Hey,

I need a bit of help with the renegade intro movies, I've tried replacing them with other .bak files with the same name and all, but when i go ingame they lack sound. I remember about a year ago someone posted a solution on the APB forums, but I can't find it. Does anyone know how to fix this so the movie I place in the folder plays it's music?

I'm converting a short AVI to the bak with the RAD video tools.

Help would be appreciated.

Yeah... it should be .bik. Maybe you're putting the wrong file in there? I think when you convert something to .bik it makes a .bak too.

err, yeah i mean .bik I was tired.

Anyway, it's been a problem for ages, trying to replace the APB intro, but the file never has sound. Not sure if it's the encoding, or if somethings just weird. I remember about a year or two ago someone posted a solution for it, but I've forgotten it, and that was on the old APB boards which have been lost.

Trying to make a new intro video for APB, but if there is no sound, it's kinda pointless.

Ask the *old* Reborn team? I know they replaced the EA intro movie in the *old* beta they have released a year or so ago.

Tryed setting the Audios BitRate to a higher level on the .AVI?

Could work.


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Dunno if this would help, but it's on the FAQ.

Quote:

When I compressing or converting some movies, I don't get any sound or I get an "error opening audio file" message - what's up?

The RAD Video Tools uses QuickTime to import compressed sound formats. Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime from www.apple.com installed with all of the optional components. Since almost all computers have QuickTime installed, this usually means that the optional components are missing. To fix this, redownload QuickTime and choose "custom" installation - then mark all of the optional components and wait for everything to be downloaded and installed.

If that doesn't help, then you may be trying to convert a protected movie. QuickTime allows the movie creators to mark a movie as playback only - no saving or exporting allowed. When this happens, Bink can still read the video, but the audio is locked into the QT file. This is just a QuickTime copy protection feature - there is no way around it.
