well first even if i did invite seifer back i doubt he would come, And second i dont really see why 2 people cant work on this and seifer is doing 1280x896 and he is using video enhancer to resize the videos but this also makes them quite big and you said you was planning on doing it at around 3x which will make them smaller in res but also in filesize and memory usage (some people with old PC's can't handle 1280x896 so smaller might be better for them as well), And third Seifer is like you said a perfectionist which is a good thing but it also means he will take his time making sure its perfect before he releases which would proberly take a long time and he is also working on lots of other projects which will proberly also slow down his progress on this.
 
Ill post one up hopefully by tonight


EDIT

Having trouble converting all of them for some reason... almost half fail.

My guessing is that 2x: 640x448 will have the best results.
The scaling+sharpening wont look bad and with modern codecs it will be possible to keep the files around the same size as the original ones.

A lossless codec is not exactly needed, probably something like xvid with 10% loss will make it look as good as the lossless one to the eye\human perception.

Next thing to do... ask Aali to please try and see if he can center the videos on the screen\window, so that the "bar of nothingness" is split into two making it look even better! :D

Going with 960x720.

I'm trying to rip the sephiroth scene from Advent Children Complete, I'm just having a lot of trouble doing so.
 
960x672 you mean? or can it play fullscreen without it sucking?

I don't know.  I'm hoping that if I make it a 4:3 that it won't leave the black bars at the top and bottom.
 
That'll wreck the alignment in cases where the 3D engine is overlaid above the FMV, such as the intro where it zooms in on the shinra guards, or the Junon elevator.
 
Well it's a good thing I've made almost no progress ripping this Sephiroth scene then.  Also, it's 2am now so I'm giving up for now and going to sleep
 
Double Post.   1280x896 should be fine.  I wanted to do about 720 height but 672 seems too low.   The first 2 second video should be done shortly.
 
Don't try applying it in game though.. or if you do want to, use SUPER, change it to AVI / H264 / MP3, 7008 for the bitrate, and change the resolution to 960x896 and 15fps and it will play just fine.  Now to ask Aali if he can implement a way for videos with higher FPS than 15... the difference in quality is highly noticeable.

@obesebear Nice video's.
it is possible to get 23.97fps on a xvid video but currently seems impossible in H264. (although this also only seems to apply upto 3x, After 3x it seems to do the same as h264)
here is your flame video in 960x672, Xvid 2quantizer, your source audio and working in-game.

(just rename it to make it work in-game)
 
That's a pretty good quality, I just want it a little more high res you know? 

What's nice is the one that I made 1280X896, I was able to force to be 16:9 so it keeps it fullscreen on my computer  :)   No black bars at all.   But if there's nothing Aali can do about the higher resolution and fps, we can definitely go with xvid at 3x and 23.97.  It looks much better than the trashy 15fps!


Any tips you might have for making the existing videos look better?

There's about half a billion filters though, that's the problem.  I'm almost tempted to just let Seifer finish his work on this at his forums, and I'll just work on the Advent Children Complete videos.

By the way.  I remembered that Crisis Core has the NIVLSFS video too, so I instead muxed together that audio with the video from ACC.  It sounds much better now.  Still waiting on Aali about the fps though.

I'd like to do the Crisis Core videos too, but I still have no idea what I'm doing with the filters.

Kranmer, can you find out exactly what Seifer/Daniel is doing to enhance them?  You can also let him know his buddy Hermoor has been allowed to stay here, so maybe he will decide to reregister.
 
well the video i uploaded was meant to be just to show that 23.98fps works i wasn't meaning it to be anything else,
And that was as high res as i could get, for some reason if i go upto even 1024 it starts to drop FPS and audio.
Well from what i remember Seifer was using VideoEnhancer on the original PSX movie to upscale it then processing it with Sony Vegas and apply whatever filter in vegas that he though was nessacery for that movie (for example he used a gaussian blur on the opening but not on the other scenes).
I on the otherhand i used photoshop and a smart blur filter and batch processed all the frames of the video, But this didnt really pan out since it took hours to do even a small video.
I will experiment more with the flame video to see if i can get it to run at a higher res while keeping FPS but so far i am not having much luck,
I have tried
MeGUI,Super,VirtualDub,VLC,Vreveal,Any Video Converter Free,avanti,ffe,TMPGEnc 2.5 Free
and a bunch of others but they all seem to encounter the same FPS drops when the video is over 960x672 in size,
i wonder if this is a restriction on Aali's driver or on the player he has implimented or maybe i am just doing somthing wrong.
 
I'm fairly sure it is something to do with the player he is using.  I believe he mentioned before that he is using one that is a little older.  If he can't fix it though, going the route of smaller videos with more fps is the best option.  At least the video won't be jumpy.


Sorry for lack of any update today.  I've been doing my best to get any applicable Crisis Core videos.  Hopefully I'll be done weeding through them by tonight.
