January 2014 Videos- Days 1-15

Recommended Posts

Hey Moti, I think you have mixed up Shogi and Myogiryu... The Komusubi went kyujo, not the Ozeki.

Perhaps that long Tokitenku bout really made you fall asleep ;-)

I have no idea what you're talking about (Oops!)

When I try to watch the video I'm getting a "private" message and I'm not allowed to see it

One of two reasons:

A) I decided to charge $50 a minute to watch.

B) I screwed up so royally and shamefully that I had to take down the original out of sheer shame and more shame and self-loathing disgust and more words.

Yes, it's B. Everything is fine now, hopefully, unless I called Fujiazuma Houchiyama or some other usual cock-up.

Thankyou very much. I should also have said how much I appreciate the excellent service you provide every basho. Awesome work!

I am getting the "This video is private" message when I try to watch DowntownHyena's Juryo coverage. I tried a proxy but it didn't change it. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks a ton for this, Moti. Indeed this is better than nothing and a small lifeline for us blind, Sumo-thirsty ones.

Thanks for the effort. Out of interest, was that the quality of the Ustream feed?

No, the quality of the ustream feed is the one we had online till yesterday. This is me with very bad screen capture software trying to capture a very choppy broadcast.

Kinta, you are a hero, and I thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart for all the effort and for not giving up on us...

P.S. Besides,by Kyokai pricing standards, that should be worth at least 5$ a day.

Moti comments are priceless, in both meanings of the word. Thank you! (Heart...)

Thanks Kintayama, much more than I expected.

Can we all pool together and buy you the seasonal pass or will that jeopardize your account too much?

(I'd be happy to front the next day...)

Cobbled or not, that is so much better than nothing that it is hard to express in words.

At this point, I'm out. Contrary to popular belief, I have been downloading my own stuff these last years and doing all the work, and not piggybacking on others' videos. This basho, I joined forces with Araibira and used his videos for the digest (after he generously offered me to do so) because I don't have adequate screen-capture software. If I did, I would pay the $120 and get on with it. Yesterday's digest mostly sucked and was mostly a useless hassle. If I find some quality vids to use I will, but till then, I won't try to capture the very shaky NIJI stuff like I did yesterday.

We shall see.

sad to hear although understanable given the recent hassle.

I will really miss your comments - they added another dimension to Ozumo.

One reason more to hope that the NSK marketing dinosaurs come to senses very soon.

A quick search gives me, e.g., such a link http://www.digitale-infoprodukte.de/contents/10-leistungsstarke-video-screencapture-tools/

It's in German, but the idea should be clear: links to various screen capture tools. Some of them cost a fortune, some are reasonably priced, some are free.

All the ones I tried suck, including trial versions of the expensive ones. The ones for Mac are really good but I have a PC.

Could you define "suck"? Then it would be easier to help searching.

They just don't capture motion smoothly. Simple as that. couple that with the already jittery stream/NHK stream and you get what you saw on my videos yesterday.

It could also be that my computer sucks, but that's another story.

Thanks a million times to Moti and Araibiria. Other than Moti, I was very glad to have his work for day 5. And I sure would miss his comments. Many many many thanks to Araibiria for putting up day 6. I don't know though, if the format he chose, was due to copyright reasons. I sure msiseds the original sound and wasn't to happy getting to know who won before watching the bout. But who am I to complain!

I mean this totaly serious. Would it be an option to buy Moti a Mac and an apropriate streamcatchign-software? Everything is better than to give the NHK 120$ per Basho.
