Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
DV at 720x480 (SD) is typically 1 gb for every 10 minutes. It is a very large lossless format that is mainly used in digital video editing. Is there any other codec you could use?

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I've created a page on FIRSTwiki to store all of the information about archiving and webcasting in one place. I've tried to fill in what I could, but that's not much.
![]() If those of you with experience could add to it, that would be very helpful to all of us who are doing this for the first time. |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
We used a Panasonic DVR (it has a hard drive and a DVD burner) to record the St. Louis Regional. It had 19 hours of hard drive space available. It was recorded in SP mode and after it was split on the recorder, it took 6+ DVD's to copy the data to, which was then reformatted on the pc and trimmed up before uploading.
I'm not sure if that helps or not.. |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Thanks for the information. Does anyone know a better way to record on a mac? Are there any programs that just can record video feeds from a firewire input? Or can you just change the import format in iMovie? (The computers we will be recording with aren't with me right now) Thanks!

What I use is a cheap DVD recorder from Panasonic. Its great, and I don't have to worry about anyone steeling an expensive laptop. A PVR would be a better solution, because you wouldn't have to worry about the switching the DVDs. If you are looking for a good input device for your laptop you can check out El Gato's Hybrid or the 250 +. Both can encode a lot of video without using a lot of disk space. |

), transcode it to DivX (1 hour is usually between 800 MB and 1.5 GB, depending on original quality and randomness of video), and delete the original video. You could probably transcode to mp4 instead if you wanted too, just as long as the quality stays near the same. This method especially helps when needing to capture 15+ tapes for a video project . |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
We're willing to help record the Peachtree (week 3) and Palmetto (5) regionals, however we're not sure we have the right equipment. We have a member with a RCA cable that he says can plug in to his computer, but is not sure that is the easiest way. Could we use a DVD player or VCR?

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I talked to the crew from 230 who are webcasting the Connecticut Regional. They intend to archive all of the matches to DVD for conversion / parsing later on.

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I recorded all of Chesapeake on Friday in the h.264 format. I plan to do the same tomorrow--I'm just not sure how long it will take me to edit it (cutting out the time between matches and scores, etc) I think some other teams also recorded it? Could we work together?

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
I just purchased a Pinnacle Video Transfer which records in H.264 directly to an external hard drive (no computer needed).
I will be testing it out at the Los Angeles Regional. |

Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
Someone was using one of these at Boilermaker this weekend and it seemed to work well and very easy to setup. I was interested, but I dont like the external harddrive thing... although you can swap drives (he used a usb flash drive) and download to a computer.
