Regionals Not Archived

I'd prefer a continuous recording solution, but that requires at least a dual-core and a good amount of RAM if you want to include splitting.

The best options, to me, are splitting based on sound (think: Voice recognition with two words, split 5-10 seconds before the start word, and after the end word. I doubt the computer really cares if the sound is an english word or not unless it is in dictation mode. Knowledge of the Microsoft Speech API required), or split based on user input (I'd want the computer to take a range to split in, and let me go back and find the exact frame to split before or after it finishes recording).

My only problems stemmed from user error, and the fact that it somehow got turned off early. I'm attributing both to human error, probably all mine.
I guess my vote is that computers are inconsistently inconsistent.

I think it would be easier to split by looking at the frames, similar to how MythTV does commercial flagging. The ball randomizer screen is the start flag, the Final Score screen is the end flag. Or it could just look for the Realtime scoring bar on the bottom of the screen and flag all that content (which would include final scores.

About Chesapeake:
I was able to record it using QuickTime Broadcaster (h.264) (pretty poor audio / no audio some days) and am currently working on parsing it. It is pretty slow going because I've got lots of work at school. It should be finished a few weeks after the Championship.

I think FIRST just handed everyone the solution because I remember hearing yesterday that the fancy new controller can do image recognition.

Robots recording Robots?

The Finger Lakes FRC regional is still under the process of being archived, Elim. Matches and Saturdays Awards should be up at least by the end of May.

The first 20 Matches from westmichigan are currently uploading to firstvideoarchive right now (I will upload to soap unless soap's ftp info changed). I have had to work at work more and longer hours lately than expected. Most of the video splitting has been happening at 11pm each night for a while and each takes 15 minutes or so.

SOAP's FTP is the same for now, you may want to contact someone from SOAP to let them know you are putting it up there though because of the server transition that is going on.

Also, if you would like any help with the parsing, feel free to upload a chunk of the video somewhere and PM me. I have pretty good speeds in both directions here at the University and I usually have a bit of free time.

If anyone else has video that they want help parsing feel free to PM me.

I will rip the other DVDs and put onto the server for you tomorrow evening.
