[Release] New Aeris/Aerith Death scene (video)

[ShadowzI]

By "black bars" I meant the Letterbox top and bottom black bars, not a graphics problem.

oh sorry.
In that case I'm not too sure.  It's probably because of the resolution of the video...
iI have a wide screen monitors so iI haven't notice the issue.
Do you have any other custom videos that show the letterbox border?

 

[Mirrorman95]

No, that was it. They're only there because they're there in the original FeraNelia video.

 

[ShadowzI]

Okay iI think iI can fiddle with that around.
I'll re upload another one soon.

Please do! I'm using a 32'' Tv screen and have the same issue! I wish we could watch full hd maybe after QGears is complete...Thanks!

I've compressed it better and shot up the resolution ;D. I don't notice any drop in quality but..
Someone want to test it before I go will nilly with the larger file?

technical issues again... brb

Ok I will Send me any files you want me to test. And the save to Aeris Death. I was interested in the intro video too... You should release both qualities so as users have options...Thanks!

So I was able to get rid of the blackbar from the video itself... but this does not get rid of it when it is being played on the actual game.
Reason being simple. The video is a wide screen format and the game runs at a 4:3 format.
As of now there are 3 options.
Skew (squeeze) the video into a 4:3 format (will be slightly distorted)
Crop out the wide screen part (cuts out some graphics)
and the hardest Crop out the wide screen but use a pan effect that shifts left and right depending on the movie.

Or... wait till I have (or someone else) has an ingenious solution.

On another note, I've found a way to compress the death video better. Will be up on the front soon.

Note that there will be a black border on the bottom of the screen anyway because this is how the game was made at first place...

In my videos I encoded in 1280x960 25fps H.264/mpeg-4 AVC, sound AC3-Dolby AC3 320 kbit/s 48000HZ which works great for my system but I noticed that sound/video do not sync well in a friend's older ATI graphics card... I'm thinking of re-encoding in 15 fps since you noted that. Thanks!

P.S.: I'm looking forward for your intro too!
