An English-speaking Cloud and the rest of the survivors of Midgar have now docked at Uncle Sam's ports (assuming that you read this today - April 24). A night's rest is all that's needed before we finally get our hands on American UMD copies of the highly anticipated straight-to-movie sequel of Final Fantasy VII.

» cant rip
Everyone thinks if you buy the DVD you can just rip it and convert it for PSP. Sorry to tell you, but I've tried about 12 rippers on it, none of which work. They don't like how its structured or something so if you want English on PSP, you have to get the UMD.

» ripping is easy
I ripped my monty python dvd to psp in less than 15 minutes and compressed 90 minutes of film into an ok quality 300 meg..
I dont get why sony keeps shooting itself in the foot with this whole forced updates on umd movies...
I would definitely have atleast 10 more umd games and 5 umd movies by now if they actually ran on my 1.0 psp... stupid sony.
Guess i will get ff7ac on dvd when it reaches the uk like next year :(
Hopefully it has eng & jap audio... otherwise i will get the jap version, with or without subs! :)

» #23, back again
Good to see I'm not alone in noticing the sucky dubbing. I know enough basic Japanese as well to know when they "Mickey Mouse" up stuff, as #26 so rightfully put it.
WHY can't they just stick to the script? Too many times people think that they have the right to change anything they want about the movie, including the people's names at times (thankfully not in this). Yet they would have a cow if someone changed some of their precious Hollywood movies around.
If the original writer wanted to say "It's cold out...let's get some hot sake." Don't say something stupid like "Let's get a cold beer" in the dub since we don't drink Sake here and not even realize how stupid and non-equivalent that phrase is. Sure, some americans won't get all the references, but that's why they need to read a book. Not sure how much (if any, to be fair) of things like this is in the AC dub, but I wouldn't put it past them.
#24 had a good point bringing up the poor quality of the actors. There's a difference between sounding laid back (as Yazoo does at times) and sounding DEAD like the english dub actor made him sound. Sounding arrogant like (Kadaj does at times) and sounding like a spoiled brat like the english actor sounded. And being the strong, silent type (Loz) and sounding like a dumb oaf in the english.
"Kaa-san wa doku da?" rolled off Loz's tongue in the original. Sounded like he was having a hernia when he shouted "WHERE'S MOTHER" in the dub.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. There is NO excuse for it being that bad after making us wait for two years.

» Easy way to transcode
Yeah, it's really easy to transcode videos once you get used to it. Here's a link to help you: http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=18827
It has links to what you'll need: Decrypter, PocketDivx and PSPVideo9. I got confused with his directions since the programs didn't do exactly what he said.
He probably knows more of what he's talking about, but I for one found that I like doing it this way (which is mostly his way, but with my tweaks):
1) Download and install all the programs if you don't already have them. I suggest downloading both version 3.51 and 3.6 of PocketDivx (each has their perks)
2) Insert your DVD of choice into your drive.
3) Open Decrypter and set the mode to "IFO" mode.
4) In the window on the right side of Decrypter, select the steam you want (usually the longest one--first or second 99% of the time)
5) Right click on the stream and set file splitting to 'none'
6) Select the destination folder
7) Hit the big DVD > Hard drive button
8) Wait (usually takes about 5-10 mins). When it's done it will play a fruity jingle. Check the file to make sure it's the right one, I like to open it with VLC Player (I'd go ahead and rename the VOB first from the default name to whatever you want it to be, this will make it easier to find if you rip a lot of DVDs to the same folder)
If you want it converted into .avi format, follow the next few steps. If not, skip ahead to number 15.
9)Open PocketDivx
10) Select the PC icon (click ok if it says something about the dimensions)
11) Under step 1 select the VOB file that you ripped.
12) Under step 2 select the destination folder for the .avi file
13) Set all the sound and video quality settings to the max
14) Hit 'add to the list' if you have more than one you want to encode and repeat steps 11-14. If not, hit 'Encode Now'. When it's done it will let you know but it usually takes a while.
15) Open PSPVideo9 and under 'Setup > settings' choose your profile. For widescreen DVDs I like to use the setting 10th from the bottom. The one under the 1500 setting. This will usually result in a file size between 300-500 MB, depending on the length of the movie.
16) Save your settings and go to 'convert'
17) Hit the 'one-click transcode' button and select your VOB file. Hit ok and sit back and wait till it's done.
There you have it. It may seem like a lot at first, but after you do one or two it's a piece of cake. I honestly didn't know it was that many steps until I wrote it out. Trust me, it becomes second nature.

"Why do i need the PocketDivx when i can just use the PSP video 9?"
That's why I said: "If you want it converted into .avi format, follow the next few steps. IF NOT, SKIP AHEAD TO NUMBER 15."
I wasn't yelling just then, just wasn't sure if I could use bold by putting it in [b].
But yeah, I stated that you don't have to use Pocket Divx unless you want to make it an .avi. Pocket Divx doesn't really have a need unless you are working with .ogm or .mkv files. You know, files with subtitles. In which case, you can use it to hardcode subtitles onto the .avi.
So if you have any dual layer anime like I do, you can do it like that. I found that's the best use for it. And for turning files into .avi if you want to make things like AMVs out of them, which I do all the time.

Sorry, had a little cough there.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that this particular movie was done in japanese first, THEN they had to make their voices match almost perfectly( if you bought the special edition DVD set you'd know this as the actors mention how hard it was to do so :P). Also, the emotions and emphasis they had to put into eveything they said made the voices soun d different then they would had they been speaking in japanese. So, basically, if you can't do better, then stfu ;-) !
