Capturing Nationals Webcast

[Eric Bareiss]

Me again. Just some stats. I downloaded a few minutes of practice matches to see how it came out. It is the same quality as the webcast.

The video ends up being 1.1 meg per minute. there is 9 hours of matches friday. 9x60=540 minutes total. So were looking at about 600+ meg for friday.

Let me know if you can capture any of the divisions tomorrow. It would be nice to have two or three people on each division just in case something goes wrong with one of them.

Very impressive effort by all us non atlanta goers but soap got it covered i believe and there not gonna mess up cuz there good and i think they were gonna up load matches few seconds after they happend on there server i dunno if its the circuit runners or direct soap and it all should be done sometimes after the weekend. so patience is key

for those that are planing to record u should be aware that its is 600+ megs and thats alot of video also if they plan to split the video down by matches thats gonna be a boring time and then if u do it in rm format youll need a program that can split and and edit rm files unless u conver it "RM CONVERTER" can do that just look for it at places like download.com also if u type in search engine u can find Streambox VCR which is like Net transport i dunno which one is better both can handle asf wmv and rm files.

also the high bandwidth streams for windows media looks pretty good full screen so if u have graphics card with a s video out or a/v cable out u can stick it to a good VCR and record the matches directly to VHS which isnt bad it does save u on the hard drive load and wont be effected by your computers preformance.

Good luck to all but ima just watch id proably try but i dont have the bandwdith dial up... grrs!!

i'll get archimedes for friday and saturday

also, should i capture the WMV or RM? Either way it would be high bandwith.

I tried capturing in WMV but it didn't work so well for me so I'm doing RM. Use whichever works best for you.
