've started the process of uploading the videos to Dropbox. They should be able to be found here once they've finished uploading.

I'm uploading the match videos I have that weren't corrupted now.

UMD - (Q22-Q36 and Q45-Q51)

PVD - (Q20-Q49)


Corrupted files can be found in the post above.

First off, thanks for doing this. It's really helpful.

Second, do you happen to have either the elims or the awards presentation from the Dartmouth event?

Thanks

I have them, but the video files are corrupted. I've uploaded them to Dropbox to crowd source the repairs.

The link was just suspended for generating excess traffic. I've started uploading them to Mega: https://mega.co.nz/#F!UcRmhZAI!jz14ix7xpRS-UktwG_V_mw

Ty,

not sure if your still in the process of uploading, but in order to try and repair any of these, working samples from the same machine needs to be provided, so we can use the encoding as a reference.

If you haven't already, can you upload raw working video you have from PVDE.

A few mins of video should be fine.

Thanks

[Ty Tremblay]

Whoops. Forgot about that. I've uploaded the reference videos.

[Ty Tremblay]

GOOD NEWS! This command in ffmpeg got the video to play:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4

To fix the audio sync issues, I opened the file in avidemux and shifted the audio by -1500ms

I'll perform the fixes on all files tonight. Then I'll test Splitter's new ability to automagically upload to YouTube after splitting.

While waiting for NewEnglandFIRST video, we uploaded videos of SF2, SF4, SF6, F1, and F2 from UMass Dartmouth here.

I apologize for the lower resolution... sounds like Ty will have the nicer video up soon!

Also looks like the Ligerbots have the matches including their team up... QF1, QF6, SF1, SF3, and SF6. In addition to their qualification matches.

I'll be uploading match videos to www.youtube.com/NewEnglandFIRST

As of writing this post, I've uploaded Granite State and Reading match video.

NE FIRST has the recordings for Waterbury and Pioneer Valley, but they're far from me geographically and I'm working to get the videos for splitting and uploading.

Do you happen to have the videos of the finals? If so please send us the link or email the videos to frctop10@gmail.com asap please so we can review them for Top Play consideration. Thanks.

Finals of which event? Most of the video files from PVD and UMD are corrupted.

Does this auto-add the videos to a playlist for the event, as well? Because that would be super nice...

Baby steps...

[Nathan Streeter]

You've set your standards high enough that we all want the world now, Ty! :-)

Haha isn't that the truth.

Although, YouTube's API is pretty simple - the video upload functions should return the video ID, which you can then send to a single endpoint to add to a playlist.

You can even have the user input a playlist ID to use (which is how I do it) if you don't want to create one
