I would like to extract all the outstanding FMVs from FF 7-9 on my PC so I can watch them without actually playing the game.
Now, I downloaded PSX Multi Converter and when I start it everything works fine: The *.STR files on the disc are detected and I can convert them into AVI format on my Harddisc.
However, when I try to watch the files (using W. Media Player) the screen stays black and I can only here the sound.
I guess it must be a problem with the video codec but I can’t figure out why (because all the codecs ARE installed) and how to make it work.
Even more confusing: The same thing happens when I hit the ‘no compressor’ (uncompressed AVI format) option, so on the other hand, it might be the application that does not work right.(???)
Also, if anyone knows another/better application which allows me to extract FMVs I would be glad to hear it.
Would be nice if you could help me out on this one!
Many Thanks!
…and i didn’t have any problems at all. i didn’t use windows media player though. i used both power dvd and windows movie maker to watch it, because my windows media player isn’t working well.
i bet you have problems with your windows media player. i think. try using power dvd.
In your case however rayden, your problem sounds like an issue with Media Player (probably caused by a codec fault), so compressing the file into MPEG would probably help (use a free MPEG compressor program – do a Google search as there are a number of free ones available).
Thanks your help! 😎
