i would be willing to pay for somebody to do this for me also.

7/26/2008 10:46:00 AM

shit....I forgot that I might be moving in December

I can't commit to recording the whole season

Any rebroadcast, retransmission or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the National Football League is prohibited

7/26/2008 10:55:41 AM

^^ where you moving to?

7/26/2008 11:08:21 AM

who doesn't have express written consent of the NFL

7/26/2008 12:50:59 PM

If I was gonna do this it would be at least several hundred

Not even close to worth the effort for 75

7/26/2008 1:21:17 PM

^10$ per game?

7/26/2008 1:23:23 PM

what the fuck am i gonna do with 10 dollars ?

7/26/2008 1:25:35 PM

how much effort does it take to record a game while you watch it, then put it on the comp and burn to dvd?

7/26/2008 1:27:09 PM

About 35 dollars worth of effort

7/26/2008 1:29:03 PM

If you want the ENTIRE season, including the Monday Night game on ESPN, youll need to find someone who has invested in a $250-$400 piece of equipment.

Plus if they have to watch what they record, then you have to find someone who can stomach watching a full Panthers game every weekend. Im a fan, but their games are boring as fuck.

7/26/2008 1:34:35 PM

If I wasn't a Panthers fan, I'd never watch any of their games

They'd have the same interest for me that the Chiefs do now

7/26/2008 1:36:55 PM

youll pay 75 bucks to watch the panthers go 6-10 in stunning high definition?

7/26/2008 1:41:37 PM

lol 6-10? thats it?

i say at least 7-9...maybe 9-7 if all goes well

7/26/2008 1:50:21 PM

youre in for a real SOUR treat my friend

7/26/2008 5:01:49 PM

you must not follow the Panthers if you think we'll go 6-10 this year

the Panthers will either go 11-5, 8-8 or 7-9

thats just what we do

7/26/2008 7:43:18 PM

they'll either go 6-10 or go to the superbowl and lose by 40. Just cause that's some carolina panther shit.

7/26/2008 7:57:34 PM

i thought htpcs were more advanced than tivos, that you can just set it and forget it for the whole schedule

that doesnt sound like much energy at all, i thought $75 was very generous

7/26/2008 8:17:47 PM

because the panthers always lose the super bowl by 40 points

7/26/2008 8:31:39 PM

last offer, still stands at $75 for something that you'd probably want to keep anyway (if we are good)

i provide the dvds, you just do the burning

I only have a vague idea about HTPCs and HD video, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the amount of recorded data will be bigger than either a single or dual layer disc can handle. Which means whoever does the recording will have to author the shrink to get it to fit on the disk. I'm not sure how soon you are wanting the games (weekly, or just archived for the entire year) but it would be much easier if you supplied a big eUSB drive and let someone copy the recordings to this for you. You might could get some takers at ~$100 for this, assuming they aren't slaved to the TV to get the recording.

Click #1 - record game, if you are watching it anyway this is a nonissue

Click #2 - use program to shrink to fit on disc (time consuming yes, but can be done right before you go to bed) there are a few possibilities like wmv-hd, divx hd, etc...i dont know what's quickest/smallest.

Click #3 - burn to disc

i would probably want the games once a month so 3-4 at a time

this would take 10 clicks max, and like i said if you do it before bed you wont even notice the time consuming parts

9/3/2008 5:50:27 PM

just curious, but why do you want this? are your sunday's booked or something?

No shit right? Because people don't hop around while a game is going on for various reasons.

I ripped and burned quite a few DVDs in my time. These are ~10gb and it would take ~1hr on my machine in some instances to fit to a single layer. I did some googling, I found this

"One hour of HDV 1080i is about 13GB. One hour of HDV 720p is about 8 or 9GB."

I'm trying to find something about how long the conversion takes, and a post on some random site from this past may (ie, I'd assume his computer isn't ancient) says it takes him 4hrs per 1hr to convert from 720p to H.264. So, if someone wanted to use their machine in the morning, they'd be dealing with their CPU being loaded with this task.

Just sayin. 75 bones aint shit for what you are asking. But a huge eUSB drive and I think you'll get some takers.

ok i be nice

NFL.Preseason.2008.08.16.Redskins.Vs.Jets.HDTV.XViD

If I can secure a group's release for every game, I might be willing to convert each for you but if you want uncompressed 720/1080p then it's out of the question.

i will probably miss every weeks 1pm games, which carolina mostly plays, because of work

9/4/2008 9:24:07 PM

if you have Time Warner you might just want to invest (additional monthly fee) in a HD DVR

if somebody was gonna burn the DVDs it seems like you wouldn't be able to watch the games nearly as soon as you wanted..I seriously doubt you want to wait until after the season is over to watch the games
