I've decided to keep these vids as is, although I will add an ending1 soon. Also expect a HQ release for use with Aali's custom driver in the next two weeks.

On another note, I've got a question. Since the scene with Zack in the truck isn't a movie it seems impossible to replace, but is there any way? No matter how difficult. Couldn't we edit the game in such a way that when it looks for the normal scene it is redirected to a new video and then when it's done sent to the ending of the scene. any help would be appreciated.
 
FINALLY started testing your videos haha. on bug to report (though i think it's on my end)

the audio for the movies, they are skipping and laggy. Any idea why that might be?

And i hope you release your high quality ones soon, can't wait! :-D
 
True I'm working on all the ones already released plus a few more, But they are so big it takes longer to process them.
I really don't know about the bug, I don't experience it, however you could download super for free and reencode them with a different setting. I used Avi with Xvid and mp3.
 
Grimmy307,

I went ahead and downloaded and converted Clover27's "FFVII Remake - Opening Credits and Start Menu" from youtube and replaced the opening Eidos fmv with it.  I'm hoping to contact him and see if he wouldn't mind sending me a higher quality version and allow me to distribute it alongside yours.

My question to you is, once you're done, would you like to make a torrent out of all of these for easier/quicker distribution?  I have a feeling the more Aali gets his driver improving, the more people are going to want your fmvs.

Fixed the issue, i guess anyway, enabled AA and AF all to as high as i can could it, and suddenly they worked no skipping or anything haha.
 
I noticed you have added new opening in HD, but not the others. I understand that you will be simply adding them one-by-one with time after you process them, right?
 
Obesebear: Did you leave all the Menu at the end or cut it of? I was going to contact clover also, I have the HQ vid already and the size is  1280x720. Quality is good. I also got permission to use this for Aerith's Death
I have already been sent the original video and croped of the Script.  I'm going to try and get permission for this
. Working together sounds good. PM me a link and we'll get it at the top. not to sure about torrenting these as a package though.

Aurenasek116: I'll lump shorter vids together, but ya pretty much one by one

Great project ! Now, you can use FINAL FANTASY VII Advent Children Complete REMAKE SCENE like the end of FF VII, the meteor fall, or Things lke that
 
I was actually thinking of ripping some scenes from ACC and uploading them for grimmy, since I have the bluray so surely we could benefit from Full HD 1080p scenes with DTS audio.

Well both of Aerith's Death and the ending are definitely good, they still need some touching up though.  Cloud's face has blood on it sometimes, sometimes it doesn't, and in the ending scene there is a shot of Sephiroth's lifestream engulfing Shinra tower.  Anyways I'm still waiting to hear back from Clover, but I'm curious, how did you manage to get 1280x720? The video I ripped was only 480x360 so I used "Super" to make it 640x480 ( the quality just isn't quite what I would like though).

About Clover's opening.  I remember seeing quite a while back that someone had edited the New Game/Continue screen.  I'm going to try to find that thread and edit it to look like Clover's ending.  Not quite sure how tough that will be though.
 
ok this sounds REAALLY cool! i wanna know how to make this work! is this possible on vista since vista dont like alot of patches/mods?

Yes it works in Vista i know how to go it in 32 but i don't know about 64, first you need Aali's graphics driver: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/5456/

get that set up (refer to the read me on how to do that)

then you need to hit start and in the search bar type "regedit" hit enter, when the window opens up navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Square Soft, Inc. > Final Fantasy VII

WARNING!: DO NOT mess with anything else in there, Or you can mess up your system.

In the movies string right click and modify it to your folder where you want to put your movies (you have to copy the originals off the disc as well by highlighting them all and dragging them to your folder) example mine is C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\Movies\
Note the "\" at the end of movies, MAKE SURE you have that. Otherwise it wont work.

Grimmy, You might want to add this info to your download page, Or in the read me, For newer people cause i've said this twice, Not that i mid of course  :-)
 
Hellbringer : The Info to run movies from the HDD is linked on otokoshi's thread. So I felt it redundant to put it on mine, but I might latter when I put up the rest of the HQ vids.

drfeelgud : I run Vista 32 and the only thing to remember is to run everything as an admin and check that all modded files end up in real folders not the virtual store/compatibility files. when everything is done I'll add a good read me.

obesebear : I use HTTP watch to record my browsers requests go to the video, and click on HQ button. Then go to the HTTP window Find the MP4 file, right click select copy row, paste into address bar press enter. Then the down load starts. It sounds harder than it is. IF you have clovers ok I can put up the vid with the rest this afternoon. Menu screens are easy to change but have lots of limitations. I made one using APZ buster sword pic that's good, but if you put the image full screen it covers the new game/continue text. so it has to be cut around that. I'm pretty sure animations are impossible.

Grimmy, I don't know if you noticed my pm reply so I'm going to write here.
Tell me what exact scenes from ACC do you need so I can cut them out and hopefully upload.
 
i was meaning to ask that... i have a 64 bit operating system... ok, here's the question... wut is the compatibility files folder? i see some files there and i just leave them alone it has my saved games in there too
 
If you see compatibility files as an icon, you should click it then select all, copy, go back to the real folder and paste. You could now delete the compatibility folders contents if you wish. All that folder does is give you access to the virtual store, which is where vista puts things that are installed without admin approval. From what I hear windows 7 has eliminated this because it has caused so many problems.

Edit:  Added higher quality vids to main post.
