Over the past few days, I edited original digital tape from the individual
semifinals (Jeannet vs Zakharov and Kolobkov vs Ku), individual final
(Jeannet vs Kolobkov) and gold medal bout for team epee Russia (Kotchetkov,
Seline, Kolobkov) vs France (Obry, Jeannet, Janvier, Lucenay). This is over
500 lines of resolution (MPEG-2 -720 lines) vs around 200 of VHS. Slow
motion can be applied by DVD players. The DVD format is DVD+R, which is
played back by 90% of all stand alone players, and pretty much all players
manufactured after 2000.
After doing it myself, I now understand why Fencing DVDs have not been
available as of yet. Whatever proceeds exists would be donated to support
the fencing internet page for latinamerica (
http://www.esgrimaMEX.com and
its webforum
http://www.esgrimamex.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi ), A.K.A.
esgrima en espanol. For those of you who complain about what the USFA has
done for them (rather them doing something for the USFA), they just need to
look south at the rest of the American Continent to see how truly little
support exist there.
I should be able to post details within a week from today.
