All you need to be able to help is VirtualDub, XVid, and some tenacity.
Sync-quality footage is becoming available here:
http://www.uranium-anchor.com/speed/sda/sgdq2/
"Sync Quality" means that I used the lowest quality quantizer and stripped the audio track to make it as small as possible.
There are two folders:
dvd - anything recorded on the dvd recorders
xsplit - the raw streamed footage, reencoded at a lower quality
Information I need
The xsplit footage is only labeled by timestamp unfortunately, but most of the DVD footage should be pretty well labeled. I know that some DVDs have footage on them that was not otherwise indicated, such as Paperboy and Shatterhand being on one of the Athena discs. The information I need from all of you is basically frame numbers that indicate when the xsplit recordings and the dvd recordings match up. In order to do this, I suggest you open two copies of virtualdub, and frame seek until you see an identical (but distinct!) frame, and mark down the frame numbers for both. For each segment that either set of footage is in (some of the runs are fragmented in xsplit, some of them are fragmented across dvds, etc), I would like at least 3 sync points. One near the beginning of the run, one near the middle, and one near the end. For runs shorter than half an hour, 2 sync points is probably fine. For REALLY short segments (less than 5 minutes), one sync point should be fine.
While I certainly can't hold you to it, I would prefer to work "in order" as much as possible, getting early runs encoded first, but I won't sit on my thumbs if I have footage I can work with just because it's much farther ahead than I'd like to be.
Finally, if you intend to go find sync points, please announce it in the thread so we don't duplicate work. With your help we can get these runs synced and encoded quickly!
As an example of the sort of post I need, here is DXHR's sync points from the last marathon, which is a good example because the xsplit footage is in two parts:
Another good example is here:

All of the PC games are unfortunately XSplit only this time, and some games weren't recorded on DVD because people forgot to turn them on. I'm not sure which ones yet. Zyre is also still getting me discs as he wasn't able to burn them all off before I had to leave Utah. Props to him for getting as many as he did, though.
I do have higher quality Contra 4 footage as well, but I'll be syncing that myself.
All footage will have the xsplit recording as the primary source, with high quality footage layered over if available. Anything that is not at least D1/480i will come in MQ and HQ versions, at 640x480 (unless it's in widescreen, in which case MQ will be 320x240). Anything else will also come in an IQ version at 1280x960, if high quality footage is available.[/size]
