General Discussion / Re: Square-Enix is a douche

Why didnt they just do it secretly on closed forum and then release by torrent and deny all knowledge?  They ran scared.  I wouldn't.

Is anyone on Qhimms thinking of sorting thee bugs out?

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.

and they may turn around and say no, and then start getting on one asking us to cease immediately.  These people aren't always sympathetic and nice about it.

Peerless in the mistranslated English yes :P

Not sure if you have added invincibility for all players, maybe give them the invincible status effect.

Well, yv12 is a colour space, and I had to install divx to get that working properly...

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 :)

When my difficulty mod comes along, you will ;)

The problem is that the FMV in PC are all set to 15 regardless....if that is so, wouldnt that pose a problem in using that frame rate inside PC?  And that difference is too small for the human eye even notice, so why not just leave at 15?

And wouldn't the audio go out of sync?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate

and it seems most are definately set to whole numbers, with some changing for NTSC or certain cameras.

Pal seems to be 25 and 50 spot on.  

Quote
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

originally is it shot at 24

Ok I admit, I was wrong on this, I should know better than that as I do video edit and I know full well that NTSC is 29.97 so why I said that is anyone's guess... (still notice though that it was intended to be 30 and was reduced slightly for techincal reasons).  But I have been diverted here.,

The PC movies are all 15.000 fps as far as I can see.  And 15 fps is the correct playback rate.  I can't see any evidence that they are meant to be played at 18.93 or 14 or changing from place to place.

boogdown.avi = 15.000fps

canonht0.avi = 15.000 fps

opening.avi = 15.000 fps.

All of these movies are running at 15fps which is a standard frame rate for animation.

If you look at the standards:

Animation: 15fps
Movie 24 fps
Pal 25 FPS
NTSC: 29.97
HD: 50, 60 (or very close once again for NTSC)

None of these are whacky 18.34 or changing from place to place.  There simply is no way the creators decided to use different frame rates for these movies, and even if they did the PC itself uses 15.000 regardless and that seems to work fine.  I don't think you can get away with changing that anyway, the movies won't run properly otherwise.

Well I do know 1 thing.  FF7 are all 15 fps, and if your program cannot differentiate simply give us the option to manually enter it.

There is no such thing as .83 of a frame a second.

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.

I would prefer somehow you just tell the media file what to use or allow us to set it, because otherwie it means us having to change the header manually.

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.

I will wait until you have implemented it :)  I want to start the conversion of these movies with the best possible quality :)

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?

They take jobs that "people refuse to do" because the system is faulty, you don't fix a fault by introducing a new one.  If the system worked properly people wouldn't have the luxury of always sitting around doing nothing.  There are millions unemployed in my country doing nothing and if the system worked they would be out doing the jobs whether they liked it or not.

In an ideal world everyone would respect other peoples cultures, everyone would integrate, resources would be plentiful.

This is the real world, and illegal immigration or indeed mass immigration is harmful.

Troubleshooting / Re: Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8
« on: 2010-04-27 06:49:54 »
Some of these problems are not being directly caused by the driver and so there should be a bug report page, and not this one being swamped.

18
I don't want a remake, because as I have said before many times, they will butcher the plot trying to tie ridiculous genesis and other crap into it.  They will place way too many action scenes in it that lessen the dramatic impact and crush the dramatic tension.  They will use graphics as a substitute for gameplay and going by ultimania they will leave tons of translation errors intact to appease fanbase.

Leave FF7 alone and move on.  originality....something Square used to have before Sakaguchi vamoosed and they merged with Enix.

No not the old man, he is taken.  I think a better idea would be going to someone in Junon....possiblya  soldier who says he needs 99 of them for his collection or something....

But if you can add them that is a very good start, if you would work with me and we can go through areas we would like to see them placed?

Yes but if you fix the frame rate the time rate is also fixed....

PC sample rate isn't really important as this is PSX and should be kept to 37800 Hz

Any case PC is 22050 Hz, 2 channels, PCM

Also I don't understand what you mean by a non 15 fps...I would have thought, given PC is also exactly 15.000 that so would PSX.  When I match it up it does run with 15 frames a second...you can't have 0.1 of a frame or anything else, it is an absolute value.

wow another great editor :)!

Open FF7Config.exe and change the graphics to "Custom Driver"

im not an idiot, ive done that

This is why we shouldn't bother answering and why I never bothered helping you.  What we need is a readme for newbies (a proper one with pictures etc), and if they can't read that or won't bother, they can f*** right off.

I listened to people here in order to get this working and spent a lot of my hours learning all about computers in my spare time, so that I rarely need to ask for help in the first place.  I would have responded with the same suggestion as obesebear, because you haven't given enough details, nor sent the log you are always asked to send.
