Ripping console game videos...

Postby aerendyl » Mon Oct 02, 2006 12:15 pm

Hello people,

I've got a question: can anyone help me with ripping videos from my console games?

What I've got:
* PS2 + games: Kingdom Hearts I, Final Fantasy X, Final Fanatsy X-2
* GameCube + games: Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
* Computer + hardware: Tv card (I have to ask my mum about how to install it/use it/what type it is.)

What I want:
* Advice
* Ripped videos from the games I own.

Thus far I use http://www.kh-vids.net/ for my Kingdom Hearts videos, but I prefer better quality.

So... Can you help me?

Sincerely,
~Aerendyl

although these haven't seemed to help [much] for some ps2 games (KH, KH2, FFX and X-2 come to mind) it should give you a basis for using video game footage

but your best bet (especially for the gamecube games...probably for the ps2 games I metnioned above) is to capture them as you play.
You say you have a tv card...and that might work (depends on if you have a composite video in [the yellow a/v thing]...though you could just use the antenna in if you had an rf adapter), if not then you would need something like this
or if you just want video (no audio) this would also work

you may also need an emulator (so that you can record while you play) depending on what software your tv card came with.
Fraps can do this (though not completely free) and is lisetd in one of the two threads I linked to above

before I get torn to shreds...fraps isn't an emulator...but it can record video.
an emulator allows (in this case) you to put a console disk into your computer and then play it (as if it were the console)

Yeah, I thought of that too. I think it's possible to link my PS2/GameCube to my TV-card, but I'm not sure. If not, I have to use a video camera... >.<

One more thing
Even though its possible to rip The Legend Of Zelda, you need to use a capture card like Kariudo said because zelda only has in-game cutscenes
I don't think there are any fmvs you can rip in it.

Just wanted to add a little extra point:

Actually, Final Fantasy X-2 can be ripped just fine with Castor Troy's guide. Only FFX crops up with issues, but Kariudo's links take care of that.
