***Kaal's "SW Video Games Cutscenes" Project***
Time
I've just successfully installed Jedi Knight on VirtualPC (PC Windows emulator for Mac) and I've done some screens of the menus
Now, for the in-game screens, it's more complicated cause, you know, VirtualPC is not able to emulate 3D card, so, I've installed the game with the minimum configuration.

Here is an in-game screen, could you tell me if it's far from the best quality available with the game, or is it good enough?

Wow! I'm very interested!
I was planning to make a rip from Bounty Hunter, but I'm french, and I only have the french dubbed cutscenes...
So, it would be a pleasure to make a DVD for Bounty Hunter! The cutscenes in this game are beautiful (made by ILM and Skywaker Sound!), and Jango has Temuera Morrison's voice!

If you want, PM me to see how you could send them to me

BTW, I have some questions:
- What was your ripping method?
- The videos are PAL or NTSC?
- It seems that your screenshots have a bad ratio. I hope it's not the case for the videos, no?

Anyway, thanks for your (very first) post, and welcome to the "Original Trilogy" forums!

Ok. All the videos have been assembled, with titles at the begining of each cut-scene. The DVD menus are under construction!

For the menus, I'll need some material. I've found some (very)low-res paintings from the "Dark Forces" graphic stories, which could be cool to have for backgrounds. Anyone has hi-res (or "mid-res", it will be enough) versions of those paintings?

I'll also need screenshots, from the menus, the levels (between 5 and 10 per level). I'm not sure, but I think there were briefing screens at the begining of each level, no? If yes, some screens would be welcome!

Me too! I've downloaded all the Star Wars (and the other LucasArts) soundtracks on Laserschewert's webiste, before LucasArts ask him to remove all the Star Wars and Indy content. BTW, I'm the guy who gave Laserschwert the KOTOR II mp3s, and asked him a cover for that

So, concerning the cut-scenes titles, thank you very much!

You're right, there's no Jedi Knight soundtrack. I was talking about the Dark Forces soundtrack, but forgot to mention it...

Host your picture at imageshack.us (or any similar site). After that, you'll have the direct link to your picture. So, you can choose to just give the link here, or post the picture. For that, you just have to put your direct link as follow:

To be honest, it is already planed!
I have the soundtrack (the laserschwert version) and I've though about putting it (as well as the other non-john williams soundtracks, for the other game DVDs) as a DVD-ROM content.

So, I've converted all the Jedi Knight videos and now, I really need the cut-scenes titles, as well as game menus screenshots.
Anyone can help, please?

You could include the original darkforces cut scenes on the disc as an extra, gotta love the crappy computer animation

maybe add this trailer, but it is low resolution: trailer


Well, I think I'll make 1 DVD just for Dark Forces. It will not be long, for sure...

The trailer is the same I have, but thanks for the help!


BTW, I've never played the "Mysteries of the Sith" add-on: is there any cut-scenes in it?

I would suggest putting in some explanation of what happened in the game up to the cutscene point. I would think that cutscenes by themselves might be hard to understand without it.

Yeah, I'm working on it, but I think I'll have to find a very detailed walkthrough, cause I can't play the game, and I don't remember exactly what happen in each level.
But, in another way, I'm making these DVDs to preserve the "cut-scenes" themselves. At this time, I'm not sure to want to make a "movie" with that... I don't know...
Wait and see

For bonus material, you most certianly need to include the parodies of Star Wars as written by Woody Allen, Seinfield, Tarantino, etc that were included on the wonderful parody game Star Warped...

Those are classic, hell, that game is classic...Pizza-Flippin Greedo anyone?


I'd prefer to put bonuses that have more relation with the project. Thoses parodies are cool, but not enough "Jedi Knight-related", I think...

Just now I'm working on "KJ001 - Jedi Knight Cut-scenes"

I'm using "Smacker Player" for Mac OSX to play the .smk videos, and "SnapzPro" for the capture (there's no smk converter on Mac), and the quality seems pretty good for now



I already have these cutscenes on dvd, taken straight from the game disc, including the 'dark side' ending. I could send you a copy in exchange for you're finished disc when you're done


Could you put here a screenshot of your videos? I'll see what it looks like, compare to my "convertion".
Anyway, thanks for the help

Ok, I'm starting my project to put the Star Wars videogames cut-scenes onto DVDs !
For info, I'm working on a Mac, with the simple but powerfull tools "iMovie HD", "iDVD 5" and "Quicktime Pro". I think I'll make 1 DVD per game, at least for the games which have a good list of cut-scenes.
The DVDs will be NTSC or PAL, depending of the source videos.

Here are the current projects:
- Knights of the Old Republic (from the Mac version)
- Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II (from the PC version)
- Rebel Assault II (from the Mac version)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just now I'm working on "KJ001 - Jedi Knight Cut-scenes"

I'm using "Smacker Player" for Mac OSX to play the .smk videos, and "SnapzPro" for the capture (there's no smk converter on Mac), and the quality seems pretty good for now

I've played the game years ago on a friend's PC, but I don't have any PC now, and some help would be welcome! Here is what I need:

-> The names of the cut-scenes: if I remember well, in the game there's a "videos" menu with the list of all cut-scenes of the game. So, if anyone could give me the complete list with all the names, it could be cool (btw, if someone could send me a screenshot of that menu...)

-> As bonus material, I'll put some galleries: "Concept Art" and "In-game Screenshots", so I'll need some artwork (all that isn't in the official website), and screenshots from all the levels (between 5 and 10 per level would be great).

-> I've also found a trailer, but it's pretty small (320x150), so if you have a higher version, I'm interested !

-> I'm also interested in Menus screenshots and... anything you might think good to see on that DVD!

Thanks in advance!


Update !
The "Jedi Knight Cutscenes DVD" is done! See my Release Thread!

Thank you kindly.
I do have Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and curious as to how I should go about extracting the cut scenes from that. Should I go 'explore CD'? Any help will be most appreciated.


The DFII scenes are one of the few that can be easily accessed from the cds. I already have these on dvd, and another forum user is putting together a proper dvd presentation


Cool. What is the format? I believe it's BinkVideo, no?
