Well, at least it doesn't find my kinds of dat files. I did manage to find a converter (River Past Audio Converter - supposed to be able to convert any dat file) that tried to open the dat file, but it said it didn't have any recognizable audio in it. I don't know what Shadow Hearts did to encode their audio, but with MFAudio (it says open the .pss so I do), all I get is 3 to 5 seconds of static when I try to play it. And I can't convert it or anything. I mean, I guess I don't really
need it, but I would have liked to been able to watch my clips too with sound.
MFAudio. Doh. How did I forget to recommend that to you earlier?
This is quite a nutcase.
Instead of just stopping after trying to play the audio in MFAudio, try converting it. Play the output .wav file and see if it works all right.
.dat is a audio format I have never seen or heard about being on a PSS file. You might want to try re-ripping the game disc itself again into PSS files, and then use PSS Plex to demultiplex the PSS files again into the av streams. Then try the methods again.
If all of these do not work, I'm going to fall under the assumption that this Shadow Hearts game is one of those tough game discs to rip (like Zone of the Enders), that's just formatted differently from other games.
At this point, I say just go make the music video without the audio, as it won't be necessary, or if you really want it badly, capture the audio via audio recording while PSS playback on the PC(using tools such as PS2play, or PSSplay. Although chances may be that it may not be succesful, due to the fact that PS2 and regular MPEG2 streams work very differently in playback on a PC), or hardware capture with a video capture card.
thanx...
