At the moment the 'tools' are a bunch of command line kludges written in machine code that run in DOS. (I'm old OK...)

If I get time I'll stick a GUI on top and make them usable, but at the moment I'm doing a few extractions so it is quick for me to add specific ones to the list while I am at it.

Or, I could just extract the entire discs to their files, (i.e. unpack the bundle files into the 4000 or so actual files that are on the discs) and then other people could go about decoding the video files, jpegs etc. using the tools that are already out there. I just haven't got time to go through all the files and do the conversions, but I can quickly change my code to unpack the entire discs.

This would leave you with all of the jpgs and text, and all of the video in lucasarts file formats (which there are converters out there that will then convert those to an avi or an image sequence) and then you guys can go nuts converting each piece of video for your own projects.
