SOAP Video Encoding Errors

[ham90mack]

The videos haven't been reuploaded yet, so many are still corrupt. Since you are using Mac instad of Windows, it probably interprets the video differently and pauses the video instead of making it blocky.

Awesome, thanks for repsonse. I'll wait for the reupload. THANKS to everyone for their hard work on this!

I just arrived home and I have all of the laptops used for encoding with me. All of Curie and the first 30 matches of Archimedes were reuploaded while we were at the dome. I will begin to work on the remainder of the videos tonight. They should be done by tomorrow early morning.

We had some issues with Einstein yesterday and I may need to do some chopping up of the master video we recorded alongside of the one used for divided encoding which may take some time. This may not be completed by tomorrow morning.

Thanks to everyone for your support!

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but part of the way through arc_qf4m1.wmv and arc_qf4m2.wmv windows media stops and doesnt let me veiw the rest. Something about an encoding error.

I'm not complaining at you, I just want to watch the matchs I missed, you guys at SOAP are great for putting these up.

Please read post number five and be a bit patient. I may not be part of 108, but I know it takes a while for an entire (or even partial) overhaul of anything that has to do with video.

I saw that, I just wanted him to know that those are bad, I don't know if the whole section is or not, but I looks like these were just uploaded.

Out of curiosity, did SOAP record DaVinci?

(I can't wait to see the Einstein videos--I most certainly <3 SOAP.)

Did the .wme file used to encode the events change between the season and nationals? I had almost no problem with any of the videos from any of the events during the season, but it seems that a bit less than half of the ones from Atlanta are corrupt in the middle. I'm curious as to why on a technical level. The hardware was likely the same, so it must be a configuration problem with the recording. Does anyone from SOAP have any speculations on why?

Just checking, but you have read this thread and checked up on SOAP recently, right? If not, look at the original post by Mat Keller above and check out the new videos on SOAP. Yes, it seems that most of them have been reuploaded. Only Matt can tell you how much is left to upload.

Yes. I just downloaded the Newton videos fresh, and half the elims will not transcode. They seem to play ok in other video players, but these are the first videos I am having trouble converting.

Sorry to keep you guys in the dark... I'm still uploading movies. I am on a 6Mbps connection w/ 0.4Mbps upload, but the upload speed to the circuitrunners server is about 60kbs even while multithreading. So overwriting the corrupt files is taking FOREVER. If all goes well they should be all fixed by the morning. I will give a status update when I get home from school tomorrow.

[Matt Keller]

I think everything has been uploaded a second time. If there are any more errors, I will see to them right away... just let me know which videos are still rotten.

Hey... Thanks sooo much for posting the video!! While I was looking through the video listing, I found that you have not updated galileo... our team did really well in match # 18 and it is corrupted... sorry, i'm not trying to whine about it, but it would be nice if you could reload that match, PLEASE! you totally rock!!! thanks sooo much!

Is the WFA in one of the files? I think it might be the opening ceremonies, but the whole file hasn't been loaded.

Thanks Matt!

First off, let me say you guys do an awesome job at posting all the matches. This is a huge task and I’m sure the FIRST community is appreciative of all your work!

We are trying to get footage of the semifinal match on Einstein. We think it is your file “cmp-sf2m1.wmv”. Unfortunately this file shows Woody giving an award. Should we be looking somewhere else for the match footage?

Thanks!
