IPU Update! - News discussion - Page 9

cottonvibes · May 4th, 2008

this might be a little off topic, but since it has to do with FMV sequences i'll post it here.

on page 3 of this thread, Refraction posted this regarding "black stripes" in FMV playback.

does anybody know the other resolutions that don't give the black strips in FMV videos?

i literally tried for over an hour with various resolutions, and everything except native resolution gave me black stripes.

I do a resolution of 1024x768 same as my desktop resolution and haven`t seen any black lines in videos.

cottonvibes's talking about FF X-2 FMVs. Not FMVs in general.

cottonvibes · May 4th, 2008

well actually the game i'm playing is Ar Tonelico, but alot of games seem to have the problem like FF X-2.
If you run it in native-resolution, the FMVs are perfect.
but in anything other than native that i've tried, i get black stripes.

Refraction mentioned theres other resolutions that work, and i think i've seen someone else mention that too, but that was along time ago and i don't remember what thread it was....

Anyways, I was just wondering, because i rather play the game with higher-resolution if possible.

I remember someone talking about using 1020x1020. But this was only for tekken I think.
You could also try to use a multiple of the native resolution. Might work for you.

**RPGW1ZaRD** · May 4th, 2008

In Tekken I believe it was res 1270 x 1270 that worked.

thats what i was trying.
didn't work.

i'm going to try 1020x1020, and 1270 x 1270.

but it might be that Ar Tonelico is just very picky. Because i really tried a sh1tload of values, and they all gave me black stripes except for native resolution.

edit:
tried them both, and they both produce black stripes

i guess Ar Tonelico dosn't like high-resolution :/
oh well, at least it works nice with native resolution

**bositman** · May 4th, 2008

Black stripes in videos cannot be fixed with certain resolutions,only black stripes ingame (like Tekken)
Now please get back on topic or this will get closed

hockland · May 5th, 2008

Yes we dont want that happening again.

Onto topic. Gran Turismo 4 still has the darkness issues that have been present ever since the most recent svn versions. Tested on most recent svn of 359.

thats not on topic! this is NOT the beta discussion thread! this is to discuss the IPU changes, thats it!

hockland · May 5th, 2008

As far I recall, the ipu changes were the only big change between the last few versions (349 - 359) so its likely that those ipu changes were the culprit behind the darkness issues. So in all technicality I`m sticking to the topic

is it a video which exhibits these darkness issues?

hockland · May 5th, 2008

Nope actual gameplay. But its been ever since that change.

well IPU cant cause ingame to be darker, so its obviously something else.

HOLY MOTHER OF ....

I'm getting huge speed boosts aswell. Xenosaga I runs at almost stable 60 FPS now. XD

GeominorAI · May 11th, 2008

Nonetheless, that is not altogether related to the IPU update. Let's not turn this into another beta discussion thread or risk giving any false hope.

On a side note: If the speed boost really is the case, the STATS data would probably need major adjustments after this.

but only when using frame or vu skip? or what?

Nightmare85 · May 12th, 2008

SVN364 runs like hell...
60 fps in Tekken 4 on all places except airport...
(Maybe minimal fps drops on several maps)

cottonvibes · May 12th, 2008
