Movie Extraction

[Cyber Akuma]

Does anybody know of any movie file extractors/enoders for these games?

Or at least can give me info on these formats, or possibly how to make my own extractor.

Guilty Gear XX - Uses a .PAK format, not too sure what it means, never seen this format before.

Metal Gear Solid 2 - MUNGE format

Zone of the Enders 2 - MUNGE format

Kingdom Hearts - Hides the files from explorer, just like FFX

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I believe that the Metal Gear Solid 2 (SoL) "movies" you are asking about are actually in-game rendered cutscenes (for lack of better terms). Meaning that they arent actually movies to speak and u wont be able to rip them, a capture card would be your only chance.

Btw, im actually 100% sure they are in-game rendered due to the replay theatre that u can unlock, as u can choose which models to u use when u replay key scenes (cut-scene) from the game...play around with it, its actually quite funny to have the big fat woman doing acrobatic moves :P

as for teh other games, I have no idea

Thats not true, yes many of the scenes are in realtime, but there are movie scenes too. The fact that a movies.dat file exsists on the disk is proof of that. Konami seems to make all their games with movies in this format, Zoe1, Zoe2, MGS2, name it. Its likely to prevent exactly what I am trying to do, to extract the movies and encode them so I can watch them on my computer (the fact that they are really one big file with many .pss files in it is proof of that).

I am pretty much interested in encoding the intro, and you have to admit there is no way THAT can be real-time.

Soooo......... anyone? Please?

Scroll down I made a thread about this where a few programs were posted and how to extract ffx, which might also let you get kingdom hearts.

You can't use FFX movie extractor for kingdom hearts.
I used "MGS2 movie.dat tool" and it convert movie.dat to several PSS files,but when I want demultiplex these pss files with pssplex I get error :(

[Cyber Akuma]

I know this is kinda stupid but I want to try the MGS2 tool anyway, where did you get it?

[khafan]

you can get this tool from alucard.cc , here is the link

Thanks, ill try it and tell you if I was successful.

Anyone have any ideas on the others?

[Cyber Akuma]

Sooooo, anyone ELSE have any useful information or ideas or websites?

As far as i found there a few programs that *claim* to work. Who knows tho unless you test them! There is 1 big program that does work, however its developed by the japaneese and its website and program and everything is all in japaneese so its useless to me as I speak only english. You can find their website by searching on google for ps2 movie extractor or somit along those lines.

Megagames has 2 programs that as I said above *claim* to work so your welcome to go test them out.

[Cyber Akuma]

As far as I know, those are only for PSS files, the movies I stated arent in PSS format.

[Cyber Akuma]

Guess I have a 5th game to add to the list........... zone of the enders 1

I had a file extractor that I thaught would work, it extracted all the PSS files, and PSSPLEX was even able to deplex them, but the deplexed movie files would hang or crash any player I tried to use them in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Is there ANY way to extract/play movies other then the ones that are already in .pss format on the gamedisk?

[Cyber Akuma]

Bump

Hopefully somebody will have something new to add by now

[Cyber Akuma]

Sigh, Bump Again

I posted a website where there is a guy who does do movie ripping(tho its not really ripping its more like capture card and converting). I posted a website and some other stuff... anyways just look for a post by me to do with the xeno movies. I downloaded all 5gigs of xenosaga movies and its awesome I managed to put them on a dvd with chapters and the such and its like watching the game now. btw the whole thing is like 1 hour 15 mins so its pretty cool

[Cyber Akuma]

I want to rip them from the actual movie files, I dont want to use a capture card. Not only will there be much much less quality loss if I dont use a capture card, but my capture card is already very very loq quality and crashes my computer, and I am not willing to pay $200 to buy a high quality one. Plus I would have to get the game ready to that exact point I want the movie to play. I would really prefer to rip movies from the actual movie files on the disk instead of capturing them.

Also, I cant find that link anywhere, can you please post it?

It is near impossible to develop a program to rip ps2 games, the reason is is that its not like PSX where developers have to use only ONE format to encode movies. With ps2 they have tons of options to do it so determinning which video type is on a dvd is a pain in the ass and ripping it is near impossible. Eventually in maybe a year or 2 a rogue coder might sit down and try and crack it but until then capture cards are the only way. And btw the Xenosaga movies i have are great Quality send me your e-mail in a PM and i will send you a few SS so you can see for yourself.

Thats bad news, is there ANY group/program/anything you know of being worked on, or even a FAQ, about these movies?
