Sochi Olympics videos

Recommended Posts

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.

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. PGS & PSL

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?

Just stumbled across the Sochi slalom video above.  Incredible clean runs in the men's and women's small and big finals.  Direct links:

Required viewing for any aspiring SL racers!

Some great riding there! 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.
