Battlestations: Midway (DVD9 to 2x DVD5)

[diALt0nE]

I am always looking for ways to convert to DVD5, so here is what I did with BSM.

I brought this game down to just 1 DVD, but it took a good part of 2 days for the conversion process..

On the DVD under the Program Files folder, the movies are there in BIK format. The main movie dir has BIK files with 5.1CH audio, the 2 sub dirs have no audio. The conversion process is quiet long.

Get hold of RadGameTools & convert all the videos to 65% of its original, remove the check box on 'Compress Audio'. Extract all 5 channels of audio files from the original, select your movie & convert only the audio, choose the channel to convert 'Input from track' choose 0-4, 0 being CH1 and 4 being CH5 and save them like this for example main-0.wav, main-1.wav (-0, -1, -2, -3, -4 = 1-5 channels).

Once the movies are converted, insert the 5 audio files back into the video files 'Mix in sound'. Select the -0 files & insert it as track 0, select -1 & insert it as track 1, same with tracks 2-4.

Once this is complete, you can replace the old video files on the DVD with the new ones you have just created & you can burn the game to 1 DVD.

Converted videos quality is barely noticable from original...
Enjoy
