I never tried the FF10/X-2 one, but there's a DQ8 uh..thing now that lets you play them on your computer, but I don't know how to get it to work.

The site is:

http://www.project-fao.org/

It still has the FF10 one, but there's a DQ8 one as well. I don't know if I have to use that PSS Player thing in conjunction or what..so if anyone that got the FF10 ones to work, any help?

Thanks!

 

[Greenpanda]

Yikes, I didn't even realize DQ VIII *had* FMV

 

[Red Scarlet]

Yeah, I'm wondering what it counts. It looks like it found 38...something. But I'm not sure how to get it to actually do anything.

Well, if you choose the first option and leave it alone..it looks like it goes through the .mvi files.

 

[Raw64life]

Yea. I just beat DQ8 a couple of hours ago and I don't recall any FMV period in the whole game. Maybe it's just the end credits 38 times? Or a bunch of cutscenes?

 

[Red Scarlet]

Probably cutscenes like when you get the ship are what I'm thinking. But screencap possibilities!

This isn't the thing that extracts character models, is it?

 

[Red Scarlet]

I have no clue.

Nothing happened when it went through the 38 .mvi files.

 

[Uncle Dukey]

Dragon Quest 8 definately has FMV.. The intro credit sequence for example. All of the FMV uses ingame assets so they look like regular gameplay, but you'll see compression artifacts (blocks) when it's playing video..

 

[Red Scarlet]

Hmm it put those files on my desktop as .PSS files..but that PSS Player thing doesn't do a damn thing with them. slkfasdarsdas

That would be awesome. I'd streak in public for a dancing devil avatar.

 

[Red Scarlet]

The guy that recorded my animations said he'd make a Dancing Devil (red one doing the sultry? dance or whatever) animation and a Hero dancing one..haven't gotten them yet though.

I don't want them, but I remembered some people here did..I'll hook you up if that is what you wanted once I get them.

PSS Player doesn't do shit. :/

 

[Raw64life]

Haha yea. I was one of the people that asked about the Dancing Devil a while ago in the official DQ8 thread. Wouldn't care if it was a Tap Devil or Caped Caperer they're all the same thing pretty much.

Still no clue about the thing on that site. Seems like they have a forum though. Maybe someone proficient in Japspeak could go to their forum and ask about it?

I'd love an avatar of any troll licking his club.

Part of the korean translation revealed this.

The PSS_Player" khwim?"tes" "the PSS_demux" khwim awareness it will suck

 

[Red Scarlet]

Okay..lol.

I'll have to ask him Speevy when I see him on irc again.

For FF X, the output files are .m2v, .wav and .ac3. (except the ending, which does not have an .ac3 file).

You can simply use Media Player Classic to play them, but you need to set the aspect ratio to 4:3 to play at the correct aspect ratio.

For DQ8 PSS files, run PSS Demux, drag the file to PSS Demux and 2 files will be created (.m2v and .wav), you can play it the same way.

 

[Red Scarlet]

What about the DQ8 ones? Don't really care about the FF10 ones atm...


Hmmm, getting closer...after using that DQ8tomov thing and it made those .PSS files on desktop, that PSS_demux thing converted it into a pcm file and a video type file that tries to play in Winamp 5 (gross) but the video is motionless.

 

[maskrider]

You replied before my edit, ha ha !

The ones with _W are wide screen, set aspect ratio to 16:9 to play them correctly.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Well, the converted files from that PSS_demux will play in virtualdubmod..now to figure out how to cap from those!

Media Player Classic is easier for you, there is even a "Save Image" action in the File menu

[Red Scarlet]

Alright, figured it out in VirtualDubMod. woo!

Thanks!

 

[Red Scarlet]

Beh, half of them involve the panther.

I got 1 av though.

While we're on the topic of extracting things from games, does anyone know if it's possible to extract models from Xenosaga and make use of them (like with the Garry's Mod/DOA thing a while ago)?

 

[Red Scarlet]

Woooo.

That site has Xenosaga 2..don't see 1.

 

[CO_Andy]

Woah, nice site. I'll have to chek out some of these tools.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Apparently, they only work with the Japense versions of the games. I couldn't get it to work with the US DQ8 (some error thing would come up), so the other games may be like that too.

I *do* have the JP version of FF10 (international) and X-2 though, but I doubt many people without capture cards probably want many things from either of those games.

I just rented Grandia 3 US and tried the movie ripper with the US version. No good. How do these things tell if its the right disc, maybe theres a way to fool it.

What exactly did you do to get the DG8tomov to work?
Are you using the US version of DQ8?

Every time I try it I get nothing.
I did some reading and the MVI files on the DQ8 disk are either an old form of Mpeg or they are some type of AutoCad file.

I want something to rip the fmv from DDS 1 and 2

 

[Link1110]

Most likely the japanese version. The Grandia 3 one works fine on the japanese version, but not the US version.

I've tried many programs to get the Grandia 3 fmvs to play, is there any other one that works. The closest I've gotten is in DkZ Studio where it can play the video but not the audio. Cube Media Player doesn't work (Though for those of you trying to play dq8 fmvs, theres a plugin for that for dq8.)

 

[Red Scarlet]

I couldn't get it to work with the US version of DQ8, only the Japanese version.

I just now looked back there, and they have an FF12 movie ripper thing..new av time!

For DQ8 PSS files, run PSS Demux, drag the file to PSS Demux and 2 files will be created (.m2v and .wav), you can play it the same way.

I downloaded DQ8tomov and PSS Demux today, tried using them, no luck. So I searched for a thread like this, thankfully you guys have used these progs before.

This does not work. Every time I drag and drop the MVI file into PSS Demux 1.05, it says "not a pss file." And as for DQ8tomov I have no idea what it says. I have the US version of DQ8 of course. Has anyone had luck or know of another way?

Also, I ripped FFX m2v's and wav's, and I'm trying to multiplex them with bbmpeg. It will create the mpeg but the audio isn't there, no matter what I do!
