Jade empire large mutha

[MrCaine01]

The only way I have even heard of it being made small enough to fit onto a dvd-r was from a firend of mine who completely downsized every movie in it. You can tell too as in a lot of the cinemas are blocky as hell.

I deleted all the movies and of course the game works but.....what's the point really. I have not heard of anyone getting this done except for the downsizing thing also and again.......the clips are horrible

i own the german version - which has no other languages - and needed to downsample every movie to fit in on 4,37 - but it is s*it if you say it "looks horrible" and is "not watchable" etc... i had to go down to 40% vid quality, a bit blocky in fast scenes, but looks not as bad as you say. the only problem: it takes sooooooooooo f*king long to downsample the vids... took me three days.

I think there are some demos and unused movies you can remove from the disc.
Downsampling will also be needed in order to do it.

Here is a nice little "guide" on how to fit JE on a DVD5
JE DVD5

[bierhuettl]

on other versions than the german one there are a demo and multilanguage files - but you can't fit the movie on dvd5 without removing or downsampling video files. also removing "unused" videos - videos that are not that important for the story like all the vids when your plane starts flying - does not save enough space to fit the game on dvd5. better downsample all **** and miss nothing.

as in your tut on xbox-scene you posted: removing the attract and credits is NOT enough to get the game on dvd5! do as the one guy in a reply also said: downsample to 40%, it fits.

make sure to use the following settings with RADtools ( www.radgametools.com )

overall data rate settings: compress to a % of original *use percentage 40 here*
keep peak data rate under a 3.0

compress audio (highlighted): compress level 104
sound format 16bit stereo (important, otherwise you get no audio)

i noticed that the method one guy stated by using scaling of 2x with and height doubled goes a little lot faster than "no scaling" - about two times faster - won't understand that, but also looks more blocky, tried it with the first some mins of the credit movie of jade empire - font is really washed out with 2x size... but who cares how it looks, quality will **** up a little anyway, makes it go faster, why not. if i had known i'd have also used that method
