Third Parties & Converting Video

Opta v Cricviz

• On tests, CricViz timestamps much better accurately capture the delivery without clip adjustment – 99% in ODC match (compared to 90% for Opta), 98% in WNCL (75%)
• Hawkeye is excellent, and supports live video cutting very well. Only occasionally stuffs up completely.
• If the game is coded locally, that time stamp is very good to use

Combining and Converting Video

Combining

• Most cameras will create multiple files if recording for the day. Copy these batch scripts (MTS format or MP4 format based on what the camera gives you) into the folder with your video files and run to combine into a single file
• Combine MTS
• Combined MP4 – requires VLC
• Video_combine.py – combines any formats into single MP4, if you have Python available

Converting MTS to MP4 (required for AAI, preferred for splitting)

• Open VLC
• Go Media>Convert/Save
• Add file, select Convert/Save
• Profile should be MP4
• Add destination file
• Click Start – this is a pretty slow conversion but reliable
