I ripped the Kingdom Hearts II FMVs using the method in this thread. I've yet to come across a way to sucessfully rip the FMVs from Kingdom Hearts.

How did you successfully rip the Kingdom Hearts 2 FMV's? I was only able to get the ending FMV with no audio, and none of the .pss files warranted any results when I was searching for audio.

try this method....hex is more exact...
TUTORIAL
or using the nova way....i split my files with 1.6gb segemnts...(2x1.6gb and a ~400meg left over) and ran the three through nova and got the same 11 pss i got while hexing....and they were all on the 2nd piece

That's what happened to me at first too, and it's because you didn't split the ISO into four pieces before attempting extraction.

1) Rip the ISO of the game disc using DVD decrypter.
2) Use the File Splitter to split the ISO into four 1GB parts.
3) Run those four new parts of the ISO through the Nova Software Extractor, making sure only the box next to "MPG" is checked.

This finds all of the FMVs, and some of the in-game cutscenes aswell (since, for some reason, Square chose to record those and place them in the fashion of an FMV).

Here's screenshots to prove I'm not bullshitting you:

As you can see, they all ripped perfectly for me. Getting the audio is still a mystery though, but I think it's simply because all the game's audio flowed together, and wasn't separated for the FMVs (since the FMVs flowed right in and out of the in-game scenes). My only advice is to get the audio via line-in through your sound card, because I don't see any way to get the FMV audio exclusively being possible anytime soon.

Plus all you need is the footage anyway if all you're going to do is make AMVs with it.

That clears things up quite a bit. Unfortunately, learning all of this stuff in three hours (that would be two days ago) means that I'm still a n00b at this, and thus must be more careful with the videos.

Sound card... interesting... time to go look up prices.

Oh, and I did believe that you got the vids, you didn't need to post those beautiful, beautiful pictures (thank God I've already seen the full ending, or I would've been mad).

No no no, you know that thing you plug your speakers into in the back of your computer? That's your soundcard. If your computer allows you to hear sound, then you have a sound card.

On your sound card, you'll notice atleast three holes. One is for the mic, one is for the speakers, and one is for line in. You'd need either one of those lines that have a plug on each end that's like the plug on the end of your computer speakers, or one of those adapters that allows you to plug in one of those red and white audio lines into it (or you could just use your PS2 line directly), and allows you to plug it into the computer (neither should cost you more than five dollars). Then you plug one end into the line in hole in your sound card and the other end into the back of your tv/vcr/ps2/whatever, and use an audio recording program (I prefer the free, and best audio recording/editing tool out there, Audacity) and record via line in.

It may sound complicated if you've never done it before, but it's actually painfully simple and shouldn't take you more than a couple minutes plus the length of whatever audio it is you're recording.

Posting links to downloadable footage is against the rules.
