SharePoint - Event Receiver to insert SharePoint List data in custom database

I have created a workflow on a sharepoint list. I need to attached an Event Receiver that will take the list data and insert it into a custom database without using a timer job when an item is approved. Can some one direct me to an example. All the examples I am seeing are using timer job, but I cannot use timer job because I do not have access to CA

Cases: 

The following are two problems when some users import MPEG-1/MPEG-2 to Final Cut: 

"I am trying to import MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Pro X. I have the raw files from a Sony Handicam HDR-SR5 as well as raw files from an Sony Handicam MDR-CX560. These files were recorded as MPEG-2 files and copied from the camera hard drives (entire folders were copied containind the MPEG-2 fies) to a local hard drive on my computer. Final Cut Pro X does not recognize the files and will not import them. I have tried to use Compressor to conver the fies. I am using the very latest version that touts being able to export to http://www.pavtube.com/fcp.html. I don't see that option anywhere in the settings." 

Question: 

Is there a way to get MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Pro X without having to convert them? 

Answer: 

Don't try to work with (highly compressed) MPEG 2 in FCP X. Use software to convert to ProRes 422 first, it's best codec for final cut pro or final cut express. Life will be much easier for you if you do. ProRes 422 is roughly between 5 and 8 times bigger than native camera footage - sometimes as much as 10 times, I believe, but it's well worth it for editing, effects and playback quality. The time required depends largely on your processor power but 30 mins sounds realistic. 

Software you need: 

Pavtube http://www.pavtube.com/hd-video-converter-mac/ 

This software can convert MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to Apple ProRes 422 codec for Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Expr editing without rendering.
