can't find any high quality ff9 fmvs...

[Precious Garnet]

I'm planning on making a FF9 AMV/music video but I can't seem to find any high quality ff9 fmvs. If anybody here knows any please tell me. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

We can't link you to those downloads here, as those are copyrighted material. Sorry.

edit: Opened the thread again because Mirage wants to say something.

You could just rip them yourself
This might help

[Mirage]

Yes, starseeker. That was exactly what I had in mind.

You can't be a self-respecting AMV maker if you use downloaded footage, they laugh at you!

[starseeker]

And the quality will be crap. Stuff up for download is bad quality to keep the file size small and server costs down.

[Mirage]

Not in p2p networks :p

I'd say ripping is the best option too - but still don't expect super high quality, since I beleive the FMVs on the actual game discs are only at a 320x240 resolution since that's sufficient/standard for PSX games

And tons of compression artifacts.

[rubah]

pc version (of ff8) use double resolution!

[Samuraid]

The originals are 320x224 to be exact and are compressed with a proprietary motion JPEG format.

Yeah, there's no such thing as "good quality" Final Fantasy IX FMVs.

Indeed it does, and it looks so awesome compared to anything made for the PS1.

Especially since Bink video is far more efficient than Playstation's video codec.
