In my quest to re-encode them to an aspect ratio that will look right on widescreen monitors, I've discovered the PC version's FMVs suffer significantly in quality compared to the other versions: Users have figured out how to have Silent Hill 2 run at a 16:9 widescreen ratio by patching the game's executable with a new resolution and FoV, but unfortunately this makes the prerendered FMVs look stretched. *** Silent Hill 2 FMV Widescreen Enhancement Pack v1.0 *** This is from angular graphic's notes on the original FMV Enhancement Pack: Anyone know if it's possible to program the game to run at 60 FPS but only during cutscene playback? I hope that one day, players can choose to run the game at 30 FPS and the cutscenes at 60 FPS (for an authentic SH2 experience). I think I may convert all of them to 60 FPS and see if I can clean the image quality up even more. So basically, this is potentially great news for people who've wanted to play through the game with the 60 FPS cutscenes. Otherwise, the video pauses intermittently during playback and just plain sucks. Also, the game has to be set to run at 60 FPS. I'm not sure what happened the first time. I tested it 3 more times and it worked perfectly afterwards. It's true 60 FPS.īad news: The first time I tested it, the game stopped responding when I tried to skip the cutscene halfway through playback (using the escape key). The result is an incredibly smooth video playback, and (in my opinion) indistinguishable from the original PS2 cutscenes. The program adds artificial frames between the existing ones by "guessing" what happens between the two. Good news!: I have been able to successfully convert the videos from 30 FPS to 60 FPS using a video editing program.
