[Guide] Getting video into FoFiX 4.0 Alpha

Hello Everyone!
Sunny here and this is my first post
OK, lets get back on topic.


How to get video to play in FoFiX 4.0 Alpha

You will need:
A video encoder that can convert the videos into .ogv format (unless it already is)

ffmpeg2theora - http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/download.html
To use the latest version of this encoder (ver 0.27), you will need to do the following:
for example I placed the encoder here: D:\Downloads\ogv_encoder
Batch file approach > Type this in notepad:

Code: Select all

cmd
D:\Downloads\ogv_encoder

Save it with a .bat extension.
Every time you run the .bat extension file you type in

Code: Select all

ffmpeg2theora-0.27 videoname.avi

and it will convert the .avi to .ogv

or you can also use (not sure if it works properly):
Theora Converter .NET - http://sourceforge.net/projects/theoraconverter/
SUPER Video Converter - http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html (bottom of the site)

When you have the .ogv file
This is just how I got it to work but it seems there is more than one option.
Put the .ogv file into a specific song folder (you will only see the video when you play that song)
Click on song.ini and add the line:

Code: Select all

video = videoname.ogv

Playing the game
First you need to enable the video,
go to Options > Display > Stage Options
and change this - Stage Selection : <video>
and hopefully you will see the video when you play the song with the video in the same folder.

Note: You might wanna speed up your video a bit before converting...

Just curious...

*How do you make the video start before the song (like during the countdown)?
*(with regards to above) When should we start videos from the GH and RB series?
*Is there an exact amount to speed the video up before conversion?

Theora .NET converter dont worked here.

If you trying to put video in RockBand/Guitar Hero songs, you need edit the video to sync to the sound.

Trying with know your enemy music video *-*

Making charts with video backgrounds for Phase Shift, I've been finding it's ultimately much simpler to just get a video, rip the audio stream from that and use it as the chart audio. No sync issues.

Ok, but in rock band/guitar hero song (alterady charted) its the way, put the video and play, but i cant '-'
