How to encode STR video files

[SlavaVlasov]

I know that VCD doesn't use STR format, but it's not a VCD. This is one of the PS1 video discs, recorded in the format of regular game videoclips + there is a player (PSX.EXE) for PS1, which plays STR. Such discs did not require a "Video CD" console model or additional hardware to play them. But here's a special case: this PS1 video disc was stuffed with over 90 minutes of film. On 1 CD. In a normal STR, this length would not fit on 1 disc. According to other people, this is some combination of MPEG1 and ADPCM. Much more interesting, how was such a video container compiled in general and are there similar cases on other PS1 discs?

I've done some batch codes that works with "input" and "output" folders.

Video+Audio (.avi)

Code: Select all

@echo off
cd %~dp0
mkdir Output
for %%a in (input\*.*) do ffmpeg.exe -i "%%a" -vcodec rawvideo -s 320x240 -r 15 -acodec pcm_s16le "output\%%~na.avi"
pause

Audio (.wav)

Code: Select all

@echo off
cd %~dp0
mkdir Output
for %%a in (input\*.*) do ffmpeg.exe -i "%%a" -acodec pcm_s16le -vn "output\%%~na.wav"
pause

Video (.avi)

Code: Select all

@echo off
cd %~dp0
mkdir Output
for %%a in (input\*.*) do ffmpeg.exe -i "%%a" -vcodec rawvideo -s 320x240 -r 15 -an "output\%%~na.avi"
pause

Hey @lameguy64 thanks for this nice tutorial. i´ve made all process to generate a new STR file to insert in my game. I´ve generated the new following your instructions and i´ve test the generated STR in psmplay. Its all ok.

Any tip to remount the bin? i´ve used anyburn to extract to a folde strucutre, identify the original str, change the orignal for the new and now how can i make a new bin? I have the folder sctruture ready to make.

Is it a way to test in any emul using the folder scruture before remake the bin?
Thanks
