I'm using the Japanese versions, but it's the same in all.  I am not even sure whether the 2012 versions were using compressed 320*224...  there are parts that look to perfect on those versions.  Maybe someone was just better at cleaning them than me tho... although 90% of the time, mine should be better because they retain more detail.

The ending movie is rendered.  Parts look better than Steam, parts look worse.  At least colour and sound are better as well.

Nothing more I can do with that disaster.  ;D  I'll upload them tomorrow.  Maybe need to torrent the two movies as part of the Retranslation project,
 

It's gonna have to do, people.  I am happy with the colour, sound, localization and overall quality.  From what it started with, it's a big plus.
 
You only need to mirror that scene:

I have no idea why they mirrored Cloud there.
 
If you mirror the scene to fix Cloud, it fucks up Barrett's gun arm.
 
Can you see which of Barret's arm has the gun or not? The tattoo is nearly invisible now, so you can safely mirror the scene from 5:41 to 5:43.
 
I ain't mirroring it :p  No matter what.  It's been rendered, it's how the silly original is, and it takes a lot of time to render and complete each one.  ;D So no can do.
 
And very finally...

the torrent.  When downloaded, I would appreciate people seeding for a while... or indefinitely...  and maybe some proper mirrors of this too?

I may not be here for another 14 or so hours, so leave the torrent downloading, and when I get back, it will resume.  I'll leave comp on a bit tonight too.

And seeding!

Now to wait for R02 (ah, no rush intended. I love this project and can't fathom the immense amount of work you've put into it Dan, thank you so much!)
 
Ok, sorry people.  I've redone the Jenova one, a final time.  Worked out a new method, because these Toshiba DVD videos are totally broken to begin with.  The result is more detail, but also slightly more jaggedness in some areas.

New and final FMV torrent for Beacause here:

Please seed, (that means leave it in your torrent software, with your torrent software running, when download is complete.  A minimum of 3 days would be good.)and hopefully someone can upload these somewhere so I can have a non torrent mirror?

Toshiba DVD videos

Toshiba DVDs? This has probably been said somewhere, but what source is that? I was also curious how the Playstation versions compare - if you loaded the game up into an emulator and captured them, say.
 
That'd be these. Generally higher quality, but with interlacing, some compression issues, fucky edges, and severe color problems. For the most part unusable without severe editing, though much of it can be edited together with the original FMVs to create something mostly seamless.
 
You would get worse results recording from an emulator than using the dedicated movie ripping program "jpsxdec". 

When using jpsxdec, you are still at the mercy of the low resolution PSX versions (320*224), which also used a crappy codec that left a ton of noise and compression artifacts.  Seriously, it's REALLY bad.  So bad, it hurts.

The Toshiba DVD has its own thread around here somewhere on Qhimms.  The videos on it (incomplete list) are from a higher resolution render  (640*448).  Unfortunately, the DVD uses interlacing, and has introduced other nasty artifacts.  But even through this, the result is far better than the PSX versions once they are cleaned up, and the awful colour has been corrected. 

It's a tiny glimpse of what might have been.

If Square had bothered to think forward, they would have backed all their data up, and rendered everything in a few resolutions.  They didn't.  Once FF7 was complete, they basically just dismantled everything and then years later said "shit."

Thanks, both of you! That's very interesting :)

The clips actually appear to have a resolution of 640x192, which seems really odd. I wonder if they're meant to be interlaced as well? Might try an AVISynth script just to see how it looks. The compression artifacts are really bad though, like you say.

Edit: Hmm, I think the horizontal resolution may just be doubled for some reason.

Only the "widescreen" movies (Ending 1 2 and 3) have that resolution, and the correct Resolution, when stretched, is 640*304 (at least ending2 is). But that's not including the black bar.

Every other video is 320*224.

The reason for that is 640*192 is a smaller size to fit on the disc.  If they had the space, they would have used a full resolution for it.  Stretching vertically means even more problems.
