I decided to edit together some new videos using some of the available footage from AC and CC. So far I've finished Midgar canon firing, Rufus shot by Diamond, Nanaki's ending, Aerith's funeral, Meteor from space, Sephiroth Discovers Jenova(CC with voice), and another new opening(CC & tech demo with voice). These all work 100% on my machine and should be usable right away for anyone that plays fmvs from hdd.
Original Quality Vids (320x224): not available. You can resize the higher quality ones if you need them for some reason
A great many thanks go out to Otokoshi for the most excellent Opening logo(without tech demo script). seriously your opening is awesome and I think it far better than mine. also the reason I didn't include the sephiroth in flames, Otokoshi's is definitive. If you don't already have them go here.

how do you implement these into the game.. there is no read me
Not if you use a certain OpenGL driver.. :-)
The current version only has the TM2.0 codec though, but I can add any codec supported by ffmpeg on request.

I'll bite :-D This would be much appreciated, when I did the videos prior, there were xvid versions as well. The small amount of tweaking to get them to work with FF7 made big headaches for myself with constant tech support. I had gotten a h.264 video to run in FF7, it wasn't pretty, but support for any of those codecs would be great.
True I'm working on all the ones already released plus a few more, But they are so big it takes longer to process them.
I really don't know about the bug, I don't experience it, however you could download super for free and reencode them with a different setting. I used Avi with Xvid and mp3.
Obesebear: Did you leave all the Menu at the end or cut it of? I was going to contact clover also, I have the HQ vid already and the size is 1280x720. Quality is good. I also got permission to use this for Aerith's Death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4OAzP8_Xvk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4OAzP8_Xvk) I have already been sent the original video and croped of the Script. I'm going to try and get permission for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqZVe2xXofc&feature=response_watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqZVe2xXofc&feature=response_watch). Working together sounds good. PM me a link and we'll get it at the top. not to sure about torrenting these as a package though.
ok this sounds REAALLY cool! i wanna know how to make this work! is this possible on vista since vista dont like alot of patches/mods?
Aali, I included the codec info or those not using your driver. However everyone should be using your driver by now.
Thank you! thats what i was saying mostly haha, sorry if i didn't come off clearly. I suck at communicating
Again, amazing job Grimmy can't wait for the HD vids :-D
EDIT: Grimmy, http://files.filefront.com/hq+vidszip/;13760636;/fileinfo.html just takes me the the main filefront page.
how do you implement these into the game.. there is no read me
I've yet to use it as i just downloaded them, But what you do is do the following:
start > Run type "regedit" without quotes then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Square Soft, Inc. > Final Fantasy VII and in there you have a string marked "MoviePath" right click and select "modify" then change the value data to where ever you put your movies (have to take all of them from the disc first, then put in the ones from here)
Hope this helped you out
EDIT: not sure if it matters but that is with 32bit WinXP
Thank you so much........ whew! You are a life savior ^.^.......... Now how do I implement the HQ movies without F***ing up my computer? :D
I am beginning to hate technology xD
Please and Thank you,

Added original and hq quality Ending2 vids from Darkangel 8694 to main post. Made from dark's original 1280x720 with audio corrected to not sound so blown out at loud parts. I've seen it in a vid pack as just a youtube rip and the audio is pretty bad.It's a good edit: I bet it took him some time to synchronize those images, but even if it's that good, it's way far from calling it "real". I wish there were more official material, so these kind of edits would look more appealing.
Thanks for the complement Kaos. However I'm notsaying, nor did I ever say the word "real". I choose to get permission from Hybridmoon, Darkangel8694, and Clover27(thanks to Obesebear) to include their vids on this thread because I felt they all added something to the game and where a step in the right direction as far as fan made FMVs go. The type of editing and masking portrayed in their vids is difficult, and people who master it ussually make good money doing it.Yeah, I recognize their hard work, and though they add that extra feeling to the videos, it's not my type.
There were a handful of significant gems amongst the clips. But say, grimmy307, do accept criticisms as well? Or is it not allowed in here?I don't think there is a real need to criticize the videos from Hybridmoon, Clover27, and etc.. because there is simply nothing that can be done about it here.
Thanks for your opinion, obesebear, but I didn't meant Hybridmoon or Clover27 videos. I meant Grimmy307 videos. Furthermore, YouTube is not a place to register constructive criticism; but rather, a place to react upon impulse.There were a handful of significant gems amongst the clips. But say, grimmy307, do accept criticisms as well? Or is it not allowed in here?I don't think there is a real need to criticize the videos from Hybridmoon, Clover27, and etc.. because there is simply nothing that can be done about it here.
However if you search for hybridmoon on youtube I'm sure you'll find all the links to the videos, and that would be the best place for criticism I think.
This is a public forum, so you can say what you will. However I made my videos to satisfy my own needs and not the needs of others, so if you have problems with my work I recommend you make FMVs the way you want them. I made these available for the people who wanted to use the scenes from AC in their game but didn't want to do the editing themselves.Oh, no! Not "problem" with them. Just the problem of FF7 not loving my Nero's MPEG-4 Splitter which I can perfectly handle in case I decided to use them in the game. (Either I'll tell Nero MPEG-4 splitter to kindly stand down for FFDShow VFW codec to handle the case or I'll convert the videos.)
Any problems people have encountered using these vids have come down to being a user error, not a problem with the vids or the os.E.X.A.C.T.L.Y! Well said. That's what I was trying to say all along.
They could have easily done all the original vids with a more universal codec and format but they wanted to protect there property.I'm afraid you are apparently wrong becase:
There is no need to convert vids to use TM2.0.
This one the easier way but has too many drawback and consequences to suffer, not in regard to FF7, but to your other uses of a computer.Yes, you are BOTH right! :-D
Anyone with a good Codec pack like K-Lite should be able to play all these vids without problems. I also suggest always using Aali's custom driver(since everything is allready included).Yes. I'd like to stress that if anyone's video playback is promblematic he or she shouldn't blame it on Aali's driver. It is not involved in decoding. (Perhaps involved in splitting, muxing or rendering but not decoding.)

Is ACC Blu-Ray exclusive, or is there a DVD version also? Not a huge issue to me, since I have a PS3, but it'd suck if people who don't have blu-ray players couldn't watch this cut.
Fleetcommand I don't think you were lied to that sounds kinda right. They added some to the end of Cloud and Sephs fight, but it isn't totally changed. Cloud still dies exactly like before. Then they add a scene of people getting a phone call to go to the church. Cloud is revived as before and the movie ends.What? Have we actually seen the same AC? In the AC that I watched, (Japanese, DVD, Region 2), Cloud didn't die at all.

So, I understand you edit videos, grimmy307, don't you?
Please tell me: Is it possible to do something like adding a lightening-shaped tattoo on Cloud's forehead in videos or paint a logo or insignia on Highwind in FMVs? If yes, which programs can be used to do this? Any advice would be appreciated.
I use flash mx so doing that kind of addition would be possible but extremely difficult(even with flash cs4).Flash? :-o You mean the same program which creates Shockwave / Flash (.SWF/.FLA) contents? Wow! I'm intrigued! Actually, I expected anything (even Photoshop CS3 Extended) but not Flash.
Just out of interest, WHY do you want to do this?I'm inspired by three things: Curiosity, curiosity and it-which-must-not-be-named that killed the cat. But if you don't believe me, you can safely presume that I'm trying to replace Cloud with Harry Potter and I'd like to replace Shin-ra insignia on Highwind with that of Lord Voldemort!!!

Another movie I intended on doing was the scene where Cloud escapes from the guards after the mission. When he jumps off the train, the movie could cut to Cloud jumping off the train from the PS3 demo, show the shot of him landing on the ground, but only enough so that you can't really discern the background, then cutting to the Crisis Core ending movie where Cloud is in a similar position kneeling on the train with his sword in front of him (making it look like he jumped onto the train and landed in this position). Cut to Cloud standing up on the train as it rides off into the distance, finally cutting back to the train wrapping around the pillars, where it ends.Now this I like! Anything to get rid of the horrible "chibi" model they used for the FMV, and if in the rights persons hands, ontrain.avi could look quite believable.
Frame rate issue? I was under the impression that 15 FPS is enough for these kind of videos. I could (fairly) easily add support for higher framerates for fixed-FPS content.Please do. There is such an obvious stutter in the opening video when it runs at 15fps instead of 30
Well I'll be redoing my videos with the higher res sources I used a few years ago. If anyone would have links to higher quality vids of either the tech demo or the sephiroth vid, shoot me a PM. My source vids are good quality, but I'd rather just do this once with a very high quality source.The Advent Children Complete movie was converted to 720p and uploaded to a torrent somewhere on the internet so that DVD owners could also watch it. It's only in Japanese, but for the Sephiroth scene that wouldn't really matter. If 720p is good enough for you, I can try to find that torrent again and rip that section of video.
This is exactly the kind of questions I PM'd you about a while ago Tsetra. As I've seen your expertise with Meteor. :wink:

For videos (like the PS3 opening) that were originally recorded at 30fps, there is an obvious difference between 15 and 30. Same goes with the video Clover made.Frame rate issue?

@ kramner. Prob with that is, as you say it is from a recording. I hope they release the full vid.... But even so, how would that meld onto the original FF7 background?
The TM20 codec wasn't exactly the creme of the crop.
ok i have added audio this time but after i had uploaded it to youtube and to mediafire i noticed i had forgot to remove the letterbox before the end so i will have to go back and do that later, But the audio should be pretty much timed right to go with the video, the audio was taken from grimmy's HD opening and just reedited to fit with my opening (like rearranging the sound after the train goes past to make it fit with the shorter scene etc)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyl2zn4AwlA
Also the videos below are the same as above and have the letterbox all the way through the video, I have uploaded both Xvid and MP4 versions (i uploaded both because MP4 seems to give slightly better quality but i added the Xvid ones since MP4 isnt supported yet in game). I also experimented with a blur on the video on the Blured with audio links to see what happens but to be honest i didnt see much difference (on the text where cloud speaks i could but the rest of the video was pretty much the same) but if anyones interested take a look and if your not just ignore them.

That just looks like a slightly updated version of one of the replacement FMV's that are already converted and available to be put in game.Hmm. Yes you are right there’s already a version of it here. I haven’t checked the videos here for some time and the one I had downloaded was the original death in higher definition so when I stumbled upon this one on youtube I didn’t bother to take a look at the newest versions. I guess I should check a little bit of what is already available before I make such posts. :oops:
Perhaps you guys could contact This guy (http://forums.ffproject.net/showthread.php?t=3848&highlight=death+scene). Look's like he's pretty damn good Doing stuff like this, and if you're lucky, he might actually be interested in remaking more Cutscenes.

fascinating, hard to tell if he'll be animating or just doing stills, but i was planning on eventually remaking a number of the FMVs with the battle models we're making (continuity ftw!) along with some nice shading and rendering techniques (so they dont look as bland) to get a complete makeover to the game (only thing left being backgrounds)

I don't remember what came of it, but.... I know Grimmy released a different prelude and was looking in to replacing the scrolling text with pictures or something else. I think it has its own thread, but you'd have to do some searching.
1080p for me, then again I already have advent children complete on my hd so i could just do it myself ;DPlease do, it will take me forever to download this thing.
I wish that was too small for my screen xD highest i get to is 1280x800I'll take that as a vote for 720
So, if scenes are being ripped from AC, what do we do about the aspect ratio?Or they will be cropped.
AC is 16:9 and FF7 is 4:3 (well, not exactly). The videos will either be squashed and stretched or they will be letterboxed (and since FF7 is pillarboxed on widescreen monitors, does that mean the videos will be windowboxed?)
Maybe i'm wrong.. But i'm pretty sure PSX videos don't scale in an emulator. at least not in legend of legaia or Legend of Dragoon
me and obesebear will be working on this soon for H.264 using super resolution technique. This is about as good as it gets folks..)

I am aware some people use blur filters but I have been doing a lot of testing and realise that if you do blur sure some of it seems to be easier on the eye but you lose a lot of quality and it becomes worthless bothering to do the project.

d. PsxMC to extract FMV from PSX discs (mov and str files) to Lagarith AVI
2 things...
1. it doesn't seem to detect the frame rate properly (15fps) and therefore in an editor this poses a problem.
2. Is there anything that can be done about this pixellation effect:
https://doc-00-74-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/secure/rb76hs62dof3nkvdingba5cedl9ltjag/ck3vnq1crc3o9pu0su2lvul2n9bfv6bu/1271721600000/00779272082797560353/*/0B1JH_wU1qqN4ODIwZTVlM2YtYTAyMi00MGI5LTlhYWYtYzJjNTI2OTVkZTZh
The mosaic kind of pattern?
psx video is
15 fps. If you tell it to output to that, it should be perfect. It really is exactly 15 frames to 1 second of footage.
The sample rate of the playstation (in case of FF7 and a lot of psx vids if I recall) is 16 bit stereo 37800 Hz
PC is also 15.000 fps.
java -jar jpsxdec.jar ff7disc1.bin -index ff7disc1.idx
Since you want 15 fps, you can change it in the final AVIs, or you can edit the index file. Search for all instances of "1001/100" and replace them with "10/1".java -jar jpsxdec.jar ff7disc1.bin -index ff7disc1.idx -a video -quality high -vf avi:yuv
m35, I exported with highest settings to yuv, and this file wouldn't load in Sony Vegas? What about exporting to bitmap images again? Isn't that also uncompressed and top quality?Are you serious? Sony Vegas doesn't support YV12 color space (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/285386-Sony-Vegas-YV12-colorspace)? That's very disappointing, and now I'm not sure what to suggest.
Note: I'm somewhat of a videophile. There's a chance no one would even notice the degradation of qualities identified above. Try them out. Maybe it will be good enough after all.
just wanted to let you know that sony vegas can play YUV format, i installed win7 evaluation onto my VirtualBox and then the trial of sony vegas and then ran jPSXdec and encoded the videos to AVI then tried to open them in sony vegas and they only opened as sound files, then i installed k-lite mega codec 590 (the latest at the time i am writing this) and then tried again and it worked. So basicly just install the right codecs and it should work (i thought vegas used its own codecs but i guess i was wrong, maybe thats only for encoding and not decoding).
Also a few of the videos are encoded at way above 15.000fps, for example the video SMK from FF7 is outputed to 18.750fps.
They are ALL 15 fps. Even if they aren't reported as it by whatever means you are using. Every single ff7 video is 15 fps.
They all play at 15 frames in 1 second. The PSX was designed to play at 15 and 30.
When transferred to NTSC television, the rate is effectively slowed to 23.976 frame/s, and when transferred to PAL or SECAM it is sped up to 25 frame/s
Any case, I am just waiting now to see if this latest FMV extract program is going to get better in the coming revisions with regards to quality...
I don't want to start extracting and encoding only to find it could have been even better :)
It would be really hard to find that PlayStation because it is the oldest version. But if you have the money try Ebay.Any case, I am just waiting now to see if this latest FMV extract program is going to get better in the coming revisions with regards to quality...

I've spent the last week looking very closely at colors and how they should be handled. It is very complicated, and there won't be any useful update to jPSXdec for some months.
I really need a used, early generation (darker gray color) PlayStation, along with an Action Replay or Gameshark that plugs into the debug port. That will give me the critical information I need to continue.
So only colour could be improved?
Therw ill be no improvements to anything else? I can deal with that....I am not fussed wrangling over a small difference in colour.
I may wait though until there is an option to choose frame rate, and a GUI again rather than command line. If the quality is likely to remain mostly unchanged, I may go ahead and start converting.

I still don't understand the problem. The first post in this thread has altered FMV's that play just fine. And Aali's driver can play videos over 15 fps (depending on resolution). So whether or not it's right or wrong, I really don't see the big deal about 2 extra frames per second, or even 15 extra. It will just look better
Those from the first thread are all at 15 fps aren't they?Honestly I don't know anymore.
Those from the first thread are all at 15 fps aren't they?Honestly I don't know anymore.
But I do know that my nivlsfs video runs (albeit choppily) at 23.976 fps just as long as I keep the resolution low. Once Aali figures out a better way to decode these videos it will work just fine in HD.
So we'll wait for Aali to update his drivers?? Oh I wish he figures it out.Well he tried to incorporate a faster decoder last time, and it kind of worked, but still not enough to run a HD FMV with more than 15 fps.
OK....me and kranmer have been looking into this. First, an apology. Your program does seem to report exactly what I would expect on most of these video's, which is what I said earlier....that they are all 1 frame rate.Ah, I assumed you had noticed when I posted earlier about the v0.92.0 update (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8414.msg134935#msg134935) which fixed frame rate detection, and were using that latest version. That would explain why you thought there were "50 different frame rates" (which the older v0.35 inaccurately reported). I'm glad we got that cleared up...except for what I said earlier...that the FF7 PSX still does not use all 1 frame rate. ;) It uses three: 15fps, 15.000/1.001fps, and 18.75fps.
(the earlier version of your program was way off on pretty much all of them,
I still cannot explain why there is just 1 vid out here... that is still reporting (as of latest release) an 'odd' framerate of 18.75 fps.Yes, as you found, SMK.STR and LSLMV.STR both have the different frame rate of 18.75fps. jPSXdec is operating correctly, and is accurately detecting the exact rate on the PSX disc. The rate is very easy to calculate: 150/8 = 18.75. I trust this calculation makes since to you because you must have looked at my documentation by now (something I have twice suggested you do).
All the others are perfect and reporting 14.985 or 15.000 which is correct.Thank you for accepting them as 'correct', because that is exactly what they are on the PSX. As I've said before, you are welcome to adjust all the videos to be exactly 15fps for the PC version since that's what it needs.
(using 15 fps for that in PC would be what is expected)
By Kranmer (marked in red are problems?):You may notice the pattern that all videos with 15.000/1.001fps have audio, and all videos without audio are 15fps (except for the 18.75 cases, which I admit are odd, but still that is how they are). And no, just because there is audio in a PSX movie doesn't mean it will automatically have a fractional frame rate (please see my documentation for details). The PSX game designers deliberately chose those frame rates that you see. My assumption is they used 15.000/1.001fps to prevent the audio from getting out of sync with the video. Why they used 18.75fps for those two videos is a mystery to me.

I am not sure if aali's driver or FF7 PC will manage with 14.985, and hence, an option to round them all to 15 would definately be preferable imho. I will need to test it...I will agree yet again that adjusting to 15fps for PC sounds like the best course of action. I hope since we agree on that point, you don't have to persist asserting your still unfounded idea that all the FF7 PSX videos should all be detected as 15fps. In the unfortunate case that you continue to insist that erroneous notion, let me address 3 reasons you have briefly mentioned why you might think that.
I never intended to say that all videos report 15 fps in different games (but I certainly didn't know that), although it is news to me that they can use different ones inside the same game.Not really important, but I may not have been perfectly clear about this. PSX games can actually use just about any frame rate you can imagine. PSX videos can even have variable frame rates (which took no small effort to include handling for in jPSXdec). FF7 videos just happen to use three particular rates.
Grimmy-I was googling a video editor and I don't know whats best and easier to use. What do you use to edit your vids?? :?
So is it possible to get 720p or higher video resolution in the game?Theoretically

I used flash to edit my vids, but would suggest any new people to use adobe premiere. As far as freeware I use vdub but it's not all that good.Flash?? I bet that's hard to use. But I'll try it. Thanks for the info. :)
The FF7 field script sets a number of frames to count and soon after calls the movie. Once the frame count is up, the script resumes when the movie is expected to stop. If the frames exceed or fall short of this frame count as called on by the field script, then you experience oddities. Aali can possibly come up with some wizardry to bypass it, but one solution would be to bundle the FMVs with different frame rates alongside field files to insert that have been modified to accommodate them. This can be done in Meteor and fortunately is none too difficult, however the downside is that modifying the field files will make them incompatible with any other mods which alter them. On the other hand, you can always make compatibility patches down the road so it's not too big of a downside.So that means you have actually done that?? Would you mind uploading or posting a video of what you've done so that we could see what you've done?? If what you say is possible then that'll be epic!! ;D
As an example of the potential for this, a project I was working on before I got tired of Meteor's slowness was to completely modify the beginning cutscene. I had a 30 fps video with the PS3 tech demo train rolling into the station, a prerecorded video of the guards being taken out and Barret waving to Cloud added onto the end of that, and finally the PS3 tech demo Cloud jumping off the train and landing. Field script was modified to start actual game events already on the ground with the prior events already wrapped up.
There are ways around everything.
No not necessarily. If you keep them a low resolution you can get higher FPS out of them. Somewhere around here Kranmer re-encoded a high-res video I made using a different codec and lower resolution and got it to play at 23fps I think.
Yeah I think I remember my NIVLSFS video playing just fine in 1280x896 at 15 fps. 23.96 looks so much better though. This project is probably best left for a later date in time.Probably once the new engine comes in.

Using h.264??
I've been planning to redo my older mods like that one to use higher resolution images in modpath. After doing that it would make it easy for you to mix and match it with the other modpath prelude so you could have pics and names.
im currently reworking the videos that grimmy uploaded not that there was anything wrong with them as i thought they were ace but i have added some effects and sounds to make them look a bit more realistic as some of them didnt have sound or was annoying like sephiroth burning nibelheim the sound is terrible taken from the original vid so have changed that and ive done the aerith funeral video to will upload to mediafire for any1 who wants them
can this be added to 7thHeaven? thanks in advance! :-D
Thanks for the great work Grimmy, I guess this will be THE definitive FMV pack for the game from now on. Makes you wonder why Square itself didn't use the Toshiba DVD footage for the steam re-release...

With FF7 Remake released we now have the cutscenes of Mako Reactor 1 exploding, Cloud Jump onto the Train, Cloud falling, the Plate falling, and the Bikes!!! ;D ;D ;D
