woOow really nice conversion worked with me 100%..

thanx man for it :)

[FREEMAN100]

Ive had to add a few more programs than what you asked for as 1 is no good without the other..

List Below

1) BIG Editor V0.5 (.BIG file editor but cant uncompress .INI files)
2) FinalBIG V0.4 (.BIG file editor & can uncompress .INI files)
3) VP6 converter (.VP6 video file converting program)
4) VP6 Codec (Codec for VP6 files)

This is all freeware stuff so no probs on copyrights.....

Have fun hacking the game....http://rapidshare.com/files/23683138/CNC3_STUFF.rar

Cant wait for EA to release the SDK so I along with others can start to mod the game properly

[bierhuettl]

well i cancelled this downsampling method, it would've worked but its too much work now... i created a little workaround though ;) just dummied the bigfiles on the disk, and added the real ones in a self extracting rar, to a second dvd. so you have to install the game with dvd1, and install the "movies addon" into the installation dir from dvd2.

[bierhuettl]

won't work. just do it like i did :)
copy everything from the dvd9, put the three movies.big files in program files\electronic arts\ somewhere save, replace them with emtpy files. means create empty notepad file, rename it to the filename of the big file.

then you just put the three movie files on a seperate dvd

then you install it from dvd1, and copy the three files manually into the installation folder

i created a nice self extracting winrar archive for these files, you only have to specifiy the c&c installation path, and everything goes fine :)

[FREEMAN100]

I finished re encoding my vp6 files a few days ago....780megs for all 3 big files leaves me just over 2gig spare on the dvd....& yes it is alot of work cos you cant just convert them, theres a bit more too it than that...

[Armoured]

I finally got it to work. This is 100% working. I didn't delete any files or movies.

1) Create a folder and name it "C&C3_1" - This will be the 1st DVD

2) Now copy all the contents from the original DVD9, except the "program files" folder. This folder contains the movies.

3) Create another folder, and name it "C&C3_2" - this is the 2nd DVD. Paste the "program files" folder here. Do not just copy the movie files, but the whole folder. Also include "cnc3gdi.ico" and "Autorun.inf" - open the autorun file in notepad and change it to this:

[AutoRun]
open=0
icon=cnc3gdi.ico

You will also include the .msi file in this folder later on, after it has been edited (See below steps).

4) Download Orca. After installing right click on the .msi file(in the "C&C3_1" folder), and select "Edit with Orca". The name of the file will be "cnc3std.msi" (for standard edition) or "cnc3kane.msi" (for kane edition).

5) Once in Orca, in the column on the left scroll down and select "Media" - You need to edit it and change it to this:
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2875/cc3msifilevj7.jpg

IMPORTANT:
Your list might be different from mine, depending on different versions, but this is not a problem. You need to add the "Movies" row, highlighted in red. Just make sure you add the "movies" row in ascending order of the "LastSequence" column. As you can see the "LastSequence" column is set to 106, and is between 102 and 116 (highlighted in blue). Please note that since you cannot lower a row to the row below it to make space for the "Movies" row, you will need to delete all rows above a "LastSequence" value of 102 (or whatever number is closest to 106, since your list might be different) and then add all the rows again, starting from the movies row. DO NOT use my image above as a guide of the rows that follow the movies row since they might be different in your list. Instead "printscreen" your list and paste it in paint, and use that image as a guide. Just make sure you the rename the Volume Labels.
When finished save and exit orca.

4) Now simply copy this .msi file and paste in the 2nd folder, "C&C3_2"

5) If you want you can include a folder for patches,etc.

6) Now just burn the contents of the"C&C3_1" folder to a DVD. make sure you name the DVD as "C&C3_1". Then burn the 2nd DVD "C&C3_2", and again make sure the name is "C&C3_2"

7) Now when installing the game, around 1/4 through the installtion a prompt will come up telling you to insert DVD 2. insert DVD 2 and click continue. then around 3/4 you will recieve an error saying that a certain file cannot be found. this is obviously because this file (and the rest of the files) are in the first DVD. so remove DVD2, and insert DVD1 and click retry. the installation will continue and complete.

Well, 640x480 doesn't have a 16:9 aspect ratio like the original videos so they get distorted... just a thought.
EDIT: oh! it's even lower than that at 640x352, with an aspect ratio of 20/11. The VP6 codec works best with resolutions above 640x480 according to On2 (the company that makes it), you're not getting the best quality to file size ratio by using that.

Resolution would need to be a multiple of 512x288 [VP60 will only play the video if the width is a multiple of 32 and the height is a multiple of 16; with an aspect ratio of 16:9 it would have to be (16/9) * (32/32) = 512/288] The original resolution of 1280x720 is 512x288 * 2.5.

The only possible resolutions I've come up with so far are:
512x288 - lowest while keeping aspect ratio
768x432
1024x576
1280x720 - Original videos, wouldn't make sense to go above this

With a lower resolution you can certainly get away with a lower bitrate and still have it be the same quality as the original (less data per frame), I'd be interested to know if you used 700 for the bitrate for ALL the videos, seeing how the EA logo was only 500 to begin with lol. The in mission videos and a few others are only 190x190 so I don't know if you'd want to shrink those.

@ mondragon

Thanks mate for getting back to me, .. appreciate the help, but I ended up doing it my own way after taking a look at the Original Installation, and looked in the Movie Dir, then realised that the Movie files are only being copied during installation, .... so I ended up doing this and hope it helps anyone else having problems >>>

My way for having C&C3 on 2 DVDs >>

EASY & No messing about with editing the .msi, and works FIRST TIME .....

1. Copy all DVD contents into a Temp folder on your HDD ....

2. Locate the Movie Files Movies.big, MoviesG.big, & MoviesN.big found in:

X:\TEMP FOLDER\program files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3\Movies\1.0

3. Burn ONLY those 3 files onto a DVD (Label name doesn't matter, call it what ever you want, and just write on the Disc something like >> C&C3 Movies

4. Once Movies are burnt onto disc, you can now DELETE those Movie files and replace them with 3 DUMMY Files by simply making 3 .txt files, naming each file with the same names as the Movie files, and change their file extension from .txt to .big ... this then enables the installer to still locate the files even though they are dummys with zero file size and it will install those dummy files during installation .....

OPTIONAL: Add an extra folder to the TEMP Folder to contain your NoDVD Patch and any Updates for the game If you want them included on the Install disc.

5. Make .iso image of TEMP Folder contents & name the Label as DISK1 then Burn ....

6. Install Game ....

7. Once Installation is complete, simply Copy & Paste Original Movies from your C&C3 Movie Disc into the Games Movie Dir overwriting the Dummys ... and you're done !!.

8. Install any Updates & apply No DVD Patch

9. Have Fun !!:cool:

[ArgonFire]

I finished these a while ago, they're resized to keep the proper aspect ratio (16:9; must be multiple of 512x288 to keep with vp6 restrictions) and I resampled the mission videos without noticeable quality loss to save even more space. These should fit on a single DVD5 and still have room for Worldbuilder and patches. I've also reuploaded FREEMAN100's lower quality videos for those who want them.

Argonfire, here's a couple of Rapidshare alternatives you can upload to - I have to say, I was having big problems trying to download from up-file too...

http://www.box.net Max 1Gb
http://www.gigasize.com Max 2GB ?
http://www.quicksharing.com Max 500Mb

I been told that www.rapidmirror.com is worth a closer look too, You do only one ftp-upload and get instantly 5 mirrors (rapidshare, megaupload, fileho, yousendit & depositfiles).

Hope you can find one of these you like and can upload your 3 files to it

Cheers !

Are there any other broken ones?


For the record, I tried resampling the movies myself and I have some watchable, but poor quality movies for the GDI campaign - Interestingly, it fixes the "out of sync" movies / sound issue some people have been getting...

That's really why I made this in the first place, my desktop pc kept having sync problems on all of them except for a few (which turned out to have a lower resolution and bit rate than all the others). It's a Pentium 4 3.0GHz though, older pcs would get better results with bit rates even lower.

I actually still have the batch scripts I used to re-encode everything, so if anyone wants it, it'll be completely unsupported.

Things you'll need:
549 - all the bat files
Avisynth 2.5 (http://avisynth.org/SourceForge) - edits the frames of the video
LimitedSharpenFaster (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/LimitedSharpen) - sharpens image lightly, be sure to put the plugins in avisynth's plugin folder
Some type of .big file extractor

*install the VP6 codec from the folder*
1) Extract Movies.big, MoviesG.big, and MoviesN.big to the CNC3_MovieBat folder. (CNC3_MovieBat\data\movies folder should have all files from the 3 .big files.)
2) run vp62avi.bat
3) run run.bat
4) use VP6Converter005.exe to convert the finished .avi files to .vp6
5) sort.bat can be used to clean out the finished .avi files
6) re-build the .big files with your new videos.
-All Gxx.vp6 files go in MoviesG.big
-All Nxx.vp6 files go in MoviesN.big
-Everything else goes in Movies.big
(don't forget the sound files you extracted earlier!).

[wmplynig]

ArgonFire, you're a gem, thanks very much for uploading these files again - I'm downloading as I type, can't wait to see those movies in their full glory in the game !

Cheers !

Edit: Argonfire, these full motion movies are superb. The quality if far superior to the results that I managed to get. I cannot thank you enough for the time you spent re-encoding these movies and for uploading them for people to use.

can somebody tell me the settings for downsample the avi's with virtualdub?

Tried it, Virtualdub kept crashing on the batch job and it's too much of a headache to do by hand.

Hi.
I want to keep only the English language and re-encode the movies only that much so it will fit *exactly* single DVD5 (~4.3, no space will be wasted). How can I do so without changing resolutions and stuff, only to lower the quality a little bit. 10x.

It's hard to guess what the final file size will be, but you're welcome to edit my batch files and play around with the encoder settings to get the result you want. (extract the files, run vp62avi.bat, then settings.bat) But you should know that without changing the resolution of an encoded video, you'll have to deal with compression blocks. When you have a larger space to fill than the bitrate allows, the encoder simplifies the image into large blobs of color when it runs out of space; large blobs of color are easier to compress. On high resolution video, that space runs out pretty quick.

**FYI: I just noticed a typo on settings.bat, "ECHO AviSource(".\VP6avi\ealogo.avi",..." should read "ECHO AviSource(".\O-avi\ealogo.avi",..."

Anyone wishing to use settings.bat will have to make that change, and it would be a good idea to make backup copies of vp60.conf and vp60m.conf.


@ALL
Yes I still have both FREEMAN100's videos and mine, but they will not be re-uploaded by me given that I have neither the time to waste uploading them or any interest in doing so. Unless someone has a private server (which I do not), they will only end up being deleted again. You can get the same exact results as I did using my batch files below.

I finished these a while ago, they're resized to keep the proper aspect ratio (16:9; must be multiple of 512x288 to keep with vp6 restrictions) and I resampled the mission videos without noticeable quality loss to save even more space. These should fit on a single DVD5 and still have room for Worldbuilder and patches.

My .bat files have been updated to also support the Kane's Wrath expansion, I haven't tested this on any language besides English only, but it shouldn't be hard to fix if there is a problem. Everything is included to get it running (vp6 codec, Avisynth and plugins, .big file editor, etc.). Instructions are in README.TXT, extract everything to C:\CC3_movies.
