Dirge of Cerberus Videos

[Kira_Douji]

I've been trying to find a method of gaining the Dirge of Cerberus cut scene footage... to no avail. Every method I've looked up on this site/forum flat out doesn't work. The most I can accomplish is an ISO file. If someone could provide some insight as to how one might be able to get the video into an editable format, I'd be very appreciative.

Thank you in advance,
Kira

There's a ripper for it, but I can't get it to work...although it is a Japanese ripper so it may be for the NTSC/J version only.

^^yeah, it is unfortunately. Though there is someone on the internet who was kind enough to share the ripped .pss files. So it is possible to obtain untouched copies of DoC's fmv's. The only problem is, you'll have to swallow your pride and download them. But if you own the game, then you should'nt feel *too* guilty about it. Because as of now, it seems like the only way to get what you want just short of making your own application to rip the NA version.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing - downloading them, I mean. *sigh* At least the quality's good. :/

I split it into eight pieces instead of four, then scanned it and it found them all.

[sayde]

^^OMG, are you freak'n serious!?
Did you at the very least end up cutting some of the fmv's in half in the process!? Anyways, that's really awesome. I had no idea that splitting up the iso into so many parts would help Nova Extractor find the mpeg2 streams any easier.

WIN. Internet is in the mail.

I dl those .pss files awhile back when they were first available, but couldn't get them to work for some reason (and yes, I was supposedly doing everything right). So you're saying you DID manage to extract the FMVs? *rubs her hands together* I've been plotting my AMV with DoC for months now, having thoroughly spoilered myself by watching the FMVs when the game came out in Japan. I've got the game, now, but hadn't delved into extraction as of yet. I'm glad I found this thread.

I tried splitting it into 8 pieces like you said, but it still doesn't find anything. Nada. Should I use a different program other than Nova? What settings should I select? Please help! ^_^

[josian]

I split the file into 8 pieces but dint work with nova extractor.
Please devilmaykickass can you give us some details ?

[devilmaykickass]

Just follow the guide Castory Troy laid out in that other extremely long thread, and at the point where you split the file, make sure it's into 8 pieces rather than four.



I've done it twice now and it works without any issues. I'm not sure what other "details" are necessary.

[sayde]

devilmaykickass, tell us how many mb you set File splitter to split up the file at. Because there are a lot values one could use to split the iso into 8 parts. It maybe possible that the file size of each part ends up somehow affecting the offset and location of these fmv's. If this is indeed the case, it maybe neccessary that you tell us exactly how many mb you set the program to split up the file. Because I've tried this alread and have come up with nothing as well. I'm almost positive this is the problem. So if you see this, tell us the settings you used if you don't mind.

it doesn't work and I blame it on you, RK... you're mean

... and all cuz I'm too damned lazy to beat the blurry assed boss fight *pout*

yeah, nova isn't finding anything for me neither. I tried splitting them up into 500 megs, 512 megs and 450 megs, but still. I'll tell you if I EVER get it.

[Knowname]

er... devil lol. sorry. Wrong fob.

I think I may know what it is. Gamefly rented me out a pirated copy. DVD decrypter says 1, 2, 3 etc... region plus I read somewhere that if DVD decrypter doesn't recognize the disc it won't work for you. Well it idn't working ... least I figured out why ;p. Now I got too beat that STOOPID Weis jerk.

Yep! I put in a known legit game and it recognizes. But the DVDDecripter says region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (I think that's like... 5 too many o.0) but regardless the header isn't 'unknown'.

If it is a pirated copy lol. No WONDER Gamefly makes money off their service lol. Sneaky bastards.
