Yeah, while it would be nice to have the raw video I think you may have a wrong idea here. HDV video has about 10GB per hour. 8 parallel sessions 4.5h per day per session 3 days (last day a bit shorter)
With that I get about one TB of raw video data. Good luck uploading that to an FTP server... Also, getting the data off of various cams takes a lot of time. I don't see how they could have done it in time to hand it to participants. Daniel On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 4:31 PM, Nkansah Rexford <[email protected]> wrote: > Sharing videos are so important.
