SunSurfer Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Sochi videos are starting to appear on the official Olympics video channel. I cut and pasted embed code from another video to overcome the disabled embed button on YouTube for these summary videos of the mens & womens Parallel Slalom finals. Hopefully full replays of the mens & womens slalom & giant slalom will appear soon. <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bI-FhmBqy9c" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1TTDRUmj0pg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> Edited April 17, 2014 by SunSurfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxOLZ1CjGcj4T2ZGU2h5emJnNDg&usp=sharing In NZ free-to-air television had limited coverage of alpine snowboarding at Sochi. PGS was mostly the 2nd runs of the finals. (I have some of the ladies qualifying that I haven't processed, but could on specific request.) PSL was just the finals. I have managed to extract the coverage from my Sky decoder unit at DVD resolution, 1024 x 576 and have uploaded the results to my Google drive. The ads have been edited out, and the final .avi files compressed as each was around 25GB! When I tried loading on YouTube the first video was "blocked worldwide" before processing was finished by the site. There are two files in the shared directory.

SunSurfer Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Home from SES and doing some further processing of the original Sochi finals files to reduce file size prior to reuploading to Google Drive.

SunSurfer Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 PGS & PSL videos have been reprocessed using VirtualDub and GoPro Studio to reduce size but maintain reasonable quality. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxOLZ1CjGcj4UHNldXpvdGs4bEk&usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nope, still not working :( Thanks for the info Michael. Not sure what the "error" is due to. Will keep working on it and post when I think it's sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 No success yet. Using Google Drive have tried reloading the files as videos and as a .rar compressed file. Each time unable to get the files to a state where they could be successfully downloaded by someone else. I have other small files on Google Drive that behave beautifully, so I'm very puzzled by this! I would use my free Dropbox service but that has inadeqaute space with my cloud stored library of work-related journal articles. My bibliography software, Papers, is linked to Dropbox. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just this year alone I watched this competition 3 times :-). Less than 6 years passed since then, however it looks like competitive riders are more aggressive now. Important role in that are playing advancements in plates and boards, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
