Burning PSX video CDZ

[mhmd_1983]

Hi all ,
I dono really how to burn psx video cd but i wanted to know , so i followed this instructions >>>>>>
1) Unzip the psx movie program. The VIDEO folder contains the STR files. The ICON folder contains the TIM files. You must replace these files with your own.

2) Convert a movie file you have to an uncompressed AVI file 320x240, 15 fps, 24-bit color, Stereo 16-bit sound @ 44100 Hz. Use VDub or a similar program. Warning this file will be very big!

Update: To avoid video and audio from going out of sync make your AVI file Stereo 16-bit sound @ 44100 Hz, then when converting to STR select 37.8 KHz Stereo and select Leap Sector. This should fix all audio sync problems.

3) Use MovTools to convert the AVI file to a STR file. (Select Sound: 37.8 KHz, Stereo; Easy: Double Speed, 15 fps, 1ch, Leap Sector; MDEC: version 2)

4) Using paint with Tim converter, make a 64x48x16-bit TIM picture file thats represents your movie.

5) Repeat 2:4 four more times naming the files 1.STR, 2.STR, 3.STR, 4.STR, 5.STR and 1.TIM, 2.TIM, 3.TIM, 4.TIM, 5.TIM . Place them in the VIDEO and ICON folders.

Update: You can also make you own background, which is the file ALBUM.TIM. It should be 320x200x16-bit.

6) Now comes the hard part, making a licensed cd image. If you can figure it out use Sony's CdGen its in cdtools.zip . Save as ccs from CdGen called say movie.ccs, then run on DOS command line ccs2cti.exe movie.ccs movie.cti . This will create a cti file which you can use with buildcd.exe .

7) On the command line run buildcd.exe -zus -imovie.img movie.cti This will create a Cd image.

Update: -zus will create an United States(us) licenced image, Use -zeu for Europe and -zjp for Japan. Also you can leave -z out and license later with BootEdit.

8) Then run stripiso s 2352 movie.img movie.bin

9) Now run BinChunker on movie.bin to create movie.iso

Update: You will need a .cue file to run BinChinker. Simply copy this to a text file called movie.cue --->
FILE "Movie.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

10) And finally run BootEdit on movie.iso to license the Cd.

Update: Select Don't license cd image. Since you already licenced it with buildcd.exe -z Add any TMD file and text you want.

11) Burn a Cd using Cd Creator, pop it in your psx and watch some movies.

I already tried this but nothing worked .. i made all the instructions written in this site but nothing worked as i said before , so maybe i need more details about how to burn the CD and which sector i use 2336 or 2352 and the right command for STRIPISO and buildCD .. Thanks for your answer

[psx_paul]

psx uses 2352

[djgarf]

but str videos r 2336 bytes per sector so u need to use stripiso to convert the str videos to 2352 bytes per sector!

I just updated my PiMP player to version 0.1.9 beta. Now supports single speed STRs so now 74 min of video on cd! Also new interface and filenames. Getting psx video cds to work is more art than science, when I first started I had 30 coasters before I had a good one.

1 convert your STRs
2 test them with PSmplay
3 run the makeiso.bat file
4 burn the .bin/.cue

Do it that way and you don't have to worry about bytes/sector, cti files, and all that stuff... Hope that helps.
