Request: CoP Opening

[CRtwenty]

I've been hearing a lot about the opening movie to CoP, so I was wondering if somebody could record it and post it here. Thanks in Advance. :spin:

[Katsushiro]

I recorded the intro movie, but I need to figure out a way to compress it from 800MB to something a little more reasonable. (I'm a total newb when it comes to making movies...)

[CRtwenty]

Hmmm... what form is it in now? A lot of people seem to compress it using the DiVX codec, and then compress it even more using something like Winzip, or WinRAR before hosting it.

[Katsushiro]

It's an .avi file. I haven't touched it since Fraps recorded it, if that gives you any additional info. I'll start looking for some encoder/compressor whatever...

[Katsushiro]

Woo. Found what I was looking for. Encoded and zipped. I just need somewhere to host it now...

[Katsushiro]

Alright...finally got everything together. Here is the finished product:

Chains of Promatia: Intro 25.5MB
(Right-click > Save as...)

The words at the bottom got blurred in the compression process (yes, I know that I'm a n00b), so I also put together a little dialog for you to follow along with. There was also a little LS chat in there. I wasn't really intending to share this video with anyone, but since it was requested...I figured, "What the hey...".

Hope you like it:

Crooked Arrow: Why do we have to wait out here? What do they think we are, door boys? It's like they don't trust us...
Wolfgang: Quiet, soldier. You were ordered to stand by, note whine like a child.
Crooked Arrow: Sir, yes sir!
Wolfgang: But what really is going on in there...? Why did the society call for out assistance...?
...
Wolfgang: Crooked Arrow! Men! Ready your weapons and fall in!
(Some-Taru): Captain! The door...
Wolfgang: Follow me and keep on guard!

Wolfgang: What the...!?
Wolfgang: What the hell happened here...? Are there any survivors?
(Some-Elvaan): Captain!
Wolfgang: What is it, soldier?
(Some-Elvaan): I've found someone. He's...he's just a boy.
...
Wolfgang: He's still breathing. If we can revive him, he might be able to tell us what on Vana'diel happened here.
(Some-Elvaan): What are your orders, sir?
Wolfgang: Get me Monber... Someone call the Infirmary!
