Cornell games VHS to DVD

[Bahnstorm]

Good time to remind everyone that in the University archives I have slowly been building our athletic media holdings for all sports. The long term goal is to have a huge online gallery. Hockey unfortunatly has been pretty slim despite my digging:

While pretty measly compared to the 1000s of films from the football team, http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/ead/htmldocs/RMA02205.html or even the lacrosse team collection, http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/ead/htmldocs/RMA03096.html it is a start.

You can also find Cornell games on film or audio at our oppoents' archives, even some unlikely ones like Penn, scroll to the bottom to find the hockey listings: http://www.letsgoquakers.com

I'd very gladly add copies of anyone's digitized footage to the archives for preservation.

I also have the 92, 96, 02, and 03 ECACs on tapes if an alternate copy is needed, not sure how degraded mine are.

While I may have known this at some point, part of me is very satisfied that we were the ones to send Penn out of D-I hockey with a Cornell win.

I like how on Penn's website there are multiple pages for basketball and football, but then baseball, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, wrestling, sprint football, volleyball, and the Penn Relays all share one page. How hard would it have been to make separate pages for each sport, even if it's just to keep things more organized?

Especially Penn Relays. Its the only think Franklin Field is remotely full for anymore.

In 2001 when DVD writing was new and tricky, I burned a half-dozen DVDs and all six are readable, plus a random couple I checked from 2002. To criticize optical backup generally is a disservice to people who'd benefit from having an archive they can store out of their houses in case of fire or flood. If the data is really important (your most important 1,000 old family photos you scanned, tax records) at least that core bit of your history deserves to be on two sets of optical backup and mirrored or RAID hard drive storage.

How's 'bout the '92 team doing "Swan Lake" with Tim Button & JoJo Starbuck?? Tutu's and all! Adorable.
Or, for those with true, raging CHOCD I have Joe Nieuwendyk's actual, autographed, 2001 NYS fishing license!
What a treasure trove!!

I think the right first step is for everyone to compile a list of the games they have and on what media, then go from there.

Somebody raised the topics of DVDs on another thread and it reminded me.

Once upon a time, when we were young and dinosaurs roamed the Earth, several of us tallied up the Cornell games we had on VHS and hatched a plan to pool them onto a set of DVDs.

It didn't happen.

What can we do to make it happen?  Who would like to be in on it?  Does anybody want to be Project Manager?  (Great real life experience, students!!!)

I'm going to have some free time coming up in a just over a month. If need be, I can compile the lists of videos & try to keep track of who's got what or something.

I use a Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR for HD capture. I was a bit skeptical about the price, but it actually works great. The only problem I've run into so far is audio sync issues when using optical digital audio input, and that only happens when the feed changes between 5.1 and 2-channel during capture. No problems with 2-channel analog audio input. It has component video input, so there shouldn't be any copy protection issues (or at least I have yet to experience any). Only other drawback is Mac users have to buy software independently written by a Hauppauge engineer for capture, but it works well.

Bill, when you pull a DVD-R out of the closet in ten years and nothing reads it, don't come crying to me. Actually, do come crying to me so I can say I told you so. They said the same thing about 100-year shelf-lives for CD-Rs and all my early burns have been coasters for quite some time.

This looks like another option for putting video files on a hard drive.  (I know it won't work appeal to Age because it works on Windows 7.)  Does anyone here on elynah have a PC based DVR?  Are the files easy to edit and save?

I'd object to cable more than Windows 7. Of course, with that thing you're running the risk of something going wrong with the cable card, Windows or the device and you're SOL since you've got one shot to capture while the event is being shown.

It's the offseason. This sounds like a good off season project. I don't mind compiling lists if someone can provide me with data.

You have mine above.  Let me know if you need other info.  And thank you for working on this.

I've been working on my workflow going from DVDs to edited MPEG-4 files and pretty much have it down. I've also done the two NCAA games from this year. The beginning of the Michigan game comes from the HQ feed from ESPN3 until the proper broadcast starts. Those games weigh in at a few GB each. Torrents seem like the way to go to get the files out, but that initial seeding will be a bit of a bitch. Anyway, I'll try to go through my archives and figure out what I have before actually doing all the digitizing or converting.

During one of the NCAA Regional games involving CU,  ESPN showed video clips of the 1970 NCAA title game.    Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a video of the whole 1970 NCAA title game?   Until I saw those clips last month, I didn't know ANY video existed from that tournament.

It would go well with the 1969 game that I already have.....  But, 1970 would be priceless!!

I've started compiling a list based on what Trotsky has and what we had listed from the TV thread for this season. I'll be going back through the old threads and maybe (if I can find them) the old USCHO and CHN pages for TV listings and stuff for past seasons and see how far back I can go.

If anyone has a game on video in some format and willing to volunteer it up, let me know either back in this thread or by PM.
