virtua fighter 3 intro..

does someone there know where i can find a video file with that intro?? in good quality..not youtube kind...

maybe on the dreamcast - virtua fighter 3 tb?

thanks in advance

 

Why do you want that? If you are really in need for it I could make a high quality flash of the DC version no problem.

Yakumo

 

that would be REALLY apreciatted.

 

If you're not in a hurry I'll do it over the weekend. I think there are two versions of the intro so I'll do both on a loop.

Yakumo

 

with the intro i'm refering to the video that shows jacky driving a car, aoi in a house... shun drinking (water?? haha!),,,,lau training pai...akira training at the desert....

thanks yakumo,., no hurry! no stress at all!

 

Ah, you mean the History Of VF. Ok, that's was the one shown on Chanel 4 in the UK as well as a Promo for Saturn VF3 that as we all know never came out.

Yakumo

 

no i think maybe you or i am confused...

i'm refering to this...

what i'm looking for is for that video with big quality...

 

it's the same movie saturn_worship
vf3 or TB has no prerendered intro(the youtube video is misslabeled)

 

yep, that's the History of VF video as was show on UK TV. It is on the VF3tb disc as a bonus movie so yeah, I can do that this weekend. It will be in 640 x 480 interlaced resolution probably.

Yakumo

 

thanks a lot yakumo

in spain that video was shown as promo for virtua fighter 3 (think it, the characters, graphics etc) it was a promo for the arcade, and for me, the best intro/virtua fighter video EVER

damned dreamcast port!

where's arcade perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!¿¿¿¿ damn SEGA!!!!

 

You can take the vid files from an image of the game. The one you are looking for is named MOVIE_B.SFD (66.1 MB)
You need to convert it, but it can be done in less than 5 mins. It will be the best if you want the original quality. The resolution of the vid is 352x263. You can always resize it 2x.

There is also another movie named MOVIE_A.SFD which is bigger (339 MB).

 

well but... with what software i can convert it??

and ..if i put the gd on the cd drive it will read it??

thanks!

 

nope, your gdrom can't be read by your cd drive, this is why you need an image of it.
If you need the tools or the video already converted, let me know, I will send it without any pb, just PM at the usual place

 

Doing all that conversion isn't the best quality, Madroms. For a start the image size is tinny (for a PC) so you have to enlarge it which is going to lose quality no matter how many filters you add. Then you have to convert it to a format that PCs like to read such as standard MPEG or AVI. But first you need the ISO of the game and that's something not that easy to come by plus we don't like ISOs of games you can buy here at ASSEMbler.

The best and easiest way is just to capture the video with some good equipment. My capture card can make a pretty poor image look pretty much perfect plus it will capture at DVD resolution without picture loss unlike what you get from enlarging stuff. Believe me, I know an awful lot about video editing and know that direct conversions of MPEGSofdec to AVI with enlargements isn't the best way to go. It will always look worse than a direct capture through RGB or component.

Talking about ISO is not a problem; having some ISOs of games for which you also have the original media is also not forbidden and it lets you have a backup as GDROM can't be copied easily by yourself.

CUT

So i don't think me just talking about an ISO is more forbidden or that people here don't like (talking about) ISOs.

ISOs for games that you DOWNLOAD are not allowed on this board full stop. What you suggest is that Saturn_Worship does is download the ISO then rip the videos. The likelihood that he can rip his own GDROM which he clearly doesn't have is next to none since if he had the original he wouldn't want the video now, would he.

Ok, first of all i hope that is ok for me to have unlocked the topic and edited 2 posts, but it was all for "bringing peace". In case, any other better and more experienced mods are willingly to put everything back as before (re-locking and de editing) i'll apologize. No disrespect is meant to be done.

On request i've cleaned and unlocked the topic because more people might be interested in the videos, and because Madroms is actually showing good will to stop the argument. I had a talk with him, and i'm sure that now you 2 are ready to have a clarifying chat.

again, yakumo, you have PM from me, and if you need any explanation PM me.

 

I hope not to drive this thread to the same point in which ended, but I've a comment for Yakumo about the advantages of using a video capture card against using the original video files . Everything in good terms and apart of the fact of "how" you get them, for sure.

I bet I haven't got the same knowledge about video edition as you've, but I believe it should be the contrary indeed, specially if the signal which you're getting is interlaced, Right? I think that getting the original video "code" can't be compared to get an external signal, which is very sensible to the condition of the cable and has been manipulated by the corresponding circuits.

I also think that the low quality which you mentioned has another origin, and it's the poor conversion from the MPEG Sofdec software to AVI. Conversions among different containers and compression algorithms always cause problems. Playing a true MPEG Sofdec file on a PC (using the official software from CRI) shouldn't have comparison.

The same goes for scaling a video. Some video capture cards may use some kind of hardware for scalling (The best quality which I've gotten from an interlaced signal has been with a Faroudja chip), but it's because they need good scalling in real time. The true reponsible of the quality per frame is the algorithm employed inside of it, and the best ones are available also in video edition software.

Please, don't take this as a "you're wrong" post, just as a "I don't think so", since I know you've much experience video editiing. Summarizing my opinion: In this case it could be better to capture, but only because the conversion to AVI would suck :nod: .

 

Ok, thanks karsten.


So, here is my contribution:



You can find links to the videos at http://www.satakore.com
I can't put links here as direct links are not allowed on my site (Sorry for the inconvenience) ray: , or copy/paste them onto your adress bar:
SAMPLE version
Final version

I hope the quality of the video is good and enough for your needs, saturn_workship.

Enjoy my little contribution to the community ;-)

 

just wondering, why did you enhance the resolution? from my understanding you can't improve the quality, but only the size... did you use special filters or such?
