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.

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.

The following "cmp_sf2m1.wmv" is still not working.

Thanks!

How can someone get the Vex archives? I would be willing to post them myself if needed. I just need some way to get them.

The Chairmans Award video - cmp_ endawards.wmv - also stops in the middle, half way through Wildstang's video.

opening ceremonies appears corrupt for me, it will play a few seconds and about 40 seconds of audio then quit.

here is the link....

i noticed the file name changed and downloaded it again with the exact same result.

Award 08 seems to be corrupted....the Delphi Driving Tomorrow's Technology award.
