Adding videos to SOM

[Verdite]

Does anyone know the format of the video, and the specifics?

Im about to start making the intro and the ending. Nothing fancy - just text and image based.

Yeah I did a bunch of video work when I was working with mytrosia, the only problem with video is that, it is gonna look a little grainy..... ‎  Unless you use the default 640x480 resolution, and yuck who wants that.... Som only plays video on the stock res. ‎  ‎  DMP used a another codec for dark destiny, but his output was still the same..... The format is avi.... 6x4. I can send you some vids ‎  I made for you to test with they are ready, I took and episode of the old TV show cheers and turned it to an event video for testing..... Looked good but once again low ‎  res. One thing I would like is to have our view match what our game output res. ........ But like with the au sound format, som ‎  uses very specific codecs......

Ah you already have a test vid, and you can use it for its specs...... Take the intro vid ‎  on kings field on the som setup disk..... That will be plenty to give you a gest of what to work with....... Happy videoing .............ML

Really any avi will work, the codec i used way back when was to get really small files, but it was incompatible with windows 7+ so I wouldnt recommend it.

I recompiled my videos into a new avi format that is much better, a bit larger but will play with any version of windows.

If you can compile the videos into any format (whatever is easiest for you) I would be happy to convert them using Adobe Premiere, its a really great software for that, and I can add in a bunch of effects with it if necessary.

Here is a trailer I made for one of my xbox games using it:
