Broken Sword PSX Videos

[ziltink]

Is it possible to convert the PSX videos to DXA to allow them to play in ScummVM? I've attempted this on my own with no luck. I found a .STR converter, which will convert the videos to .AVI. I can then convert this to a series of .PNG files, which I can then convert to DXA.

The problem I'm running in to is converting them to 640x480, they won't work, which is probably an issue with the .STR to .AVI converter.

The best I can do is 320x200, which plays back very small in ScummVM, is there an option I can set to stretch this video? I think it only plays back at 320x200 on a PSX anyways. The actual videos on the PSX CD is 640x200.

Any ideas?

Well, that is easy to find out. What resolution is the avi you are getting?

If you use VLC media player, you can find that info under Tools > Codec Information > Codec Details.

But what would be the point? Isn't the cutscenes already available better quality than the pax ones?

The resolution of the .AVI I get is 640x200. When I use these in ScummVM, it plays back at that resolution, which it does not do on a PSX because of the square resolution of the TV.

You're right, the are much better, I guess just nostalgia.
