[FF7PC-98/Steam] FMV Restoration (Discontinued, use Steam FMVs)

[DLPB_]

Nightmarish, your report please  I think this is the best way of eliminating this issue.  Maybe we can find out if there is a pattern....


CPU: Core 2 e6600
OS:  Windows XP 32bit SP3
Graphic Card:  Nvidia geforce 7900GS 512MB
Driver revision: 6.14.0012.6099
Resolution of game:  1280*960 windowed or full.
Sound Card: Audigy 2 Platinum Ex
Issue:  I have no issue at all running FMV.  Sound and Video work perfectly.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 8800GT 512MB
Driver revision: 280.19
Resolution of game:1680x1050 Full
Sound Card: Creative SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer
Issue: FMV's work flawlessly with Aali's 7.10 and newer.  With the plugin 'ffmpeg_movies.fgp' from 7.9 and older, the videos are choppy.

[Aali]

Your CPU is an important piece of information here. Older versions of the movie plugin didn't use any MMX/SSE extentions because it was prone to crashing. That *should* be fixed now but its possible that there's a bug with one of the different decoding paths.

lol

shocking how much of a prick he can be isnt it?

You don't have to look hard in this forum to find threads where DLPB is being an ass.

The founder of the site hates him even.

Fact remains, kiddo. Your movies don't work for everyone. So I'm responding to them on your precious thread and letting them know they have an option. Yah, it's true, I tend to troll you and only you. But it's because from day 1 I looked at this site and saw that flaming picture of yourself you use for an avatar and didn't like you. Have a nice day

Actually, you won't troll or bait anyone or you'll be banned.  Just because someone is a "prick" to you, doesn't mean you get to do the same back.  I simply suggest that if someone upsets you, you report it and don't get further involved.

OS: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium SP1
CPU: Core2 Quad Q8200 2.33Ghz @ 2.8Ghz
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon X1900XT 256Mb
Driver version: Catalyst 7.12 (newer driver versions cause me to completely lose opengl support - stupid ATI!)
Resolution: 1280x960 windowed
Soundcard: Creative SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer
Aali Driver: 0.7.11b
Issue: any FMV except the originals crashes my game, did manage to get the restored opening one to run (used original sqlogo) but then got a crash from a short FMV during the mako reactor bombing.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 8800GTs 640MB
Driver revision: 280.26
Resolution of game: 1680x1050 fullscreen, 1280x720 windowed, 1280x960 windowed
Sound Card: none
Issue: No issues, FMVs work fine with Aali's driver v0.7.11b

[Template]

OS: Windows XP 32bit
CPU: Intel P4 3.2Ghz Prescott
Graphics Card: ATI x800XT
Driver revision: Catalyst 10.2 (sigh)
Resolution of game: 1280x960 fullscreen
Sound Card: onboard SoundMAX
Issue: I have lots of issues! But seriously, I can get these videos to run in game but at a very slow speed, with sync issues on the sound obviously. Trojaks videos work but I would prefer to use these. Never demanded help. Actually, after these two posts, I gave up, though it left me frustrated:

Slowdown is typically caused by having a crappy video card, outdated drivers, or having texture caching enabled in Aali's driver on an ATI card.

You either buy a better computer or hope Aali figures out some way to better optimize movie playback.  Or you yourself convert the movies to a smaller size.

But those seem like pretty reasonable and straight-forward answers. I just kinda don't get it, it's one of those little details that just sticks in your craw. Anyway, my bad for trolling old Dan there. Carry on.

Put them in your movies folder and edit your registery.

[greenpeppers311]

My first registry edit... that was the most terrifying thing I've ever done to my computer (note that my personal text is "I'm not cut out for this"). It worked though! Movies look much nicer now.
