The spectator mode is something that administration would like to see pushed.
I'm not sure about others ,but I'm down with having a 3rd party join the fight (crash the jet) and record fraps..etc for posting purposes.
I'll be flying somewhat regularly, so if anyone wants to give it a shot I'm down.
This could turn out to be pretty cool. We'll see what happens. If I'm on TS for a match and one that wants to record by all means jump on board.

Looking for spectator to record footage in matches

Hey guys,
During the first three (3) weeks of Season 3's race, there have been over 70 matches completed. And as you can appreciate, gallons of adrenaline have been consumed. The IDFL would like to share some of that adrenaline with the rest of the Falcon Community.
With Secure Falcon in use by competitors, spectators can join in the matches and watch the fight going on, not just listen in Teamspeak. There are some rules that need to be followed so as not to disrupt the concentration of the competitors in the match itself. However, since the matches are conducted on Peer-2-Peer connections, there isn't enough bandwidth available to have a large audience.
So the IDFL is looking for spectators who are interested in making Falcon related movies. We know there are lots of you around.
Here is the deal on what is expected of an IDFL Sports Reporter:
Please contact me for further information.
Cheers,
Nap

Here is the deal on what is expected of an IDFL Sports Reporter:
- You must not interrupt the match by talking etc.
- You should record an ACMI of the fight.
- You should record a FRAPS movie using the external views available to you. (The competitors have their external views disabled.)
- You should record the audio from the Teamspeak channel.
- The competitors have the option of running FRAPS on their PC's and getting some 'In the Pit' footage. (It will most likely depend on how fast their PC is.)
- The competitors who record their fights with FRAPS will send their files to the Sports Reporter.
- The Sports Reporter will edit the various media sources he has available to him, along with any commentry you wish to add, into a movie.
- The movie should be converted into a Flash format and uploaded.
- Movies to be shown through the IDFL site will have to comply with some other technical guidelines so as to make them fit into our website.
Please contact me for further information.
Cheers,
Nap

CM,
Didn't know that, thnx 4 the heads up.
Hmmmm, not sure what can be done. The TS recording was just an idea. If it can't be done, then so be it. But it might be possible to switch off the capture of Falcon audio (since there really isn't much going on there except button clicks etc.)
But please do spread the word around.

I would ask others on what compression programs or recording settings they use to minimize the size of the footage, while at the same time keeping the Fonts fairly legible.

Got it all done at 1.2 Gig. I can upload it to Nap and maybe he can work his Flash magic on it.
GIG?! DUDE, that is way too big man lol!

The largest single file is under 160 megs. Most are under 100.
Some sorties had to be broken up into 2 to 3 parts. Some fit in one part.
ROE 1 sortie 1 where we ejected is 3 parts.
ROE2 sortie 1 is short
Nap was able to reduce the size of Buff's vid without losing a lot of quality. Hopefully he can do it for these also. Th HUD numbers are readable right now, any more compression and they probably will not be.
