Title: FF7 FMV problem
Post by: Enacra on 2006-12-16 21:00:26

I don't think I've seen anyone with this problem yet. My movies are playing too fast...at least 5 times faster than normal speed. Now I'm totally stuck in Cosmo Canyon's observatory.  :-(

System specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB RAM
GeForce 7900 GTO
Windows XP Pro SP2

Uff..what a nasty problem! Have you tried this?

 TrueMotion codec (http://fem1.uniag.sk/Miroslav.Jezik/ff7/TrueMotion_codec.zip)

Maybe it would help.

Otherwise you may want to use Gypt patch from dziugo to help you skip problematic cutscenes.

I've already used that package of patches. The TrueMotion codec fixed my upside-down problem, but they were still going blazing fast (just the picture). In case this is a codec-related problem, I'm going to give that K-Lite thing a try, and see if it does anything.  :|

I do have dziugo's patch that lets me skip cutscenes, but I can't skip the observatory scene because, like the Gondola scene, it involves text, and skipping it (or in my current case, finishing the video too quickly) will cause Cloud to become "lost".

I'm trying out K-Lite codec pack, and so far, it's letting me play the movie files outside of the game at normal speed, but gives me a black screen as soon as I run the game (since there's a scene with the EIDOS logo), and my whole system stops responding. Reinstalling TrueMotion codec and then disabling TrueMotion handling in ffdshow configs allowed it to work, but I'm back to the original problem...which is super-fast FMV's.

Try the old Gypt (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=4505.0).
It was created specifically to skip those problematic scenes.

Thank you. That worked. It skipped the whole scene and allowed me to move on.  :-)

That's a really strange and rare behavior of TrueMotion decoder you have there on your comp.
Be sure to post a solution if you by any chance find a real answer to this fast-videos problem.
