can some1 tell me this FMV's just like in Remix patch or not? (cuz I download it & it is awful) - 1GB of original video & replaced intro & some cuts from CRISIS CORE (my dovnload speed is 128 kbs...think u understand what i feel when i saw it quality...link 2 patch is www.finalfantasy7pc.com/mods/remix-patcher - DON'T EVEN TRY 2 DOWNLOAD IT!!!)))

This isnt from Remix.

Covarr · « **Reply #203 on:** 2011-02-01 23:01:29 »

No, the remix patch intended to replace content. This is simply much higher quality versions of the videos already in FF7.

If all of them like Jenova rus that i saw then it's "MUST HAVE" for collection with no doubt
...so anybody know how to make "Perfect Resize"(new "Genue Fractals") work with Photoimpact? (I don't have Photoshop...standalone "perfect resize" do not support batch conversion)...also "PhotoZoom Pro" is god for resizing but I wanna try all of them

Napper · « **Reply #205 on:** 2011-02-08 15:45:45 »

I've realised that my sound is out of sync with the FMVs. I noticed this during the bike.avi that all the sounds were delayed (example when he goes through the glass and skids). However when I watch the avi normally with WMP the sound is perfect and accurate.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

update to latest aali driver

Napper · « **Reply #207 on:** 2011-02-08 16:59:03 »

Im using aali 7.9 because when I use 7.10b the movies are very dark looking. How do I resolve that with the newest aali driver?

UPDATE: I fixed it using aali latest driver 7.10b. I went into the shaders folder and into the yuv.frag file and erased the line

"if(!full_range) y = (y - (1.0 / 255.0) * 16.0) * (255.0 / (235.0 - 16.0));"

Once that was gone. The movies had perfect gamma again.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #208 on:** 2011-02-08 18:34:54 »

From what I remember Aali is fixing the gamma for his next driver, too.

whether there is an opportunity to raise framerare at 30 frames per second without video acceleration? (using Google translate)

Daedelus · « **Reply #211 on:** 2011-03-02 02:12:03 »

It's probably something minor that I'm doing wrong, but whenever I run the setup, I always get an error when it tries to install the movies. The error states "Access is denied" on all attempts to install any video to the default folder, "E:\FF7\Movies". I figure all I'll have to do is allow access to the folder, but for some reason, I do not have the option to do so. What am I doing wrong?

And if it's of any importance, I'm running this on windows 7 32-bit.

Covarr · « **Reply #212 on:** 2011-03-02 02:24:28 »

Access denied issues can usually be fixed by right clicking the application and running as an administrator.

Right, but in this case, it's the folder in the iso I'm not allowed to access.

Covarr · « **Reply #214 on:** 2011-03-02 04:32:56 »

Oh I see. I misinterpreted your post, assumed E: was a hard drive, not a disc image.

To use these videos, you need to install them to a separate folder on your HDD. Just like you can't write to an actual game disc, you can't write to an ISO like that.

Daedelus · « **Reply #215 on:** 2011-03-02 04:34:50 »

Ah, I understand now. Thanks for the help.

yarLson · « **Reply #216 on:** 2011-03-07 13:21:36 »

ehm im sorry i feel kinda retarded, but um there aren't any installation instructions in the original post and I don't know how to get these working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should I put them in my data folder perhaps? I dunno I guess I'll just keep trying stuff.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #217 on:** 2011-03-07 13:25:28 »

You have to change the registry key to match the folder you want to use, and place the movie files into a folder (the installer will place them where you want). Your problem is the registry is still pointing to the disc location and not the folder the movies are now in.

yarLson · « **Reply #218 on:** 2011-03-07 14:17:46 »

yeah well you were right the value was set to the wrong directory but when i changed it nothing happened it still playing movies from the disk. Confused?!

DLPB_ · « **Reply #219 on:** 2011-03-07 21:23:29 »

make sure it has a leading \

for example, c:\movies\ and not c:\movies

yarLson · « **Reply #220 on:** 2011-03-07 21:26:49 »

ah okay I will double check that. Thank you very much sir.

*edit* it worked thanks again! However now I am having a new problem, the sound doesn't really work, as in it cuts in and out or is just way off, in the intro video the song even restarts half way through. Now you'll probably say to upgrade my aali's driver. I am using 0.7.8 right now. Wish I could use 0.7.10 but it pretty much breaks all of my custom models (doesn't use them, shows all kinds of glitchy things in place etc) and also seems to have problems with the mod path if memory serves. If you know how to resolve these issues with 0.7.10 I would love to hear it, or if there is another way to fix the sound that would be great to. Or perhaps could there be a problem with ff7music?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #221 on:** 2011-03-07 21:58:35 »

Yup you will need it or above to run these properly. And it might be ff7music or windows vista / 7. Windows vista and 7 have problems with sound. Check forum.

yarLson · « **Reply #222 on:** 2011-03-08 00:42:03 »

i got super lucky. I updated to the latest driver at it actually works. Man this thing has destroyed my install 3 times already but now for some reason it works without a hitch. Thanks again for the help

Terid__K · « **Reply #223 on:** 2011-03-24 02:56:27 »

An issue I noticed in your FMVs is that there is a distortion in the four sides of the picture of every video, which causes them to not align properly with the backgrounds (most noticeable in the Opening).

It's not very noticeable at first, but once you do notice it, it's impossible to ignore. You probably won't redo them, but I though I should make you aware anyways.

You also forgot to add the "fullrange=on" flag in the H264 settings when encoding them. Without that flag, Aali's driver renders the videos in the wrong colors (0.7.10b).

DLPB_ · « **Reply #224 on:** 2011-03-24 03:13:37 »

vegas doesnt have such an option... and it did work fine in the older driver. So I guess people will have to use older settings for the range?

Any case, I havent noticed any shifting. They were compiled at perfect resolution. The same as original.

Show me what you mean in screenshot.
