Mpeg Video Wizard Dvd 5.0 Full Version Free Download
Elpidio Heart
The games that supported this board had a separate version released called the "MPEG version" rather than the same piece of software supporting both the hardware acceleration and the non-hardware accelerated version. the Realmagic versions look for the hardware and try to make some calls to it to render the movies.
1) Conspiracy by Cryo (AKA KGB). In the non-MPEG CD version, Donald Sutherland's character speaks to you in the worst example of full-screen FMV I've ever seen - terrible resolution. I haven't been able to get the MPEG version to play, but it has standard MPEG videos that look much better.
2) Return to Zork - there is FMV in this game in a few places, including the tele-orb with the wizard inside. In the non-MPEG CD version, you get video for the first few times the wizard speaks to you, and then he turns into a still image. With the MPEG version, I believe all of the wizard's dialog is video.
I'm keenly interested to see what the differences are between the two versions. May I ask where you got it? because I'd love a copy for myself.
I always noticed the videos were heavily compressed and I wonder if they are much better looking in this version.
No.
If you haven't noticed, I'm not giving anyone any referral links so I do not stand to benefit from anyone else that joins.
Dropbox is far superior to any other 'free' file sharing service such as rapidshare or megaupload (apart from renting one's own server space).
I am not affiliated with Dropbox, I just find it incredibly useful.
It is your prerogative to deny yourself such a useful tool but you should not enforce that onto others.
DonutKing, it still smells weird, okay mate ? I do not recommend other upload sites like that. But if I should recommend one, then it should be multi upload, but I am not in that kind of business. Second of all, why I am using both megaupload, and multi upload. Is because the shit works, without a problem. And second of all I first learned about multi upload, after I knew about Megaupload. So stop the bollocks, and no worries mate.
I am eager to give it a try with some games. What do I need?
1) Will my model work with the games?
2) What kind of operating system and drivers do I need? I guess Win98 could be fine.
3) Passthought cable? Do I need it? Had anyone seen those? Or even pinouts?
4) Games? Obviously these are hard to find, but I guess eBay is the place. Games supporting the card(s) came bundled with the hardware, right? Is the any more information about those: pictures, YouTube -videos? No demo version of the games, I assume?
There were some stand alone games sold. I use to have a ReelMagic board myself and currently have The Horde, and Psychotron for it. The Horde was a decent game, really your not going to see anything that looks impressive with this board now a days, no one used it for anything other than decoding cut scenes. Since your used to seeing full screen high res fast framerate video I doubt it will impress.
I've since picked up some more of these but have not dumped any of them. I'm still interested in this topic but unfortunately, nobody with skills ever expressed interest in trying to get these games running without the special hardware.
I have a Realmagic Lite card (no inbuilt soundcard). It's a bit of an arse to use because it's ISA, needs a feature connector, there's a very limited selection of games it works with and the drivers are basic too.
For now, only five ReelMagic/REALmagic games are confirmed and available: 'Dragon's Lair', 'Space Ace', 'Return to Zork', 'The Horde' and 'The Psychotron'. I have two versions of the latter one, the later boxed and the earlier jewel-cased edition, but the differences are not significant (mostly typoes fixed).
Unfortunately, there are only two versions of that patch available - for the diskette version and for the (regular) CD version. The RM-version was available on Sigma Design's FTP site - does anybody still have it per any chance?
the source video's media info (in VLC) showed it to be MPEG 2.... so I'm figuring either my Quicktime Pro (with its MPEG 2 component) can't handle it... and this is what prompted me to search the web for an answer.... or
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same situation. VLC plays these .mp4 files but Quicktime and MPEG Streamclip do not. I downloaded the MPEG2 codec. No luck. I'd love to know if there's a better solution than converting everything through VLC. Thanks.
Are these files sourced from BD M2TS files? If so, you can try using VLC to convert the BD PCM audio to AC3 and remux it with the untranscoded video to a transport stream (TS) file container which is then conpatible with MPEG Streamclip. Or, you could simply try converting the files to QT compatible file using HandBrake.
Actually my case is a little different from Ernest's original post in that VLC says only "mpgv" under codec details (doesn't specify MPEG 1/2). It's also 25fps, which shouldn't matter. The audio codec is "twos" I have no idea what that means.
I downloaded HandBrake and tried converting, but it only gave me the option of M4v. I did that and it is now openable with MPEG streamclip and with that I can convert to quicktime. But is this not complete insanity? Is there no better way? Thanks.

HandBrake should only be used to convert the sourced files directly to a final mobile device compression format. It is not recommended for use as a general converter application. As previously stated your primary concern is to load the content into a general conversion application without recompressing the video content. Hopefully this can be done by merely placing the original data in a compatible file container which MPEG Streamclip will accept. In the case of the M2TS data, the BD PCM was not compatible with MPEG Streamclip and had to be converted to a compatible, lower quality audio format before remuxing to the TS file container. In your case, it may be possible that the 16-bit linear PCM audio may be directly acceptable by MPEG Streamclip.
Hi Jon. Thank you for a thorough reply. When I use the VLC Transcode Wizard, it gives me many options, most of which I've never even heard of. I'm assuming I should try MPEG-2 video with MPEG audio, in an MPEG TS encapsulation. Not sure about bitrates, so I chose the highest available. But that produces a file that is one tenth the size of the original, which I'm assuming means I'm compressing, which I don't want to do.
As previously stated, the main idea is to avoid transcoding/recompressing the data altogether if possible. I.e., all you really want to do is put the original data in a different container if possible.
Great! That likely explains your problem. Basically you have two options. My choice would be to use VLC to copy both the current MPEG-4 video and the PCM audio to an MOV file container. When using the wizard, do not select either the audio or the video content for transcoding to a different compression format. Simply continue on to the window that lists the file container options and see if it will allow you to select MOV. A secondary option would be to select the audio for conversion and transcode it to AAC (minimum 160 Kbps @ 48.0 KHz sampling rate) and place the unconverted MPEG-4 video with the converted AAC audio into a new MP4 file container.
- I tried transcoding audio to MPEG at 192 bitrate (it didn't offer AAC option) and encapsulating into MPEG TS. That worked. I am able to open that file with MPEG Streamclip. And I can export into quicktime.
However, it would be much more preferable if I could just encapsulate in .mov with VLC. Do you have any idea as to why no audio or video came through when I didn't check any transcoding boxes and simply encapsulated as .mov ? Why did I get 12 seconds of black with no audio? (my test clip is 12 seconds long).
