would saving replays ever be possible?

[rudeypooh]

if replays could be saved, we could have competitions here in different fields.
e.g.
- best catch
- best wicket
- furthest six hit
- best injury due to bouncer lol a little evil but hey good entertainment

what are your ideas guys?

Someone close this thread.

[duffarama]

I'm your friend now am I?

 

[rudeypooh]

only being friendly didnt know it was a crime

 

[duffarama]

No, it actually made me feel good knowing that I have a friend at PlanetCricket now.

 

[rudeypooh]

lol ok we all mates here with the same interest of cricket, lifes too short to spend it arguing don't you think?

anyway back to the topic, you think having say competitions of best catch/wicket/six/injury and stuff would be a good idea?

 

[duffarama]

LOL.

Yep, on the topic. I think having those competitions as you have mentioned is a great idea.

 

[rudeypooh]

whos attention would i have to bring it too for it to be implemented on the site?

 

[duffarama]

You could pm either Ste, Ritwik, Sangam or Zimrahil (admins).

Would be a good idea but the size of the files for replays would have to be kept quite small. What sizes normally come out of Fraps?

A 3 minute 800x600 video would be about 100mb, because Fraps isn't able to compress the files well in realtime. You need to grab a video compressor so the filesize can be lowered to around 5mb.

 

[rudeypooh]

you could limit filesizes to about 2-3 mb so you get 10-15 secs worth of footage which should be enough to show a catch/wicket, etc.
