I really should have added a registry editor to that installer...

oooooh well.
 
This is what it's set to now, dash at the end present

"X:\Laptop\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\Data\Movies\"
 
Assuming that is where the movies are and that path is 100% correct it should work.
 
If I put the original movies back in there, they all work ingame.
I suspect some kind of codec issue, but standalone players work without problems so I'm out of ideas.
 
I'd be willing to bet that Aali's driver is not installed correctly, as it should be able to play these without any external codecs.

Please post your APP.LOG
 
Game is started, eidos logo plays, I interrupt it, menu shows up, new game is selected, black screen, alt+f4 after a while.

Go get Aali's driver and install it. Or if you have it already you did not install it properly.
 
Since you said you had it installed, the problem is that Aali's Driver is not working. Open up ff7config, go to the graphics tab, and choose "Custom Driver" from the drop-down menu. If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may need to run ff7config as an administrator.
 
you may need to run ff7config as an administrator.
Click to expand...
Somehow I was running config as non admin, UAC was popping up and asking for confirmation, so I thought it was requesting admin rights, also config said that the driver was working and I should edit the .cfg file.
Forcing it to run as admin did the trick, although nothing visibly changed.

Thanks for the help.

Hi !

I seem to have a problem with this mod :
Everything installed correctly, I can totally read your enhanced fmv's with a media player, and the path in regedit is correct (with a / at the end and everything)
I use the latest version of Aali's custom driver (0.7.10b if I remember correctly)

My problem is that, whenever a movie is read ingame, it's reaaaaally slow.
I can see that it's your enhanced fmv's that are read, I just don't know why it's so slow (it took me more than two minutes to watch the movie of the "cabin" to go to the glod saucer -_- )

Did I do something wrong ?
Do I have to set something special in FF7opengl.cfg ?
 
Hi. I'm new... Bought this game yeaaarz ago and could never get it to work. Now it is working really nice Since i found this forum few days ago.

This is the one mod I cannot get to work. Ive rebuilt ff7 5+ times now in last few days, but the videos will not run for me.

I suspect it is because I am on XP. Heres my App.txt:

that is the logo avi from this thread. with aali .7.9 itl play that same file, at about half speed, and then crash on the sqlogo file. the movies are sooo much better ;p please help me i want to incorporate them into the game ;p its keeping me up at night
 
you need version 0.7.10b of aali's driver to use these videos
also make sure your movie path in the registry is setup correctly to wherever your movies are located on the hard drive. That should do it.
 
/facepalm

i appreciate the response

from the APP.txt readout there u can see i was running aali's 7.10b and that it attempted to run a video at high res (the OP's eidoslogo) and crashed.

Turn of texture compression in aali's driver. 0.7.10b with texture compression and AMD cards do not play nicely.
 
yah, took me a little while to figure that out but, unfortunately it doesnt make these videos play in game ;(
i wonder if its a setting from opengl config or not. Somehow i suspect if i had windows 7 wouldnt be having this issue. If anyone with XP is able to use these FMVs please lemme know :p
 
newbie here, you guys do exellent work... anyway, ive downloaded the fmv files and the installer and ive installed them, but there appears to be no change in the cutscenes when I play ff7, I imagin ive got the folder in the wrong place or something, Ive got it in the ff7 directory, so if anyone could help me out id be much abliged.

thank you
 
that's an easy fix ;p need to run regedit and modify the movie path setting for the FF7 registry. The path is the place on your hard drive where you installed this movie pack, by default the game will play the avis off the CDs. You'll also find you need an eidoslogo.avi file in that directory since the pack doesnt actually come with one. if they work for you, im jealous, cus the quality is unbelievable compared to orig. I'm working on getting these files to play in game myself, no luck so far.
some of the files provided by Trojak in a different thread do work for me, including a nice opening.avi
anyway, good luck
