FF7 movies decoding enhancement

[twipley]

Oh. You're right!
This is definitely a step ahead...

but what do you suggest using as the VFW codec?
on the VFW (video encoder) configuration, on the decoding tab, truemotion is set to libavcodec.

When it is set to "disabled", the truemotion video won't load in VirtualDub...
But with the libavcodec library, it will load with color misrepresentation, whether I have the truemotion directshow filter installed or not.

Have you got something additional to suggest?
Hey, and thanks for the help already given, too! :)

Duck TrueMotion2 VFW codec. for example here

Oh my. So simple! I only had installed the decoder, and not the compressor from the very same toolkit!  :oops:

You're such a great helper!
Thanks for the help, again.

P.S.: after having boosted my encoding skills...
time to play the game for real, soon, finally! :D

Well, here's another movie problem...

On XP, all is forking fine playing movies.
The movies themselves are rendered better in the game engine than before.

But the thing is, I've got to play on Vista because of a nasty bug...
(unless I play in software rendering)

So, on Vista movies won't play, because there is no Indeo 5.1 codec natively installed...
I've tried with the Vista Codec Package, and with single-packaged Indeo codecs, but unsuccessfully.


edit: I'll try with the ir50_32.dll
more on this tomorrow!

Could there be a clearly explained step-by-step guide for dummies like me?
(and now I edit the rest as my idea would either give weird result in higher resolution, or need to be painfully handmade)

[twipley]

Yes, read my posts, and the corresponding help from miracle.flame
(use VirtualDub for the encoding, and Job Control > Process Directory)

I'm sorry to Necro post, but I have a pertinent question. When I try to save my file in VirtualDub, I get this message, despite the file only being open VirtualDub:
Unable to open file "C:\Program Files\Final Fantasy VII\Movies\opening.avi" for write: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Any suggestions?
