Based on what you said we could "TiVo" it, right? Maybe instead of people with VCR's we could TiVo it and it would be a little easier?

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..

We will be recording all of VCU. We plan on having 2 cameras running so we can have an overview of the match and closeups of certain parts. We will have it all posted shortly after the regional.

Pavan.
I don't believe you can take in a A/V feed (ie. Anything thats NOT Coax) with a Tivo. Plus, they put DRM on top of anything recorded.

Theres a few things I would do:
1) Record to mini DV tapes. It would take a bunch, but it would be pretty easy. Just plug your mini DV camcorder into the feed and hit record. You can rip and parse the videos later.
2) Use a miniDV cam as a pass through, and use the firewire connection to get the video feed directly into your computer. This will take up alot of hard drive space, so be weary.
3) Use a capture card (preferably one with MPEG2 hardware support, like the Hauppuage cards..) and record straight data to the hard drive. If one really feels adventerous they can do the parsing real time.

Now I believe if you have a good enough computer, you can open a DV stream (very big, like 25 mb/s) and do real time encoding with VLC or somethign similar. I think this is how SOAP does their webcasts. Then, you could save the smaller sized feed to your hard drive.

TiVos can record directly from an A/V input, though it's a little tricky to configure. They do not add DRM to their recordings.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..

Reminder: I recomend that everyone who is planning on recording a regional to contact the regional director (or someone running the regional) so that they know you need a hook-up from FIRST. I'm sure it makes the A/V guys job alot easier when they know that you are coming and can prepare a connection for you.

Every event I've been to since at least 1997 has had a table set up with lots of A/V feeds for the specific purpose of teams hooking up VCRs or whatever. I'm quite certain this is standard practice at all events.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..

Here is what I am planning for Wisconsin:

Recording to 4-5 VHS tapes
After event, hooking up to my Dazzle Capture device and doing real time parsing (can I have the week off of work!?!?), saving files as mpeg-2 in low quality (320x240) - 25mb ish per match.
Putting all parsed video onto a DVD and sending it to SOAP....WHERE? Can someone from SOAP PM me with an address? I don't mind sending it overnight to get it there to it can be up ASAP.

If my laptop isn't needed at the competition, I may directly capture with the Dazzle, and then figure out how to parse later.

Either way, Its either going to be done within a week, or not until after all the regionals are done (going to WI, IN, OH, and WM). My guess is people want these BEFORE Atlanta

Technology has advanced and, if at all possible, please try to acquire this device which handles 720x480. - http://soap.circuitrunners.com/2006/O38-1022inset.jpg

The baseline encoder config file for Windows Media Encoder is there also - http://soap.circuitrunners.com/2006/2006.wme

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..

I'm planning on recording LA & San Diego (for my own sake). If someone wants to organize something more, I'm happy to share my recordings. Just let me know who/what/where/when/how.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..

It's very likely that Team 578 is going to record and parse the phili regional because there is a strong interest in doing it. On monday I can tell you the final decision.

Re: Coordinated Regional Video Archiving..

If your still interested, we in the process of acquiring more laptops for video encoding. This year we mailed out some laptops and video capture devices to some teams to encode the videos for us (SOAP). It was a good experience for all those involved. Encoding the individual matches in real-time is much better than watching a VHS tape and doing it that way.

It is our goal to webcast and archive ALL regionals next year. If you are interested in helping let me know. You can stop by the SOAP area in Atlanta if you like.

Good luck at the Championship!!!
