My plan this year is to get the new TiVo that can burn DVDs. This way I can have an individual DVD copy of each game (because otherwise they take up too much space on my DVR). That way I can watch all of the action and replays from home games that I miss from the stadium. For those of you who collect games on DVD and such, I will be happy to send them out to you (provided I can work out the technical difficulties to actually make this system work!)

Lastly, does anyone know if the DVDs will record in HD? That would be ideal...

DVD resolution is below that of HD TV i believe.

If you save them as data i can divx encode them and rip out commercials etc at full resolution though. A TV out from a computer or a personal video player (video ipod type things) or whatever would be needed to play divx back (some dvd players can also do it). Otherwise it can be turned back into mpeg (which is huge in filesize) pretty easily.

Does anybody know how to convert mp4s to mpegs?

There's plenty of software out there that will do it - just Google it. Most of it you have to pay for, but not much - $25-$35 is the average if I recall.

Of course there are ways to get free software, but I wouldn't know anything about that.

I created this little writeup last year that shows you how to convert MPEG4 to WMV. MPEG4 to MPEG2 should not require all that much modification to what is in the writeup.

Has anyone thought of setting up a really nice, comprehensive video archive/database of 'Skins footage? I'm intrigued...

I wonder if there's the potential for a bunch of legal issues what with video reproduction laws, copyrights, etc.?

Wouldn't be difficult and I've got the web space.

Sit tight...

I just switched hosts and will soon have 16x the storage and 6x the bandwidth of my current site.

But I said a "nice" site for videos, not a Frontpage hackjob ;)

I've got unlimited space and 500GB/month of bandwidth, so that's not really the problem.

I'd have a good time setting it up, it's just I don't wanna get my ass sued for copyright infringement.

What Front Page hackjob are you referring to?

If you start a site like that, your cue to take it down would be when they start going after YouTube and places such as that. If they're going to do anything, they'll target the big boys first.

I'm guessing YouTube could just say "Hey, our users post the video, it's their problem, not ours."

Maybe I'll just go for it and hope for a Cease and Desist notice instead of an all out lawsuit. Cease and desist I can deal with, the reincarnation of Johnny Cochran chasing my ass down I cannot handle.

That argument didn't work with Napster and it won't work with YouTube.
