The manual switch point (to switch to the second disc) was mentioned yesterday in this same forum! Use the search option to find all messages with the name "Grandia" and you should find it.

The instructions consisted of waiting until a certain event had occurred, do something specific and save the game. Then turn off the machine and boot the other disc & reload the game.

Details can be found by searching for the message that someone posted about it.

You must manually swap CD's in this rip. After defeating Valmar's
Body, You take off in the Granasaber to St. Heim Holy City.
You must visit the Inn in St. Heim Holy City, Save your game, and
power off CD1. Then load up CD2, load up your saved game, and
continue play. Please note that this CD swap is MANDATORY to
progress through the game. If you do not swap CD's at this point,
you will face freeze(s) later in the game.

unfortunately what is written on the cover of the cd's (what echolon said) is not presise.
if you did swap cd's at that state they said the
game will freeze because it still search for fmv's
but its not found on the disk of course then it freezes .
you have to continue with the cd1.
before going inside the room that contains zera and elena on valmar moon
you must save the game and insert cd 2 then go inside the room and fight the beast.
missed movies
1- valmars moon revival after melinia pops out of elena in the room with zera
on valmars moon
2- ryoudo and freinds going back from valmars moon on the grana saber
3- the bad creatures from valmar moon followed the granasaber after they left
valmars moon
these three movies must be aded to the cd 2
but we new about that point but the disaster is when ryudo holds his hand feeling not good and his freinds around him while theyre on a bridge in
the king roan city is not fixable because the fmv is not available on cd1 or 2 and i tried to insert
any fmv just to run and continue but this one failed also because i dont now whats the name and number of the file i tried a variety but i wasted many cd's for nothing.
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese some body help me find
the lost file ... any one

You're not really SWITCHING the CDs - You're actually saving the game, and booting up the other CD. You understand that, don't you?
