is there any way to convert an mpq file, such as the awesome ones used in warcraft 3, into any usable video format(divx mpg avi mpeg1/2 mov rm, doesnt really matter)? it would really help me out.
i'm going to answer my own question, rather stupid if i must say, but at least i'll be helping others in the same predicament. Here is the process that i used: 1) rename the extension of the mpq file to .avi 2) Use EO Video Converter to convert the AVI to an mpg using the VCD(MPEG-1) profile; or you could try one of the other profiles-i've just found that this is sufficient for my needs. 3) Click convert, wait while it converts, enjoy.
Much easier method! 1. Find the MPQDAT file (google) 2. Get the MPQ Extractor (google) 3. Open up the MPQs, extract the BIK/SMK files 4. Get the Bink and Smacker Player (free) 5. Convert to AVI 6. Encode as needed! Just read your post again.... "usable format"... BIK/SMK is usable._X_X_X_X_X_[small]ASUS A7V8X-X, AMD2500+ Samsung 1024MB, PC2700 360GB [3x120GB, 7200, 8MB] MSI Starforce, GeForce4 Ti4400 128MB AFTERDAWN IRC: irc.emule-project.net, #ad_buddies COME SAY HI![/small]
