video editing software

I want to try to make a music-video using scens from MGS2 and a a track on my PC(haven't decided which yet).

I don't know how legal this would be, if I were to do so I would make sure it is known what the song is, and where the footage is from.

Anyways, I got the scense from MGS2 in .pss format. I can use MMJb to convert the audio tracks.

Any suggestions on getting this done?

TIA, Logan

As long as you're not charging money for them (who would pay? ) AFAIK those are ok. Alot of people did them for UT and Quake, seen some lately for Bf1942 and such too.

Unless the game can save demos in a usable format (most don't) people I know that have done them have just played with TV out going to a VCR, then captured the VCR footage back to the PC with a capture card and encoded them to DivX.

Xayd, I agree, who would pay for what I might create?

I don't plan to record running around, I want to try to use the in-game videos. If you haven't played MGS2, it has a whole lot ofcut scenes, and I want to use those.

Anyone have any idea how to conver the .pss files into something that more editors can read?

TIA, Logan

PSS is a proprietary Playstation format. From what I can find it's essetially just MPEG-2 video and 48k sample rate WAV audio.

There's a tool on the SonyDeveloper site to convert into PSS called PS2str, but as for going the other way I dunno. You may have to record it then feed it back through a capture card to get video.

OK, I found out that I might have access to a PC with a video-capture card(highly un-likely). The problem - The PC in question is down to 2GB free hard-drive space.

Any idea how much space per/minute the videos would take up?

TIA, Logan
