If I had those original files, a movie addon should be no big deal

[loki1985]

you really *could* transcode them from your PSX version... but that would be somewhat dirty, meaning loss of quality and long winded method...

i think it is better to wait for someone to provide the original PC movie files...

I have games that have DivX movies (system shock 2 comes to mind) and the game runs fine

[dead-meat]

Sure there would be need to modify some dlls and stuff to make such games run with divX movies. Also the sys requirements would be a lot higher since decoding DivX isn't just as "easy" as mpeg -> Needs more RAM and such.

Well.. that's a problem, isn't it?

If someone would supply them, well... I would give a compressed movie addon a try.

[loki1985]

if a game uses activemovie supplied by windows, simple divx-ing should work. if the game uses its own mpeg/avi-decoder or checks for fileinfo, you can forget it....

IMHO they are simple mpeg files... at least in RE3 they are... check the header

the movies are compressed with Intel Indeo, however, the approach youre saying, i think, works. im just not really sure of it since i never tried. boy, do i wish i have broadband

(edit)
RE3 uses DXMedia for movies whereas RE2 (and Dino Crisis if anybody cares ), like i said earlier, uses Intel Indeo.

DivX-ing would need u to install the codec and an mp3 codec that's all no other stuff to play the game...and i think RE2 doesn't have it's own decoding dlls and shtuff, it's indeo if i remember cuz it has an option in the autorun to install it....dammit searching CDs is a lot of pain :\

..dammit searching CDs is a lot of pain :\

Then just stop it?!
