GUIDE: Fixing "Last Chapter" and "No Better P

Post by Prodigi » Tue Aug 30, 2005 12:02 am

seeing how there was quite a few people asking about fixing those two faulty clips from FFX when using FFX2MOV, and the forum with the information to fixing it is dead, i decided to do it myself, and i've written a little guide on how to fix them, which i have posted on my angelfire site. Here's the link:

http://www.angelfire.com/fang/prodigi/

the "guide" basically tells you what program (or type of program) you need, and why the error occurs and how to fix it within 2 minutes (literally).

If there are any problems (as there might be as i self-taught myself everything i use in that guide) please feel free to PM me, or leave a message in this thread, or even email me at:

Prodigi249@hotmail.com

hope it all goes well. Good luck.

Nice guide :)

Although, it is flawed unfortunately. You don't need to, nor should you, change the entire first line. All the files are set up with the first 8 sets of numbers should be the same, the next three sets should be differant for every file and the last 5 sets of digits should be the same.

-> 00 00 01 B3 2C 01 E0 14 <- first 8 digits that are the same on every file
-> XX XX XX <- random
-> C1 10 11 11 12 <- Last 5 digits that are the same on all the files.

There are only two numbers (that we know of so far) that you need to change.

00 00 01 B3 2C 01 E0 14

No better Plan and The Last Chapter string -> 00 00 01 B3 24 01 E0 24 <-
Change the two 24 sectors to the above bold numbers.

The first several lines of the files are actually the samewith the exception of those three sets on the first line. Then the numbers change at random times several lines down.

Here is the avisynth code I used...

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Mpeg2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\documents and settings\Brian\Desktop\tlc.d2v", idct=5,

CPU=4, ipp=true)
Telecide(order=0)
Decimate(mode=1)
crop(32,32,-32,-32)
LanczosResize(640,416)
FieldDeinterlace()

Trim where need on both files. They turn out pretty descent. Minor issues with what looks like interlacing and jaggedness. It's not interlaced though, not sure what you'd call it. Thanks again. :)
