Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
Ok so I have tried to do some planing for this. Right now i am thinking of using the recomended solution from the SOAP people, this recorder , into an old laptop that has an 80GB hard drive in it, with about 50GB free. It looks like I will need to use an external drive with it. I was wondering from the community out there what resolution/format/bitrate I should record at, and how big of an HD will i need to record a 2 day event??? the parsing is not an issue.. but will take some time. Then how would I get all this on to the SOAP archive. I also plan on hosting it on my team's website, and one of google video or youtube.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
You may not necessarily need the external drive, unless you want it for backup. Just adding up the size of videos from the 2006 regionals, each regional contains about 2-2.5 GB of video, including awards and some extra stuff.
I'm not exactly sure at the moment how the uploading works, but I can find out tomorrow and get back to you. |

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
I know for Arizona that one of our mentors will be recording the matches himself, as we sometimes don't like the view the camera give us (such as zooming in on a robot picking balls up from the ground when the other 5 are over fighting in front of the goal). I think I'll end up recording the actual big screen feed by VCR, but I'm not certain yet.

I may also be able to record the Silicon Valley Regional; I don't know yet if I'm going to that one or not. --AJ |

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
Regarding the video hosting --
Have you secured who will do this yet? Besides being a mentor & on Pittsburgh's planning committee, I also do business development for a user-generated content video sharing company (http://www.bocoo.com/) I don't know if Bocoo would be interested in FIRST, but bandwidth and server space isn't an issue. Maybe take a look and let me know. Bill |

We, SOAP, will most definately host ALL videos we can get our hands on. I have been tediously working on this year's site for several months now, and I think its safe to say you will all be quite satisfied. As for video delivery, there will be our own flv player on the site to stream match videos. In addition, original filetype downloads will be available. If need be, different resolutions and/or filetypes will be generated to make your downloading experience as painless as possible. Tomorrow we will try to come to a consensus on official uploading methods and develop some sort of guidelines to reduce post-processing time on our end, and make this operation run smoothly. I shall report back asap.
I'm not on CD regularly, so if anyone needs to talk to me about anything SOAP related, feel free to IM me at ANY time. (aim: substr108) As a side note, it has come to the attention of our team that SOAP is commonly identified as our own team, SOAP 108. It is in fact apart of SigmaC@T 108. SOAP is an acronym for SigmaC@T Opponent Analysis Program. Just something I needed to clarify. ![]() Last edited by Matt Keller : 10-02-2007 at 01:30. |

Like Matt commented, we will gladly host it. I will ask our host to create an ftp account specifically for uploading movies. Upload as soon as possible- LiVE at the event is preferred, or the Sunday/Monday after is acceptable too. Worse case, snail-mail a dvd or hand one to us at the Championship. We'll be behind Einstein.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
For consistency and predictability sake, we have a preference in naming the movie files.
General Naming Rules * Two or three character event abbreviation in lowercase, e.g. "fl" * Underscore, "_" * XOR: Qualification: Use THREE digits, "001", "047", "108". Elimination: Use "qf4m2", "sf2m1", "fm3" Awards: Use "award_" + AwardDescription. Opening: Use "openingremarks_" + "friday" or "saturday". Closing: Use "closingremarks_" + "friday" or "saturday". Else: any string that does not begin with "qf", "sf", "fm", or a digit. * ".wmv" (or whatever format extention you encoded, hopefully windows media) Notes: # Always use lowercase, please. # No spaces in a filename, please. # Sometimes a match gets replayed- name the one that counts in the standings as "fl_001.wmv". The one(s) that do NOT count, "fl_001bad1.wmv", "fl_001bad2.wmv", etc... Abbreviations are as follows: BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional NH NASA / VCU Regional VA New Jersey Regional NJ Pacific Northwest Regional OR St. Louis Regional MO Arizona Regional AZ Bayou Regional LA Brazilian Pilot BR Finger Lakes Regional ROC Florida Regional FL Great Lakes Regional GL Los Angeles Regional CA Pittsburgh Regional PIT Wisconsin Regional WI Boilermaker Regional IN Chesapeake Regional MD Detroit Regional DT Greater Kansas City Regional KC Midwest Regional IL Peachtree Regional GA Silicon Valley Regional SJ UTC Connecticut Regional CT New York City Regional NY Boston Regional MA Buckeye Regional OH San Diego Regional SDC Waterloo Regional WAT GM/Technion Israel Regional IS Colorado Regional CO Greater Toronto Regional ON Las Vegas Regional NV Lone Star Regional TX Palmetto Regional SC Philadelphia Regional PA Sacramento Regional SAC SBPLI Long Island Regional LI West Michigan Regional MI Many thanks, KA-108 ![]() Last edited by soap108 : 12-02-2007 at 16:14. |

We'd certainly host the large files, but prefer not to do any parsing ourself. Please use available media tools to extract just the match. KA |

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
Ok, The first week of regionals are right around the corner. We have almost all five regionals covered. If we get someone to volunteer to record St. Louis, then we will have complete coverage.
BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional - J. Norris NASA / VCU Regional - Rob2713g New Jersey Regional - Alex Burman Pacific Northwest Regional - M. Krass St. Louis Regional - ?? J. Norris, Rob2713g, Alex Burman, and M. Krass, I sent you a PM. Is there a volunteer for St. Louis? Its great that there are a number of people volunteering to get the raw data, but the problem now is that not many people have volunteered to parse the video into individual matches. I'm not really sure what to do about this. Suggestions? |

I'm going to St. Louis to watch. I'll see if I can get it recorded.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..
I can probably get the matches for AZ parsed, but I'd probably take a while to do it.
