**Yeloazndevil** · June 21st, 2004

zer0kewl · June 22nd, 2004

i know hex!! i learned it a while back, want a quick lesson? maybe u'll understand it:

ok, first off..theres letters A - F

A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15

Then, u gotta know that..if its hex, you multiply..if ur converting to hex..u divide.

So, if you have the numbers 2A this means (2 x 16) + (A x 1) but A is 10 so, (2 x 16) + (10 x 1)

2 is at the places of 16 to the one, while A is at the place of 16 to the 0, so therefore anything to 0 equals ONE (1).

get it? so if its 4F its (4 x 16) + (F x 1) / (4 x 16) + (15 x 1) = 64 + 15 = 79 (Decimal Numba)

so yea..so..if u wanted to learn Hex thats basically it..atleast for the converting to decimal part..i know its a lil too quick of a lesson, but if u want..i can make a much more in depth lesson..its just hard using comps lol.

Does anyone have the Japanese program? I could try to find someone to make it NTSC compatible..

the japanese version is NTSC compatible it just doesn't work with the american or european version of FFX-2

and here's the link for FFX-2 Tool

JKozzy · July 6th, 2004

Any reason it won't work? Just because the differences between the American and Japanese disc's sizes? Or is it some computer compatibility issue? I'm not thinking it's the latter though... hope someone makes one for America soon

Are there any good websites that have the movies already ripped out there?

**GiGaHeRz** · July 6th, 2004

It won't work because the program has the exact positions and sizes of the fmv's in the jap version, and they are in different in the other versions (I think).

BTW, Jap. cosoles use NTSC too. AFAIK, only us, Europeans, have PAL.

JKozzy · July 6th, 2004

Yeah, I mixed up the fact that NTSC can have different regions, my b

Vanit · July 7th, 2004

Hehe, I'm glad that I have both the English and Japanese versions.

that would be much work would't it?

Sam-Chan · July 28th, 2004

Just out of curiosity... how did FFX2.Net rip them... I mean, their clips are English, and if it were recorded from the game onto their computer(s), then it would have the black frame around thier FMVs...

schattenberg88 · July 29th, 2004

I'm a member of other forums and someone sent this to me and I thought that I would share it with you. It doesn't work with Kingdom Hearts yet, but does work with FFX-2 and might work with FFX. I did this myself and it can take up to a couple hours. If you have any questions feel free to contact me any way you want. Hope you enjoy.

How to rip PS2 FMV/PSS files.

PS2 game FMVs are encoded on the disc as PSS files. Some programs can easily find them but for games like Final Fantasy X and X-2, they are hidden. This guide should help you rip footage that is hidden.

Programs you need:
DVD Decrypter
PSS Plex
The file splitter
Nova software extractor
MF Audio (Removed the MF Audio link)
DVD2AVI
Virtualdub (Divx/Xvid encoding)
Tmpegenc (MPEG encoding)

Step 1: Ripping the PS2 Disc
Put in your PS2 disc into your DVD-ROM/DVD Burner then run DVD Decrypter. Go to "Mode", then "ISO" and choose "Read". Then rip it to your hard drive by choosing "file" > "Decrypt". You should now have a large PS2 game ISO on your hard drive.

Step 2: Splitting the ISO
Open up The File Splitter and under "File to split", choose your PS2 game ISO. Select the folder on your hard drive you want the split files to be for "Folder for pieces". Then under "Size of Pieces", choose "Custom size". Make the custom size 1 GB and then choose "split" to split up the ISO.

Step 3: Extracting the PSS files
Now start up Nova software extractor and under "Files to scan", pres the "Select" button next to it and choose the split ISO files (They should end in a number). Under "Save extracted files to", press the "Select" button next to it to select the directory you want to store the extracted files in. Then under "Formats", choose "MPG". Press "Start" to begin scanning the split ISOs. The scanning process may take a while but it will show you the movies that you can extract from the game. Once the scanning process is done, select each of the mpg files, click on "properties" and change the mpg extension to pss. When you are finished, press "extract" to extract the pss files to your hard drive.

Step 4: Coverting the PSS files to MPEG2
Open up PSS Plex, choose "Demultiplex", then under "Select PSS source file", open up any of your newly made PSS files. Choose the directories you want the save the MPEG2 stream under and then click "start" to save it. Ignore the wav file it creates here because it will be distorted. Your MPEG2 stream should be saved as an m2v file.

Optional step: Getting the sound
Now that you have the footage, you can also get the sound if you want to watch the movie file on your computer. However, if you just want the movie file, then skip over to Step 5.

Start up MFAudio and click "open" and choose the pss file you want to extract the sound from. You can press "play" to see if it's the one you want. Click "save as" to set the directory you want the wav file saved to then click "process to save the wav.

Step 5: Converting the MPEG2 stream to avi
Open up DVD2AVI and select the m2v file then choose "save avi" and choose the codec you want to save it under (huffy preffered" then press ok.

Now you should have a large, yet fully working PS2 avi for video use.

If you want to attach the audio back to the movie, you can use virtualdub. Open the avi in virtualdub, then under "audio" select "wav audio" and the wav you extracted earlier then the audio should be back with the movie. If you want to encode it into mpeg with Tmpegenc, you can load the m2v file for the video stream and the wav for the audio stream. You can encode the movie into whatever you want from this point or use it for a video.

**Yeloazndevil** · July 29th, 2004

thank you for posting that guide

Sam-Chan · July 29th, 2004

Thank you! It worked just fine! Except in "Getting the sound" step, the site that has MF Audio is not allowing the file to be downloaded. It redirects to it's main page everytime I click on the download file.

EDIT: Thanks again! (For attaching the program). It really does work so feel free to try it!

**Yeloazndevil** · July 29th, 2004

had to remove that MF Audio link since it went to a a certain site
