Regionals Not Archived

There are current attempts being made to get this working and hopefully there will be more details later on...

I don't think the video capture side of it would be too difficult. Set up a Directshow video capture graph that spits the data to a file. As for the field communication part, that might be more difficult. Setting up the graph would probably an hour or two of work to research the filters you'd need.

When you get contacted by the field computer (or the user pushes a button to say that the match has started)
IMediaControl* pifController = NULL;
m_pifGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl,(void**)&pifCont roller) // gets the media control pointer from the main graph
pifController->Play(); // starts the graph running
pifController->Release(); // releases our COM reference
// yay! now the graph is playing and saving to a file!

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.
