I think, this program decodes FMV incorrect...
They're square-like resolution after processing, but as far I know native MPEG2 res has much bigger width !
Why the program changing resolution ?

The fmv's actual resolution is widescreen 16:9.
the reason why it looks like 4:3 full screen resolution is because of the stream headers (or rather the lack of stream headers). So I suppose most media players default to 4:3 under those circumstances. This is why the footage appears to have the wrong resolution. There are ways to resize the footage back to 16:9 though. I think TMPGEnc can do such a task. Or if you wanted to convert the footage to avi format, then an Aspect ratio of 704x400 is a good substitute for 16:9 resolution.

if you do a rightclick on the atrac3.inf file
the second option would install it

I was wondering if you could do the same thing with KHII:FM+? I want to rip the extended secret movie from it and it would be nice if you could show me how to do with a hex editor. How do you know what you're suppose to look for? How do you know where the starting position and the final position of the video file are?

Yes, it is out in Japan right now and many importers have already started receiving the game.

Release date is 29.3.07, today.

but KH2 has no special new Format, it has "maybe" the same format as the normal KH2.

so scan DVD with Cube Media Player, extract Movie + extract subdata.

the subdata is the audio in Atrac3 Wav Format without a wav header.

The Unknown One · March 29th, 2007

^Can you please show me how to put the header file on there? It doesn't really sounds that hard to do.

Thank you for your work

take a wav file and convert it to atrac3 format. using a hex editor, load the atrac3 file into it, and copy the wav header of the atrac3 file. Afterwards, load the Kh2 dat file into the hex editor and paste the wav header of the atrac3 file at the beginning of the dat file. I'll try to post a more detailed explanation later providing I remember. But that's basically sums it up.

The Unknown One · March 30th, 2007

I tried that, but I ran into a few problems. First, how do you convert WAV files to AC3? I tried SonicStage and it worked, but when I opened their files in the hext editor, I couldn't tell where the wav headers ended and where the music data starts. They didn't have anything in common, which leads me to believe that that's not the conversion I want.

Plus, do you append the header to the beginning (changing the file size) or do you overwrite the beginning?

For KH2, you append the header to the beginning (changing the file size) .
I used DBpowerAMP music converter to convert wav files to atrac3.

Try copying this long string of hex at the beginning of your KH dat files. See if you can get anything to work.

The Unknown One · March 30th, 2007

OMG, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, it didn't work initially, but then I messed with second 4 bytes to get it to equal the size of the file and I heard music, OMG!! Thank you, I will credit you when I upload the video.

EDIT: Well, looks like I got excited too soon. For some reason, it won't work in certain players. Also, I tried to encode with it, but it cuts off towards the middle of the song. Is it because I specified the wrong size for those 4 bytes?

EDIT: Also, I want to mention that the audio file is a couple of minutes longer than the actual video. Am I suppose to speed up the audio file? How would one do that?

yeah. I knew you'd encounter some problems. use this instead

52494646A0422600 57415645666D7420 2000000070020200 44AC000099400000 800100000E000100 0010000000000000 0100000064617461 CC95A702

I'm assuming your working with the secret ending to KH2 FM, correct? In any case, this will make the song appear to be over 44 minutes in length. It's far off from the actual time, but at least the entire song can be heard. (I admit, I messed with the hex code some, and I don't know what characters to use in order to produce an exact time of 3:51.)

Once you've done this, you'll have to find a program you can use to re-sych and match the audio with the video. Unfortunately, the only easy way I know of to do this is with an editting program. I used adobe premiere for example. You might be able to pull something like this off w/ windows movie maker. But I don't know if you can import files like this into that program.

If worse comes to worse, I'll upload the audio file I made later on. It matches up perfectly. But for now, if you don't have an editting program on you, you might want to think about giving up for now unless someone else can provide an alternate solution.

dsfgd · March 31st, 2007

i had found a way to get a perfect MPG out of this M2V and Atract3 wav.

- extract the movie + subdata (i have a extractor for KH2, so i don't must use Cube Media Player or other tools)

- merge the wav header with this subdata and edit Filesize pointer.
(my .bat for this: copy /b "Atrac3_header.bin" + "File_12.dat" "File_12.wav")

- convert the new .wav file with Windows Audiorecorder in a normal PCM .wav, then use this .wav to convert it into .mp2 ( i use headac3he-0.23a for this).

- the last step: merge Movie.m2v + Movie.mp2 (I use TMPEnc Plus 2.5 - MPEG Tools) to get a fully working Movie without speed errors. (tested with KH2FM Secret Ending)

i think this speed errors comes normaly from the header itself, so I upload my used header.

smallsquall · March 31st, 2007

Thank you very much. Is this method of extraction and audio processing similar to all the other PS2 KH?

Edit 1:
If you don't mind, please post the info for Cube Media Player's "Advanced options".
It's located at Edit > Preferences > Advanced options.
I tried fiddling around with it and now you see where that got me. I scanned and extracted but only got a .PSS file. PSS Demux didn't help me. I guess this is due to my settings.
Well, that's it for now I guess. Thanks again.
Please forgive me if I end up asking too much later. Which I probably will lol.
Been a long day, KH isn't really helping lol. Anyway, off to bed for me.

it works only with KH2 (US, JAP, EU) in JAP all videos are not hidden, KH2FM (all videos are in OVL.IMG), and RE:CoM

i can't work with KH1, because, in all versions, the videos are encrypted
only KHFM has unencrypted Videos and you can extract it (look in yaz0r's Forum for my post with this tools, to get all KHFM Videos)

Thank you very much for the info.
A good day/night to you

Cheers, have fun playing.

Edit 1: Sorry, having trouble finding your post at yaz0r's forum - Index
I've searched using your username, FMV, Final Mix and etc.
I'm trying to extract videos from KHFM.
I'll be uploading transcodes to sites, you will be credited. Thanks again.

Edit 2: Finally found it. The poster was known as Geo, so I don't know if that was you.
Either way, thanks for leading me there.

Hi, dsfgd will it be alright if you can make a PAL UK/AUS/NZ ripper of Final Fantasy 12 for me and others out there. I uploaded the first 5MB of the file here is the Link:

Removed

PM me when you do it thankyou very much
Best Regards
