First to download!
 Great work mate. I totally take back all I siad about you re-doing this. From the list of improvements, this is well worth grabbing again. The 'nasty' installer (as you call it) was a good thing in my book though? Made the package idiot-proof  Again, a huge thanks for all your hard work mate.

Nice work Sp00kyFox. I think this is the closest we're ever gonna get to achieving the GC high quality cinematics.
And I thought the first release was a vast improvement! Can't wait to try version 2. -------------------- Gregs2k2

Well, i cant bring it to run, and i have ffdshow.
Where do i have to set this settings? "Video: x264 - 1536kbps, TwoPass, Profile: "HQ-Slowest" (profile of MeGUI) Audio: MP3 - 160kbps CBR" I hear something, but i just see a very very small Box where the scene is in. -------------------- ComedianYou merely postponing the inevitable! |

Hmm, I replaced the files but I don't really see a major difference between v1 & v2 as I see them in the screenshots, except v2 has less grain. Screens from v1 & v2 of 'r10bs00.mpg':

are those comparisons, to v1 vs v2?
cuz, if i remember, in v1 it did not look that bad. it was antialised. |

yeah that's correct, cuz x264 is a better codec than xvid und gives you much better compression.
I know that's a rethorical question but... look at the script files in the rar archive ;-)
I thought you can't bring it to run oO I've also got screensize-errors in some media players but it should be correct in the game. check in the ffdshow-VFW(!!!)-settings if it look like this here:  @tomperd it's more the question of the details.. if you look hard, you can see that the picture in the first version is much more noisy.. and also got in some scenes those nasty scanlines... well this is fixed in version2. also I think the difference is much more visible in motion. |

Oh, i did it!
For anyone having problems with codecs etc.... Install that: K-Lite Full Codec Pack! Well, i dont see a really big difference, what ever.  -------------------- ComedianYou merely postponing the inevitable! |

Spooky i think v2 little bit more blury then v1... and its bad for me
But v2 don't have that noticeable Drawing effect... its good for me V2 usex .264 codec wich dont causes crashes or selfminimasing of game window and work more stable then XVID... its also good. So in some cases its most cases its better then v1 but one pictures provided by Tomperd above is noticeable lose of small details...  im not sure that i want to replace v1 by v2...But i got idea of making HD prerendered cut scenes for year already, but my laptop so slow and dont have much free space for such job! Step by step: 0) Find some powerful PC (good idea to have one extra fast HIGH END PC for game and another middle end pc with video capture card for capturing and encoding video from 1st PC) 1) Download NGC\GCN RE4 iso 1.1) Edit hud and font tpl files and make them transparent to remove buttons from quick time even during cut scenes (this will make these scenes difficult to complete, but for that reason we need to find out memory values for QTE buttons and force them to be the same so we can push any button to have success in QTE cut scene to record it, and we cannot push any button to record unsuccessful ending of QTE and capture it ) 2) Download latest Dolphin and plugins, set them to maximum quality and HD resolution like 1280x720, turn off frameskip and sound, turn on Antialising + Anisotropy and all sort of effects (its good idea to use some shader for video plugin in dolphin that will improve quallity) 3) Then Run the game on PC1 which video out connect to video capture device on PC2 (its really good idea to have some person to help u start capturing video when cut scene will appear) shouleven with low FPS. Low FPS will make hard to complete the game but it doesnt actualy its doesnt matter for videocapturing... video should be edited frame by frame... but if u will find PC1 that will run the game with atleast 25 fps (but best is original FPS as played on GCN so it will be easy to mix video with audio later) it will save a lot of hours of work. To complete the whole game and capture all videos u will need about 20 hours . 4) after capture will be done it will be the time to cut some video to same pieces as we have in pc version, then mix the video fragments with audio that we already got (also that will need some fine tune to match exactly same sequences at it was originally in PS2\PS versions) This will take also about 10-20 hours (maybe less but this time its not so easy to be sure) on this stage videos should be stored with minimal compression 5) After video fragments will be prepared it will be time for final mastering - tweaking some gamma settings to match the PC version default gamma, give the rite names to videos and finaly encode them all now with compression (but without loosing of details) to PC version compatible format. Hope somebody can follow up these instructions sometime -------------------- |

sp00kyfox I have to agree with Voodooman. I'm glad that the noise/dirt & the scanlines are gone but I think that v2 videos look a little bit more blurry. Some details are lost.
Anyway, I think I'll be using v2.. so.. thanks |
