You may recall my post about <a href=\"http:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/solid-snake-oggs\/\">MGS using Ogg Vorbis for audio<\/a>. In addition to the vox.dat file, there is another resource file called movie.dat. I don&#8217;t know why I wasn&#8217;t too interested in this file before; maybe because I didn&#8217;t remember any pre-rendered FMV in MGS (it is primarily real-time rendered). But when I really think about it, I remember there was a small number of ponderous cut scenes that used some regular film-type material.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/extractor-gtk\">Reimar&#8217;s Extractor-GTK tool<\/a> makes short work of both the vox.dat and movie.dat resource archives. Guess what Reimar noticed in certain files living inside movie.dat? The signature &#8217;13PV&#8217;, or VP31 backwards. So you know the drill: <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.multimedia.cx\/index.php?title=Metal_Gear_Solid_VP3\">Wiki page<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/samples.mplayerhq.hu\/game-formats\/mgs1-vp3\/\">samples<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The data at the start of the file definitely looks like VP31 (e.g., the bytes starting with hex 32 00 08 in mgs1-40.bin). The files are probably pure video (audio and subtitles are stored elsewhere). It is currently unknown how frames are split up in the file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reimar and I were poking at Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes again.
