What's there to design? Don't we just need a basic webpage linking to the files? I'm thinking even a dedicated url is overkill. If the site becomes too popular even Devious's generous donation of 1TB will be used up in no time.

I'm thinking maybe the site should only be linked by an "official" thread in OT where the webmaster would change the url and directory of the hosted vids every few hours, and just update the thread as he does so. So it'll be more an OT thing 😉


just playing devils advocate here.
 
Anyone want to cap all the commercials and upload them as they get them?

If so, contact me and I can provide you ftp access.
 
I have mixed results with my captures. So I can't commit to anything, but if it turns out ok I can upload it.

I want to record the whole game, so I can't upload them as I encode them.

Awesome. Will have the account set up today sometime. Just need someone to design a main page and organize the commercial uploading/ripping/etc.

Awesome :thumbsup:
 
I would have liked to help capture HD commercials, but Comcast and the local fox affiliate didn't get a deal signed to get the local fox HD feed on comcast. At least I can use my OTA tuner to watch the game in HD though :thumbsup:.
 
I can provide the BT tracker and a terabyte or two of BW spread over a couple of servers.
 
Hosting is set up. Have no main page so for now it will be just the commercials. For those uploading send me a PM so I can set you up with login/password.
 
I'll be recording at Best quality on my hacked tivo. I can compress with VDub or Sorensen or whatever you guys decide on. if someone with hosting wants to pair up with me to run a few mirrors drop me a PM.

Apparently divx I'd say 720x480 is way too big, I was thinking about doing wmv as well... you can get pretty high compression with it too.
