[TBA]: Comprehensive Video Archiving

[Greg Marra]

If we're going to keep talking about an automated video recording system someone should start a new thread, but a nugget: consider video recognition of the game timer bar instead of audio recognition of the start sounds. We've got a prototype LabView VI that Danny Bathgate developed in the works that split up the championship matches we have so far with this technique.

Heh. I actually thought of doing that a bit of time ago, though couldn't get anywhere on it due to lack of ability to play with LabView.

I think it'd be easier to do that than the sounds as its a bit more reliable/easier than listening for sounds already muffled with music and a game announcer. How well did it work?

Hey Greg,

Can you share this VI so I can give it a try on the Boston and CT matches?

Thanks!

Personally, the approach that I would try to take first is to bring in a dedicated machine and take the split input and encode it directly to 1.5 TB hard drive of mine. That way there is no need for many tapes or usb drives. Then worry about uploading later when a network connection is available.
