I really didn't want to put the original train sequence back in at the end, but it may just look the best. It would be a smoother transition into the game.why not use MP4 or Xvid with the biggest compliance settings? It should work with most systems. The problem might be the frame issues. FF7 has some sort of funky frame counting method. Which was easy on the playstation, it might be why they picked the particular codec used. This keeps the action in Sync with the video, if not, you my as well forget redoing the movie. If you wish to redo the scene set you can, Borde had some progress at attempting to encode a new tile background. If you set up the scene differently (IE change the camera position etc.) it should look fine. Then when cloud wanders up the stairs things will resume to 'normal'. Remember the scene starts out with a massive camera distance then zooms into the setting for the tiled background which is loaded after the movie is finished playing. So with some tweaking of the script and the background you can do it.
EDIT:
What compression format do you guys believe would be the best? I'm currently using Indeo 5.10, for the small file size and the fact that it's a common codec, but I'm not all that happy with the quality. If FF7 ran divX video I'd be all over it. I know it ran the older codec, 3.1 i think but I'd like a common one used today. What do you guys think?
any idea when you'll have it available for download???
File Front rocks. Definitely use it, I always get good download speeds and I never have to wait in line for servers, etc.
I have an account on there, I could upload it for you if you wanted.
Looking good Otokoshi
Well Audio definatly needs cleaning up.
And the transition between the stars in the sky bit at the start into the Ps3 demo vid, if yo uknow what I mean
It's still really good though! You should put in on youtube.com for some extra exposure. Well done!
I can only imagine how long that would have taken and if ONE technical demonstration of ONE cutscene of the game got the majority of the Internet thinking that a remake is nearly confirmed, just think about what everyone would have thought if they had done every cutscene...
Hey!
I downloaded both videos- but I can't play it...
Any idea what I could do?
I can't download from filefront, can you upload to other hostI wouldn't mind, just give me some examples of hosts you can download from. I don't mind if they were hosted from the Qhimm Wiki, I just figured it would be a size issue.
Yeah of course! But it says, that there is no video source! There just comes the audio- but no video^^Quote from the post you replied to, but clearly didn't read:
Well, do you have the indeo codec installed on your system?So, d33eniz, do you?
Can you upload to mediafire.comQuote from: d33enizHey!

Well, do you have the indeo codec installed on your system? If you could post some specifics of your problems, I'm sure I or someone else could help you.Quote from: nguyenhuy_princeI can't download from filefront, can you upload to other hostI wouldn't mind, just give me some examples of hosts you can download from.

Can you upload in another form? Can you convert them into .mpeg or whatever? Use X-Media Recode- it's the best free video converter I ever saw- but it also says, that there is no video source^^
Can you do something???

1) He is asking for support to my patch, I don't see anything wrong with that. Are you a moderator? Because your post is more off topic than his, so quit posting in my thread.
2) Deprecated? Yes the new patches are soo much better, because they used my videos without asking permission and posted them without giving me credit until I called them out on it. Sorry I gave the first custom movie patch for FF7 years ago. Deprecated just seems like kinda an asshole thing to say to anyone who is providing patches to you for free. I'm sure none of the creative people on this forum would appreciate such things said about their work.
@ TG_Sock
It has recently come to my attention that the opening fmv no longer works. I had previously hosted my videos on FileFront, and they kept deleting my uploads. I redid the video once using Vista and VirtualDub and uploaded it again. This video does not work with FF7, so I was going to redo these videos and release new Hi-res ones which work with Aali's custom driver. That is if there are less assholes on this forum such as titeguy3 :|

Yeah i thought Grimmy asked you.
I see, I was under the impression that you were a part of that project, Otokoshi, my mistake.
He does have a point however, the other thread has more videos, making this thread and thus it's contents a little outdated, and "your videos" aren't technically yours, they're property of Square Enix remember, sure a little credit to you would have been nice but in today's world you can't have everything.
A year long bump is still a year long bump, and is against the rules of many forums, a PM to you would have sufficed, however what's done is done.
If you really have something worthwhile to add, you can resurrect a dead topic. Otherwise... no. The limit is usually considered to be around two weeks, more or less. Certainly less than a month.
I don't agree or even understand your argument of "in today's world you can't have everything", it would be nice if people did the decent thing and credit another community members work.
Oto you had problems when i was necroposting EVEN when it was relevant to the topic.
You can never have everything. It's a rule of life. The same way "It would be nice" if I could redirect somebody to a working video without getting b*tched at. Sorry for being misinformed, just correct me, don't act like a jerk. I wasn't trying to be rude, so I'd appreciate it you didn't act so uptight about it.
why are you going out of your way to to attack me again, it gets old
why even bring that up?
a noob who didn't know what he was doing
I never even went near that degree of insulting you, in fact, i didnt insult you period
The reason i mentioned it was because you looked to me like you were picking who you want to harp over rules.
yup, didn't plan on it ending up like that but i guess there was no helping it.
@TS
does this have the exact frame rate as the original movie file? :?
Otokoshi, good to see someone else rolled up their sleeves and opened up Meteor. It's a fairly easy program to use, it just takes forever to learn the opcodes since the Qhimm Wiki's information - while totally correct - seems REALLY hard to decipher. Certain tasks, like getting an NPC to move how you want it, it also incredibly tedious but that's another topic altogether and irrelevant to movies.
