2010 Michigan at Penn State torrent (And one more thing...)

and one more thing...
we've recently acquired the ability to record the 'backhaul' feed of games; the original, untouched stream that networks send to their satellites for distribution. The quality is phenomenal, compared to the compressed crap your ISP pushes through.
Here is a sample clip of our first touchdown against Penn State. It's a little over 1GB in size - http://mgovideo.s3.amazonaws.com/sample.ts
if you could, please let me know how it plays back on your computer with VLC installed (Google VLCif you aren't familiar with the free software player). Also if you could include your computer's hardware specifications, if you know them, that would be helpful.
enjoy. hopefully I will have a chance to do a 38Mbit release for a game (other than Purdue) this season.

Currently downloading. By "sample clip of our first touchdown" do you mean just the single play is 1.5GB? If so, a game would be something on the order of hundreds of GBs? Good heavens.

My guess is first TD drive because that would be reasonable for a 1080i stream.
November 4th, 2010 at 1:32 PM ^
You're right. It's the whole drive.

A game @38Mbit runs around 50GB. ABC/ESPN broadcast in 720p
(1080i is yuck)

I just knew that they broadcast over the air at 1080i and its converted to 720p. I didn't know anything about what they provide to companies.

Gotcha. FYI: Video ran great except for a pause every once in a while. Could be because there were a bunch of other apps running at the same time. My machine is a MBP with a 2.4GHz i5 and 4GB RAM.

Once downloaded, the clip played through the windows media player and the quality was excellent.

Plays great in VLC and Windows Media Player. Doesn't look as good in MPC but that may be a setting I have to change.
Pretty amazing looking. I remember getting one of these last year for a whole game - I think it was around 18GB.

It looked fantastic. I have 2.53 GHz core 2 duo, and nvidia geforce 9400m graphics card. Hope that helps.
