CSA & Sportsnet plans for live streaming video of game in St Kitts?

[lazlo_80]

Just got a tweet reply from one of the guys at sportsnet that this stream will indeed be available to people outside Canada. No geo-blocking.

Huzzah!

I'm going to try to record the stream (in a less-than-ideal, indirect way).

I will post it in its own thread that does not contain any results.

I'm also attempting to record the stream. I missed the first five minutes or so, but hopefully I'll have the rest. Not sure how I'll upload it, but we'll see what happens.

Are you recording it directly on your computer? If so then it would be easier for you to post.

[BrianW]

Yes, I'm recording the stream directly. Just trying to convert the flv format into mp4 and then I'll need to figure out how to torrent it or something after.

[BrianW]

My stream just died for a couple of minutes so there will be a gap in my coverage. Hope nothing important happened.

[ChrisB]

Well, thanks to Sportsnet anyways, so that we got to see Canada in all their glory...

[DJT]

Yes, I'm recording the stream directly. Just trying to convert the flv format into mp4 and then I'll need to figure out how to torrent it or something after.

Just create a free account at, say, Megaupload (that's what I use) and post it there. No need to create a torrent, really.

Besides the stream getting choppy and skipping a few seconds here and there, I got all of it, so let me know if you need any gaps filled.

[BrianW]

OK, here's the link. I left the files as .flv format as I was having some issues converting them. If somebody wants to convert them and reupload, please do so.

It's missing the first 8-10 minutes of the game as I got home late and is missing 2 or 3 minutes of the second half (around the 53rd minute) because my stream died. Also the stream was occasionally stuttering. It's still better than the Icelandic TV stream that the Voyageurs have put up with before so hopefully this is acceptable.

Thanks BrianW. That'll save me some work. I'm going to post it in a new thread as well so that people can find it more easily.

Great job by Sportsnet !

A sincere "Thank you" to everyone involved at Sportsnet and the CSA in putting this thing together. The quality was very good, considering what you guys hads to work with, and I was able to experience the game live in all its excitement.

Despite some people's negativity toward this parsticular game, I see it as the game in which Canada clinched qualification to the semifinals of World Cup Qualifying. This is something to celebrate, not a cause for complaint. I'm pretty sure that TnT supporters expected they would do better than Canada this time around, and look where Jack's boyz are now.

Thanks guys, great job, and you've done well by this old school Canada supporter!
