I couldn't even tell it didn't belong to an HD source. Maybe it's cause i just woke up, But still fantastic job :D
 
I suggest me and kramner do out own sets, he prefers blur, I prefer sharp.

Blurring something may get rid of more pixellation but you lose colour and you lose detail.  I don't personally feel that it is a good trade.   We can argue for days about this but in the end it isn't anyones fault, it is just what we are starting with is utter crap :(

On some videos there is more pixellation too, such as sephiroth at nibelheim and flames.   It seems the encoder they used for PSX was sh*t.
 
The TM20 codec wasn't exactly the creme of the crop.

That's why, though, we've got AC, CC, and Tech Demo clips  :lol:

They used that on the psx vids.  The psx vids are themselves encoded and poorly at 320*224....  so PC had a double compression hence being way worse than psx.
 
yeah FF7 videos for their day where very good on PSX (i bought it back in 1997 on the PSX and i played it for months) i was stuned by the incredible graphics, i hadnt seen anything like it before, up till then i had only Ridge Racer, Battle arena toshinden, Bust a move 2 and a few other really bad PSX games but then FF7 came along and belw me away, now i dont feel this way for many reasons but mostly its because if you compare to graphics to new games the old FF7 movies suck but at the time they seemed good, But that was on the PSX. the PC movies have always looked bad to me (then again i got the PC version some years later so it could have been because of that) and like titeguy3 said the TM20 codec is/was bad even in its day it wasnt that great.
And yea the encoder for the PSX version wasnt very good looking at it from now but for its day it was proberly state of the art but now old STR files are really bad.
 
Well, the reason the crap quality wasn't noticed earlier is because a TV shows the data differently (and they knew this when they made the format, they knew it would be reasonable enough for TV)....  it blends better and it will appear much better stretched than a PC monitor which is greater resolution at 800*600 than any normal pal or NTSC TV. pal=720*576 interlaced.

When it comes to PC the bare bare minimum these days is 800*600 to make it look good on high res monitors and 640*480 isn't terrible...

but 320*224 would never work on any monitor ever.
 
ok i have added audio this time but after i had uploaded it to youtube and to mediafire i noticed i had forgot to remove the letterbox before the end so i will have to go back and do that later, But the audio should be pretty much timed right to go with the video, the audio was taken from grimmy's HD opening and just reedited to fit with my opening (like rearranging the sound after the train goes past to make it fit with the shorter scene etc)

Also the videos below are the same as above and have the letterbox all the way through the video, I have uploaded both Xvid and MP4 versions (i uploaded both because MP4 seems to give slightly better quality but i added the Xvid ones since MP4 isnt supported yet in game). I also experimented with a blur on the video on the Blured with audio links to see what happens but to be honest i didnt see much difference (on the text where cloud speaks i could but the rest of the video was pretty much the same) but if anyones interested take a look and if your not just ignore them.

Not blured With audio (MP4=58mb and Xvid=30mb)

version mp4 not work  :? :? why?
 
Do you mean why doesnt it work in game with Aali's Driver ? or do you mean the MP4 doesnt work in your player ?
The reason it doesnt work with Aali's driver is because H264 (and varients such as X264 etc) support is broken (or was last time i checked but i havent tried the latest driver so i am not sure), Aali is aware of the problem but i believe he isnt currently working on support for it since its a problem that very few people are having and to be honest i dont blame him since there is proberly far more important things to work on then support for 1 video format.
And if you ment it doesnt work in whatever player your trying yopu should make sure you can play H264 video with that player and you have the H264 codec installed.
 
i have installed aali's drivers  :-(  i have proved video in vlc mediaplayer and mediaplayer classic function 100% in game no, why?
 
well like i said MP4 doesnt work with or without Aali's driver. As it currently is MP4 isnt support thats why i uploaded both Xvid and MP4. Hopefully (with any luck) the problem will be fixed in the future but as it stands there is currently no way to get MP4 working in game
(well actually this is a lie it can work if you use 0.5 driver if the MP4 doesnt have AAC audio so for example if the MP4 used PCM audio instead it would work with Aali's Driver version 0.5,0.6,0.6.1 or 0.6.2 but after version 0.6.2 H264 video will not work)
 
version xvid not fuction correctly, audio is not synchronized and video not fluid
 
sarbatur i have just rechecked the videos and the xvid ones seem to work fine for me both in game and in WMP and Media Player Classic. Have you tried playing it in a player to see if you get different results from playing it in FF7 ? And also did grimmy's video on the first page of this thread work alright for you ?
 
i have played in WMP and Media Player Classic and function 100% in game not work :(
 
strange I have asked a few other people and they aint having problems, It may be somthing else. Do the ones by grimmy work fine for you on page 1 of this thread ?
 
Yeah I wanna know too.. :-D


Coz I'm thinking Grimmy could use the rolling end credits of FFVII AC in game.. I used the music though ( CALLING.mp3 )..Jap Rock!!!YEAHHH!!!
