Actually, I'm glad this was bumped - I had forgotten to complete things. ;)

I'll get to the FS1 movies over the weekend; what's been done with the FS2 movies, anything?

Someone not a million miles distant from this post converted all the FS2 movies and uploaded them to Fractux's server :D

Feel free to try converting the intro though. The one I converted had a couple of audio glitches at the start and end.

I'll have to see about getting my brother to try it - he has a few dozen GB free. :)

Fair enough. :) You'll need 4.2 gigs free for the Intro. If you get the same glitch as I did you get an audio spike (don't know the correct term) at the start and a little noise right at the end.

Oh YES! Damn, it's nice to see the Hallway Battle again...  Pity about the jerky audio, but that's probably down to two things: converting the video with programs running in the background, and a 1.5Gb file size.

Doesn't Windows XP have a built-in tool for compressing video files?  I can't find it anywhere...

Look for Virtual Dub.

It isn't in windows, but it's out to solve your video conversion problems, moreover it's free.

:wtf:  I converted the hallfight anim, and there was no jerky audio. Are you using the one that was DLed from the link on here? Or are you doing your own version?

Dug out my FS CDs and did the conversion myself.  Thing is, I had my internet connection, Trillian, and four IE6 instances running in the background.  The video ran fine during the conversion, but when I played back the 1.5Gb AVI, the image and audio was jerky at some points.

Is there a tool to convert Descent 2's MVL files?  PM23 doesn't work, and neigther does FSP.

Ahhh... you can't really run those humongous videos smoothly with any of today's computers, I'd guess... not unless it was a super-top-of-the-line rig, anyway. Or maybe not. Anyway, I can't run the big AVI's smoothly, I need to reencode them down with Divx (v5) and MP3 audio before I can play them as AVI's. I use VirtualDub. And IIRC< I posted the settings that got me the best size/quality ratio somewhere towards the beginning of the thread...

I thought all the movies on Silent Threat were already avi files? I guess I need to look at FS1 a little more often :D

If you rename your avi,mpg, divx whatever to be mve and put it in the root of freespace then this exe

http://mysite.freeserve.com/thomaswhittaker/c_code/freespace/fs2_open_r.rar

should detect what it really is and play it. The intro wont play when you go in for some reason but it seems to work nicely in the techroom and hopefully between levels.

Im currently trying to check this code in but I've not got write access at the moment. :sigh:

Huh? I've been using one of Phreaks builds for a while now and it used to play intro.avi every time I started the game. Maybe it doesn't play cause you renamed the file?

Instead of renaming the files maybe if you leave them as .avi and play the campaign using

this edited version of the campaign file the intro will work?
