Sapporo

The FIS web page Sapporo2007.com/english says 'TV footage will be primarily filmed with cameras from Norway’s state-run broadcasting station NRK'.

Does anyone know which European TV Stations may be showing that?

I am expecting some coverage on Eurosport. There are two versions of this
- a version with English commentary which is available on subscription
satellite and cable services in Britain, and German commentary version
which I can pick up in Scotland on free-to-air satellite. The pictures are
the same on both and, even though I only speak a few words of German,
there's no problem with watching the German version because the captions
tell you what's going on. There's a bit more information about both of
these at

and

Has anyone found the course maps and profiles online? I have combed
through the world championships website, but can't find them, which is
ludicrous.

Is anyone out there going to be able to capture these races and make torrent of them? Thanks in advance.
Cheers

NRK1?
:-)

Starting tomorrow at 08:30, they will be sending more or less _all_ the
time until the end of the championship.

"almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching"

If your IP address is German could you please go to your national
broadcaster ZDF site this Saturday by 9:30, use a stream recording program
(I can provide) and launch the "ZDF mediathek" live video player. ZDF will
be streaming continous Sapporo coverage until 16:15. This video is
streaming at 1550 kbit/sec which is a better picture than the NRK stream I
normally try to capture. I can't rip (capture) this stream because
American cable internet services just suck in keeping a steady data stream
from Germany and two, I get this message saying "nicht fur
Auslander-verboten" -- In other words German residents only!
I also believe network ARD is the other German broadcaster (maybe weekday
coverage?). I haven't figured out whether they have a webcast stream too.

Thanks...err,, vielen Dank!

Have you figured out how to compress your DreamBox NRK broadcast recordings
into the .H264 (HD-DVD) standard you told me about earlier this season? The
Sapporo coverage would be great for this. I realize some of the other
people here want Xvid compression in order to make a smaller torrent
downloads, but the picture quality wouldn't nearly as good. The main
problem is how to send your files to one of us who would be willing to
create the torrent link and would make their PC, Mac or Linux machine
available for uploading. Every file uploading site I've looked at seems
to be a pain in the ass when it involves larger video files. Do you know
how to use the .rar software to split your files? Because the most
reliable/fastest site now has this 100 meg segment limit even though total
size can be multiple gigabytes. Otherwise you could mail DVD's to me.
Anyway whoever receives them should of course reinburse you for
shipping/disk media costs. I myself can watch your raw TS files because I
use a "My HD" tv tuner card in my PC to watch all my television. Once you
watch 1080i X 1920 broadcasts, regular TV broadcasts look like junk.

Thanks

I do know how to do pretty much anything with a computer, try to google
my name. :-)

Anyway, we're currently in our mountain cabin, in Rauland Telemark,
where myfiber connection usually gives perfect IPTV quality, but that's
non-operative atthe time (the fiber provider is switching IPTV vendor),
so I'm falling back on an analog cable signal in my sister's cabin.

I.e. no recording here.

There's very little HD quality signals available, but even the normal
NRK1 digital sat feed looks amazing compared to the usual NTSC gunk you
guys use. :-)

Think "good DVD".

"almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching"

Andy was very impressive this morning, winning the qualification
round,followedby a bunch of Norwegians

Tor Arne Hetland was the only Norwegian to try skate skis, he eded up in
24th place, less than 1.5 seconds from elimination.

I don't think anyone will try this for the intermediate runs, but
maybefor the final if/when it starts to freeze, improving the glide a lot.

TAH was 11 seconds off the pace on the top ofthe hill, then gained back
about 3-4 seconds on the downhill & double-poling part.

Having this speed advantage (or even more) could be decisive in a final
sprint, but I don't think anyone will dare to try it before then, and
probably not there either.
