VP6Builder by Siberian_GRemlin in action


The user interface for VP6Builder is pretty simple.
Select the video you wish to encode in the Input video file form and include the .dat audio file you created previously, by clicking the Audio checkbox.

Click on Go! And wait for the builder to create the video.

Once the process is done, you should have a working EA VP6 video.


You'll now need to set up your video for use ingame. It's in the correct file format now, and so is the audio, but not in the right place.
Move the video to Data/Movies, and the MP3 file (you can get rid of the WAV and the DAT) in Data/Audio/Speech (or Lang/English/Data/Audio/Speech if you want the video to be translated to other languages).

That's where the coding begins. Open Data/INI/video.ini, and add a block somewhere in the page with the following information:

              
Code

Video MyVideoIngame
Filename = MyVideo
Comment = "This is my video"
End


I'm not entirely sure whether the Comment is read at all, and the other lines should be rather obvious, the first being the name you will use for references in your coding.

Your video is now entirely ready for use ingame.
But what uses are there exactly ? We will discuss of these in the following page.

"as well as selecting the VP6 0 format when encoding to ensure that the alpha is supported"

Don't you mean VP6 1 for alpha? If I'm not mistaken (and correct me if I am), VP6 0 is the one that doesn't support alpha, that's why palantir videos use VP6 1.

Great tutorial! I'm going to be making my own videos for my mod, so thanks for the information on it. I didn't think that it would be this complicated!
