I found this video capture card: http://www.pacificgeek.com/product.a...5&ID=36239&P=F.

It seems almost to good to be true, and its already on back order.

Looks like every first week regional is covered!!! I'll be sending everyone a PM with instructions on how to upload their recorded video to The Blue Alliance and SOAP.

2175 will definitely be recording MN, you can mark us down.

Yea it is but we don't have access to their recordings for sites like The Blue Alliance and SOAP, so Steve Warren and I recorded it ourselves last year. Hopefully i'll be able to come down for Friday and Saturday and record it myself, but i am not sure yet.

[StevenB]

I'll do the OKC Regional. Hopefully we'll have a webcast, too.

[pentau]

I'm looking into doing Chesapeake (don't put me down yet though) and if so, we will be probably trying a webcast.

[synth3tk]

In addition to gathering the mass amounts of raw video, team 964 will be providing a live webcast via SOAP 108's Gameday for Buckeye.

I've been transcoding all day. My processor has literally been at 100% non-stop since this morning. I'm about to have all of the Midwest Regional on TBA, and New Jersey will finish up overnight. BAE ought to be up soon as well.

Greg are you cutting up Kyle's raw footage from BAE??? I'm willing to help out a bit if you are.

I haven't had time to even look at them yet. If you want to start a thread in the TBA forum to coordinate this, that would be awesome. It looks like slicing it into WMVs is the best plan right now, as I think we've just made a big fix that makes WMV transcoding an order of magnitude faster.

[synth3tk]

So you are going with WMV? Just so that the rest of the editors can know what to use.

At this point, it would seem that WMVs work fine, but I still think AVI is a much more portable format.

I have a mac...do you think iMovie would be capable enough to do the recording (import from capture box as DV and then export as .h264)? Or are there any specialized programs?

Thanks, I'll be recording at Chesapeake (assuming it works and is allowed).

iMovie would be able to do this, assuming you have a big enough hd for the footage.
