PS2 game FMVs are encoded on the disc as PSS files. Some programs can easily find them but for games like Final Fantasy X and X-2, they are hidden. This guide should help you rip footage that is hidden.

Programs you need:

DVD Decrypter
PSS Plex
The file splitter
Nova software extractor
MF Audio
DVD2AVI

Virtualdub (Divx/Xvid encoding)
Tmpegenc (MPEG encoding)


Step 1: Ripping the PS2 Disc
Put in your PS2 disc into your DVD-ROM/DVD Burner then run DVD Decrypter. Go to "Mode", then "ISO" and choose "Read". Then rip it to your hard drive by choosing "file" > "Decrypt". You should now have a large PS2 game ISO on your hard drive.

Step 2: Splitting the ISO
Open up The File Splitter and under "File to split", choose your PS2 game ISO. Select the folder on your hard drive you want the split files to be for "Folder for pieces". Then under "Size of Pieces", choose "Custom size". Make the custom size 1 GB and then choose "split" to split up the ISO.

Step 3: Extracting the PSS files
Now start up Nova software extractor and under "Files to scan", pres the "Select" button next to it and choose the split ISO files (They should end in a number). Under "Save extracted files to", press the "Select" button next to it to select the directory you want to store the extracted files in. Then under "Formats", choose "MPG". Press "Start" to begin scanning the split ISOs. The scanning process may take a while but it will show you the movies that you can extract from the game. Once the scanning process is done, select each of the mpg files, click on "properties" and change the mpg extension to pss. When you are finished, press "extract" to extract the pss files to your hard drive.

Step 4: Coverting the PSS files to MPEG2
Open up PSS Plex, choose "Demultiplex", then under "Select PSS source file", open up any of your newly made PSS files. Choose the directories you want the save the MPEG2 stream under and then click "start" to save it. Ignore the wav file it creates here because it will be distorted. Your MPEG2 stream should be saved as an m2v file.

Optional step: Getting the sound

Now that you have the footage, you can also get the sound if you want to watch the movie file on your computer. However, if you just want the movie file, then skip over to Step 5.

Start up MFAudio and click "open" and choose the pss file you want to extract the sound from. You can press "play" to see if it's the one you want. Click "save as" to set the directory you want the wav file saved to then click "process to save the wav.

Step 5: Converting the MPEG2 stream to avi
Open up DVD2AVI and select the m2v file then choose "save avi" and choose the codec you want to save it under (huffy preffered" then press ok.

Now you should have a large, yet fully working PS2 avi for video use.

If you want to attach the audio back to the movie, you can use virtualdub. Open the avi in virtualdub, then under "audio" select "wav audio" and the wav you extracted earlier then the audio should be back with the movie. If you want to encode it into mpeg with Tmpegenc, you can load the m2v file for the video stream and the wav for the audio stream. You can encode the movie into whatever you want from this point or use it for a video.

I hope that helps and any other suggestions, changes, comments, etc.. are gladly appreciated.

I suck. :cry:

For DVD Decrypter, go to Doom9.net and look under Descrambling / Ripping tools.

And this link: http://www.zophar.net/utilities/ps2util.html will have a bunch of the other programs mentioned (PSSPlex, MFAudio, etc.).

And I can't remeber if you mentioned if you read the guides, but if you didn't, at least read Quu's VERY OLD guide. It might help you at least for PS1 games. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/quuguide/

Does anyone happen to know of ANY freeware for MAC that will do this for me? I've searched for quite a while and have come up empty handed.

Any help is much appreciated.

Ok, umm, don't know where to start but i have just recently gotten the kh final mix (japan) version that i have heard there is a ripper for, I have tried it and it only rips the special secret trailer for final fantasy x-2. Everything else is a no show. No beginning fmv, no ending fmv. Unless there is one that rips all of final mix videos?

there's been talk about ripping kh, so far none successfull. best to note that there r 2 versions of rippable file, either fmv or cutscene in which most of the games fmv can only be extracted while cutscene is not. furthermore, square enix game uses different kind of encryption which make it hard to extract any fmv from it's game apart of ffx-2.
