A question:
Should i be able to view the ff7.AVI files in the Windows media player?
Because whenever i try to open one of the avi files in the movie directory i only get a black screen in the mediaplayer ( this is for all the ff7 avi files, not only the boogstar.avi) The play indicater does move to the end and indicates it played 2 out of 2 seconds.
 
Yeah you definately should be able to watch the movies in Windows Media Player. I think you need the True Motion codec.
 
woudn't that be the:
DSH TM20 TrueMotion 2.0 Decompressor The Duck Corporation tm20dec.ax ?
Which is in my list of video codecs

Threesixty, did you have this same problem when your ff7 was crashing in those scenes?
 
No, it was because of Media Player that I found out that the sound timing was off....

When it was playing on Media Player, the timing was fine, but in the game, the weapon would scream when the movie was zooming in on Tifa, as she was falling on the deck of the Highwind. The scream of the weapon was delayed something like, well I can't remember. How ever many seconds that the movie shows the weapon screaming, and tifa falling....maybe 10 seconds or something. The game would freeze as soon as the scream started. I guess it was a DirectX problem.

But, I never had the Observatory problem...

Hey, that's wierd....we almost have the same number of posts.
 
jippy;
More blessings.
This time the game freezes when i am on a date.
After giving a great performance in the play i enter the gondola with Aeris.
After a few sentences the gondola windows turn black and after the next sentence all actions freeze ( except some blinking of eyes). Even if i would not mind getting stuck in a gondola on a date for a while i at some point would like to move on  :oops:
Anybody that knows a solution?
Does anybody know of similarity's between what happens at the gondola and at Cosmo Canyon which might help solve this .
If there is no known solution could someone please help me ( again ) by playing past this part?
The save game is uploaded at :
http://home.zonnet.nl/uffe1909/save02.ff72
( do not forget to remove the 2 at the end )
if someone could play past this part and send the new save to [email protected] my thanks will be countless
 
I have the same problem....

I also have every patch known to exist but to no effect im still stuck in cosmo send a file past there if you can...
 
Relf,
Wow,you must be real desperate, posting the same problem 5 times in different topics  :-? .
Since i can not play past this part myself, ill upload the save file threesixty fixed for me.
It includes the Yuffie character.
If you feel you desperately miss items, materia, etc use jenova to edit the save file.
You can get the file athttp://Http://home.zonnet.nl/uffe1909/save02.ff7.fixed
 
I was beyond desperate and had moved on to hysterics that no longer benifited the situation :evil:

Thanks!!  :D
 
Solved the problem by downloading a ff7 version of the net.
Copied the movies to my HD and ran the codec setup .
After that the movie played fine.
Since the movie files seem identical to the original this definitely seems to be a codec problem.
The setup included was different than the one on the cd so it might be the original didn't do a good install ?
 
Or it could be that the cause of the shooting star crash and the date crash is because there were a bad batch of Cd's released by Eidos. Probably a bad batch of Install Disks....from some obscure factory, that was released in every 500th package.

And if that's the case....no wonder, no one can find a solution.
 
well i own the game on psx. and am now trying it on pc.. ..  but it crashes for me wether i play it off the cd or play the downloaded version i have tried everything.. i dont even have the movies on the release im trying now beacuse i thought that might work... it didn't
 
Think it could possibly be to do with the TrueMotion codec. Haven't been back to Cosmo since I installed it, but went through the Gondola OK both in software and hardware modes
