About downsampling ..

[Hitman]

Hi all,

I'm new here, i'me starting in ripping some of my DC games, but i've got an issue, it looks like i can't downsample .SFD files under Windows XP.
Is there a software that can manage this ?

Thanks guys

Use TMPGEnc or something else to demultiplex the SFD file into m1v and you'll get the audio stream with no extension, give it extension sfa. It will tell you the current bitrate of the video stream.

Then open m1v with VirtualDub and save as avi (use Huffyuv for compression) and then you can open that avi in DC Movie Creator and encode as you like (sfa will be automatically remuxed when you select it).

Don't ask me where to get these files, Google is your friend.

For whatever weird reason, DC Movie Creator encodes much much faster if you have Media Player open (no idea why).

OK thanks a lot for these infos i suppose DC Movie creator works with XP ?

It does indeed but as I said, it runs slowly unless you have media player open. It also occasionally crashes at the end of the encode sequence.

I can't install it , i got the error message : "Target system OS not supported"
