I'd still like to know why I can't play these things out-of-game, even on software that should be able to, but oh well. They all look fantastic.

And I sort of suspect that the video-playback capabilities of the engine are a bit inferior to those of a traditional player, as I can handle 720p videos in general just fine on here yet had stuttering issues during the action-ish portions of Ancients 4 and Endgame.

@mjn.mixael
What's the bitrate of the ogg File and why the ogg format? In some Scenes i have lags, but normally my pc can play 30-40gig Blu Ray 1080 .avi or .mkv Files without any problems.

Add-On
Ok Sorry, i just installed a different version of the ogg direct show filter, now everything runs smooth even the 1080p Version.

If everyone else having problems playing the big ogg file, but normally HD Version aren't a problem for your machine, i recommended a updated filter

Now we need full Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS Track for the Cutscenes

Mixael, I would like to take a screenshot showing the exploding Lucifer and use it in a WIP INFASA presentation thread. Would you kindly give me the permission to do that?

[mjn.mixael]

Mobius: Sure go ahead.

Unless we can either get the vocals re-recorded or get them from   separate from the music.. it won't happen anytime soon. But I did have an emphasis in sound design in college... so it would be possible...

[Mobius]

Thank you. Now I need to get endgame.ogg DLed, its filesize is kind of ""...

[darkdaej]

What I'm REALLY looking forward to being completed is the Intro.

Intro is my favourite cutscene of all time, all games included, so obviously I'm waiting for this one with great anticipation!

Also, the Endgame part 1 from FS2 should be nice   Big Supernova explosion in 1920x1080p glory XD

[Nighteyes]

excellent work, I have some feedback:
the warp flare dosn't cover the Lucifer as its emerging from subspace, the flare is behind the ship...
the whole part where the Luci explodes could be much better IMO, I know you'r trying to keep it like the original, but stuff like all the small particles looks really bad... maybe use some form of fire effect on them instead of sphere particles?

[Galemp]

Anyone notice the slightly enhanced Ursa? With the chamfered edges and missile launchers and stuff? I did that! Go me!

[Kolgena]

I did!

Is it suitable for in-game usage as well?



Also, if we're going to nitpick, Nighteyes, I'd like to mention that a certain warp effect is missing from the Lucifer upon warpout. In the original, we have this odd glowy caustic effect on the surface of the hull as it just emerges from subspace. The effect is completely absent in the new cutscene, though it is quite hard to notice anyway.

[Galemp]

Ooh, this is true. I had forgotten about that but you're right, it's in Icey's and VA's Lucifer exit renderings.

[mjn.mixael]

I guess you could say it's in Icy's.. though it's barely noticeable.. I don't know what rendering you are talking about that VA did.

Also.. for that small little effect, we are talking hours of re-rendering time.

[mFuSE]

So.
Very.
Awesome.

can't say anything else, thanks so much! :-)



btw,
is there any possibility to get this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9soWW_haNbM&NR=1 - also in 720p? (Or @default ingame?)

Check the whole Ancients 4 cutscene that mjn.mixael posted.

Erm... I seem to have a problem, when I try to play the videos from the tech room, I just get a green or grey screen. How exactly do I fix this

[Galemp]

You need to be running a recent build of FS Open. Try 3.6.12 RC4, it's on the front page.

Unless you have a mac.  Then you're out of luck, because nobody has been able to provide us with updated OGG libraries for OSX.

Works now, thanks for the advice

[FreeSpaceFreak]

I don't know what rendering you are talking about that VA did.

Well, he started working on a Lucy-bombs-Earth cutscene once, to be used in case the player fails the last FSPort mission. The thread's here.

[TrashMan]

Why aren't these awesome cutscenes on YouTube?

[MatthTheGeek]

...'cause they are more awesome on ogg ?
