You can do it GiGaHeRz! We believe in you. Great job on the tool too. It saves me a lot of time. I'm glad that I helped, and made you aware of the error that I recieved, but it still works.

Best of Luck!!

excellent work! GiGaHeRz!

here are some screenshots from Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly (P.E.Op.S CDVD Driver). I tried Ico and Kingdom Hearts, Ico (Linuzappz ISO CDVD Driver) has only one result and KH (P.E.Op.S CDVD Driver) has none.

Addt'l Post:
a total of 40 FMV's (about 1.30GB) were searched for Fatal Frame 2.

Beta04 released...

It has an experimental feature that will do a less restricted search, so don't complain if it finds things that aren't FMVs and you are using it

Hmm... With Beta04, the program crashes with a "System Error &H80070583" on startup. This never happened with previous versions; is it related to the manifest file issue in the earlier versions, or could there be a config file somewhere that's causing this? I'm running XP Pro SP2, if that helps, with theming on. Also, it seems a memory leak was introduced somewhere in Beta03. That version has a tendency to gobble up memory and not release it when the program is shut down (requiring a cold restart to permanently purge). I don't know how Beta04 is, however, due to the inability to run it, so it might already be fixed.

Still, this let me extract bits from Anubis: ZOE Special Edition, for which I've been looking for a movie ripper for some time. The interleave still doesn't seem to be quite right (sound is distorted, clipped, or missing, and won't demux from the produced MPG file), but I guess that it uses a custom format. Regardless, I can work with what it produces, so that's not a big loss. Thanks!

**GiGaHeRz** · October 26th, 2004

hm... strange. will compile a version without the integrated manifest to see what it does, but I don't think thet this will be the problem...

about the output: unless there is a bug in the extraction, it doesn't touch the contents, only copy them in the same way they are on the disc, so if you can't play them, it shouldn't be a problem of the tool.

EDIT: Found the problem. I didn't call InitCommonControls() at startup.
This should fix the error code.

EDIT2: About the memory leaks:

I don't know where it can leak memory because visualbasic does most of the operations... unless.... let me check something about the plugins

EDIT3: No it wasn't that. Dunno where the leaks come from.

**Razor Blade** · October 26th, 2004

Never tried this before, but I did today. I came across problems.

I followed the instructions exact and with Beta 3 I get this error msg: "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

With Beta 4 I get this one

"System Error &H80070583 (-2147023485). Class does not exist."

edit: And with the fix you posted I get the same error as Beta 3.

That's because you don't have one of the required runtime files

Extract the files from the zip, right-click the inf and select install, then it should work.

Thanks, Beta04's working again! Memory's also not leaking nearly as quickly, but I don't really see how that could happen if you only modified one portion (then again, I've never written in VB, so I'm not too familiar with how it manages memory apart from the fact that it handles many of those functions itself). Still slows my system to a crawl if I leave it open for too long, but it's using it up at only about a quarter of the rate of Beta03. Weird.

As for the issues with A:ZOESE, I was kind of expecting it to be the file format rather than the extraction method, anyway. The first ZOE game had a weird interleave format that most PSS demuxers couldn't handle immediately, so the second probably did the same. Extracting FFX-2 (which I've tried in the meantime) was completely successful, though, so it's definitely not your program at fault. Again, thanks for a really useful program.

yair23 · October 26th, 2004

great job GiGaHeRz's, Im downloading it now ...

this will answer your question.

Wait, did i read that it extract the fmv WITH sound? My xenosaga movies don't have any sound. Is there an option or am i just deaf?

they are PSS streams, you need a pss player / demuxer to get the sound. opening them in a mpeg2 player will not give you sound (unless you have a directshow pss demuxer).

EDIT: Just a note:

The tool is meant to extract the FMVs from the hidden data. If you can copy the PSS files directly, you don't need it!

Also, IRX files are IOP modules (programs/libraries)

altivec · October 27th, 2004

just a question, I just tested beta 04 and there are results for Kingdom Hearts and when I'm extracting them the log say: Extracting "filename.mpg" but when I view the files, extension name was ".bin" and not ".mpg"

addt'l post:
I'm getting this error when it reads or searches the disc.

uh? ... that's a weird error. the only thing that could throw that error would be the found streams listview, but i generate the key from the starting offset, and it shouldn't find 2 streams starting at the same offset. o_O

Can you try to copy or read what say the last lines in the log? I know you can't use it when there is a messagebox active. I'm not at home now so I can't send you a modified version, but will try to make a "debug" version tonight.

I can't copy the log but I attached 2 images, the first one was reading/searching the disc and the other is extracting the disc.

Hm you are using the alternate method... then it must be a bug in that code.

I can't tell what happened in the second screen because i can only see the first lines of code, but probably it will be a problem with the fmv list. I will upload a version with a lot of debug testing later. (I have to make it

)

EDIT: This one shouldn't give you type mismatch errors. also it will ignore invalid lines when importing/exporting lists.

EDIT2: Just noticed that the balck BG in the log textbox shows a black border with my theme... I will make it use the default colors again if you prefer
