KHV Cutscene Archive Update - Torrents

Sanya · Jan 19, 2012

You've been begging for them, and now they're finally here! Today we give you two torrents to start off with. Now you're probably asking why only two? Don't worry, we hope to make more batches in the near future. However, we need to see how many seeders we can get over the next few weeks before we decide if it's worth doing the rest. Here are the two torrents we're releasing (they will be added to the archive soon):

-Kingdom Hearts II Cutscenes (Standard Quality) (Mp4) - 2.84 GB
-Kingdom Hearts Re:COM Cutscenes (English Dub) (.avi) - 480 MB

New to torrents? I'll help you out.

The first thing you'll need is a bittorent client. I highly recommend utorrent 2.2.1. You can use the newer version (3.0) if you want, but a lot of people including myself went back to using this one since it seems to be the best.

Once downloaded and installed, open the provided files and choose where you want them to be saved. Once your download is completed, it will automatically start seeding the torrent as long as you don't move/remove the files or close utorrent. We highly encourage you to seed these torrents as long and as much as you can, so other people can download them faster and help with the seeding.

If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message or post here. Also note the download might be slow at first since I'm the only one seeding at the moment (hence why we need all we can get).

Cheers and happy downloading.

-EDIT- If you are having problems downloading the files with Safari, use Firefox or another browser just to get the torrent file.

In Internet Explorer, right-click the link and select "save-target as" if you are getting the page of text.

I mean rendering live verses being pre-rendered (That is self done terminology, I have no idea how it worded in the business)

A pre-rendered scene (often called an FMV for Full Motion Video) is just a video file that gets cued up once you get there. A live rendered scene is one that simply has the scene composed but not rendered (thus it renders what to put on the screen live). It is just like rendering gameplay just that the player has no control. It ends up being more work on the system but it appears to have worked fine. The only time they swapped out for an FMV because the animation was too much was the 1000 heartless battle. All other FMVs in KH2 were for referencing KH1 models and of course the intro and ending. Like I mentioned before they likely did it that way for the purpose of going "Sora needs to be here and swing his keyblade like so" without dictating what form of Sora or what keyblade. As long as the models are strung up the same way, so to speak, it really doesn't matter what you put in there.

Also, I checked and WLMM does have a blur effect, it is simply too strong. I'm looking for a way to weaken it now.

EDIT: No dice. WLMM doesn't support the adding or editing of effects. I could however help movie blurring if you're willing to use WMM 2.6 or 6.0. Or use the freeware combo of AVISynth and VirtualDub.

Umm, I kinda get it, but only a little. I get things more if it were being shown in front of me. I'm a hands-on kind of person. Just being told it like that only lets me get a little of what goes on.
But I'll just stick with WLMM till I get Vegas. I will get Vegas some day, even if it takes me a few more years(although I hope not).

Also, how long would it take to get the other games into torrents?....Did I phrase that right?

I guess another way to think of it that might be easier is that when something is live rendered, instead of exporting to a file, it gets exported to the screen directly. It is like when you preview an animation in the program, but placed into the final product that way rather than just being a development tool.

ok, that makes it better. So, now I might be getting this wrong, it's basically throwing whatever your character looks like and is using into the scene instead of having it pre-made so it always looks like, well whatever it was made to look like.

So close. 720p is HD. KH2 is near 450p but it isn't even exactly that, nor is it even constant. Native resolutions get funky. But in the end it is designed to be displayed at 480p at any rate.

minus the jargon, 480p not 720p *slap on wrist*

Here is a split test if it helps

As for the jagged model edges (what I assume you were referring to as seeing pixels all over the place) that is how they truly look. Many SD games have a level of reliance on the fact that it will drop in quality by the time it hits your screen and you shouldn't be inspecting them that closely. Thankfully due to the way that cutscenes are done in Kingdom Hearts, I can theoretically fix that. But it will take additional work. In the mean time you can download the low quality scenes (granted they are not all there anymore) or you can apply a small blur or soften effect to the SD cutscenes if you really want to get rid of them.

Oh goodness, I didn't realize the comparison makes the low quality so inferior. I knew it had smaller resolution and had the text in it, but this really shows the difference well. Maybe having such things in the cutscene archive to show the difference will really help if this hasn't already been done.

The higher quality, the better in my opinion. Its easier to mess with effects when its really good quality clips.
