Missing Video/.AVI Question

Post by Fial » Mon Apr 18, 2005 5:37 pm

Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me out on this. I ripped Resident Evil: Code Veronica on PS2 onto my comp, got the movie files and checked them out on my DVD2AVI. However, I noticed that some of the FMVs aren't there (mainly those of Steve Burnside, who I'm trying to make a music video out of). I heard that some files were hidden and I could use SmartRipper to see those, but it wouldn't detect my PS2 disc. Is there anyway to access those FMV files that I don't see listed when I attempt to take the .PSS files out?



Also, a little side problem. Whenever I saved a movie segment on DVD2AVI as an .AVI file, I cannot open it in Windows Movie Maker because it says the file is "not valid or corrupt." I know it's not corrupt, but I don't understand why it's not valid. The file itself doesn't contain anything, either (I saved a movie segment as lll.avi, and when I check the file properties, it says 0 kb). Anyone have any idea what's going on? On a side note, I can't play .AVI movies on my Windows Media Player, either. It says I don't have the proper codec, but I can't seem to be able to get the codec, either.

I'd appreciate any help, although I'm mostly concerned about the missing fmvs. Thank you.

Don't use DVD2AVI to save .AVI files. Its AVI export capability doesn't work right.
Instead, use it to save .D2V project files, which are then servable with AVISynth, like so:

Try installing ffdshow:

Or, if that doesn't work, read this:
