If you have the PC Version, you only need to select the files from the CD.

If you have the PSX Version, go to www.psxemu.com  under downloads/tools and get PSXPlay, or any other PSX Movie Player, and play the *.str files from the disc, or from HDD. No diffrence..

Note: I don't know whether you guys notice this or if the FF9 CDs are spoiled: The movie player can't play a single STR file!@!@! Or is that Square encodes it's movies in a special format??

Works on my PSX movie player. Not all of them can play FF9 movies though, so you do need to find one that supports it.

I use...um...the one which looks like Winamp...PSM Play? Cant remember, but it works fine with FF9 movies. Look for it on Zophar's domain.

Lol. I think it comes in a .zip file, right? You'll need something like   Winzip   to open it. Then extract the files to a folder and run the PSM Play EXE file.

EDIT: Hmmm, for some reason instead of writing and linking to Winzip i did it to Winamp. Eh?

Um, I dunno. So you analyzed that CD? Then you save the file? Then you opened the analyzed data file via the menu? If that didnt work then......uh, dont ask me!

I have had the same problem. I tried three or four different psx movie play utilities with both us (ntsc) and uk (pal) versions and... nothing. I don't know what's the problem but I just played the game and watched all the fmvs.
