No, I wasn't talking about the in game scenes, i was talking about the cgi. I know all to well that most in game is not rippable. Just saying that if anyone wants to get kh final mix in hopes of ripping the cgi (with the only kh ripping program that works only for the japanese version, ie: final mix) well i'm telling them not to waste their money. Though the bonuses and whatnot are worth it, but for ripping reasons its a no no because the only fmv/cgi it rips is the special ff x-2 trailer.

Ok. FF12's finally out. who's going to rip it for everyone and tell us how it's done? I've tried using all the usual extraction methods but I've had no luck.

Could someone perhaps make a modified version of this program to rip the fmv's from the english version instead of the japanese version?

I know this is going to sound bad...

But would anyone be willing to send me the ISO for FFX-2 over a messenger service? I own the game, but it has too many scratches on it, and DVD Decrypter comes up with a bunch of read errors because of it. I had all the videos on my computer at one point, but the HD crashed, leaving me video and ISO-less.

Please PM me about this - and mods, don't delete this post. I own the game, and having a backup of the game is perfectly legal, even if I was unable to do it myself.

Thank you.

No, it's not. You need to check the laws again, and the forum rules again. You aren't supposed to ask for that sort of thing here, and ripping games is illegal, not to mention distributing them. Whether you own(ed) it or not is irrelevant.

You can easily walk into a game store and ask them to clean it for you.

Take better care of your games.

Actually it's perfectly legal... the same as it is to own a digital copy of any DVD you own - it's the software programs that get around the copy-protection on the DVDs and Games that is illegal. There is no protection on my copy of FFX-2, which means if I could successfully copy it to my HD, I would be rightfully and legally able to do so.

I have played through that game ten times, getting 100% completion on three of the playthroughs - I keep it in the case when not in use. I take perfectly good care of my games, but like anything involving a disk, wear and tear will make themselves known without much provocation. And yes, they'll clean it - for a price.

No, it's not. You need to go learn what you're talking about and quit pulling ideas out of your ass as fact. Ripping games and DVDs period is illegal, reguardless of what software/methods you use. Not that that's really relevant on this site since AMVs in general are illegal, but even still. Moral and legal are not the same thing.

What is relevant is that you're asking for someone to send you an ISO of a game, and that's against this forum's rules. It's a bannable offense that luckily, for you, isn't really enforced.

Go find your own software stealing methods.

Go take a legal course.. no, really. You need it. Or better yet, buy a legal handbook - cheaper and gives you the same information.

Having backups is legal. Seriously. I'm not even going to use the videos for AMVs, but for my own personal viewing without damaging the disk sectors every time I do.

Whats the quality like for pss files? Is it as good as using a video capture card? And what's the standard resolution of a pss file? Thanks =P

First off, I'm pretty sure there is no set standard resolution for a .pss file since I've seen them come in all sorts of resolutions. Most .pss files are just mpeg-2 streams, though I have seen one game which contained mpeg-1 formatted .pss files as well. (Xenosaga 3)

Last but not least, 99 times out of 100, it's always better to rip the files if you can from dvd's. Not just from video games, but from movies too. Not only is the quality bound to be much better, but it's also just a much faster process. Once again, Xenosaga 3 might be the only game out there where I could honestly reccommend perhaps capturing the footage over ripping it. The mpeg-1 quality of that footage just looks god awful to view on a monitor compared to watching it through a television.
