    Hi. I have made a .STR file and I have burned it to a CD-ROM (ages ago), but the quality was terrible and the audio went of synch etc... I made it bootable, by using PIMP...


    How did the developers create such good intro movies for the PS games?

    IE: Toy Story 2 had clips from the movie (compared to the crap N64 which displayed terrible .GIF's :p) and Tony Hawk's Pro Skateboarding had an intro with him completing the loop. lol

    Bump

    Doesn't anyone know how it was done?

    ASSembler should know. I am waiting for you buddy ;-)

    The codecs were often licenced from middleware companies. Look at loading screens for logos, Bink and ADX spring to mind. Go from there.

    How did you make your .STR's Sony movie convertor? I too remember making a ps1 vcd at one point using a homebrew app but it required them to be encoded at a specific quality, the best ps1 side str player is the one included with action replay v4.20

    Yes. One of the Sony tools included with the PSY-Q / Yaroze tools.

    I used Virtual Dub to encode it all to a uncompressed .AVI first. Made like a 2 GB file that got compressed through it...

    That doesn't help :crying:
