I used a couple, like Movavi Video Converter and SUPER but the one I used for the newest files is Windows Media Encoder Series 9.
I used a tutorial from this forum.
I'll post the two newest videos I converted in a bit.

So did WME work out then?

I'll let you know when I can get to it.  If you used WME I can almost guarantee that it worked right if you followed the instructions.

The two last videos I converted can be found here:

04 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - NES (WMV8 test)
28 - Die Hard - NES (WMV8 test)

If anyone wants to test these for themselves or check them to see if they are converted correctly, please do and tell me if they work.

[ressurectionx]

I should be able to look at them sometime tomorrow if my PC is clean by then.  I'll let you know.

Thanks man,

Okay,

dpolsrod is all set and is getting the AVGN collected for us.

I was hoping somebody would be interested in collecting video game commercials as well.

Currently, I'm going through all of mine and de-duping them.  I'll make a spreadsheet saying which ones we have so you'll know.  The SNES commercials I have are pretty slim pickens, but I looked on YouTube and they have quite a few there that I don't have.

All ripped videos sent to me either need to be in AVI format or WMV8 format.  If they're given to me in WMV but it's not WMV8, it will not convert to XMV.  Unless you know what that means, please just send the AVI file.  There are plenty of ways to rip YouTube movies into AVI format.

Thanks,
~Rx

I've got about 6gb of video game & console commercials. Ripped 'em off an X-Box I fixed for some guy. Only about 70mb of it is SNES, the rest is for other systems.

PM me if it's of any use.

that's quite alot of videos.. i'm sure some of them are very wanted

I will definitely take a close look at the list when I'm through organizing what I have.  It looks like I probably have most of that stuff.  It looks like your standard mass-download fair.  I've actually combined about 10 torrents to get my collection to where it is now.  There were MANY duplicates in there, and I always made sure to keep the best looking/sounding ones.

I'm sure there's some stuff in there we can use though.

We're definitely going to need somebody to rip vids off of YouTube at some point.  Who's going to do it so I have one less thing to do?

If people supply me with youtube links I already have a youtube-multi-scraper finished ready to roll.
EDIT1: if someone has the time to collect 13161346 youtube links for me i'll scrape them all in one go.
EDIT2: before i gave up my own project i downloaded 2387 youtube videos from links with gameplay
EDIT3: links could be any "format":
 * "www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ3clCcwHFc"
 * "www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMFdeYwPEQQ&feature=related"

Boy these commercial videos are a ton of work.  I've been at it all day.

I'm merging about 6 new t0rrent downloads with the hundreds of videos I had before.  TONS of dupes in many different sizes and file formats.  I'm doing my best to select the best ones and to go with AVI when I can since I know I can convert the AVIs without a problem.



I have two questions for the group, regarding videos:

1) Now that wimpy has made a scraper and only needs the links for the missing videos, would somebody be interested in collecting the links on YouTube for the missing videos?  I'd only be interested in videos for actual games, so don't be scared that you'd have to try to find "system" or "other" videos and try to figure out which ones are which.

2) Could somebody tell me what the best (easiest) way to convert flv, mpeg, mpg to either AVI or directly to WMV8 so we can get the oddballs on the Box?

Thanks,
~Rx

About youtube links for commercials. if someone has time to collection loads of youtube links i'd want the links in a PM or TXT file from megaupload. Let me know and I'll start.

[Mega Man (?)]

Sounds like a huge task!
I think that you guys are going about it the right way and I am glad you are gonna weed out all of them with the highest quality ones.
My only fear is that "youtube" has been know to have the crappiest quality videos (although it has gotten better within the last year)

How big are these "commercial packs" gonna be...? 1TB each...?
Keep up the good work.  

[ressurectionx]

There's actually not too many commercials when you weed out the clones and consider I'm only doing systems that I'm covering in the Xtras project.

So far, the commercials I have in pre-WMV format are 1.79GB.
