Download for movie 3 dont work.

I click the "Download Now" button,and it goes to the page where it tells you to wait for the download or "click here" to download... But Then it just goes back to the first apage.

The other 2 movies download just fine.

sigh..

I really wanted #3. LOL.

I love Das Boot themed mods, so thanks for this one! It's all about submersion - er, I mean immersion.:)

I only have a 16:10 so I can't test this, but on a 16:9 screen the video should appear perfectly (as in not stretched).
Can anyone with a 16:9 screen please confirm this for me?

Able72 04-11-10 10:25 AM

Oddly enough, either its my eyes or what I"m not sure, but it doesn't seem to be streatched out at all on my 4:3 22" CRT Monitor.

*edit* nope, its smashed in the sides. It didn't show up in the Alarm!! sequence, but in the departure one it became apparent that all those slow moving people were looking taller and skinnier than they should. Hmm. . . guess I'll have to figure out how to convert video to .bik format.

*edit* ok, downloaded RAD tools, took a look at the video. its in a 4:3 format, but it appears to have been squished to that from its native aspect ratio.

Yoram777 04-11-10 10:43 AM

Able, Could you send me a screenshot of the video on you 4:3 screen please?

Able72 04-11-10 03:32 PM

Hi Yoram777
Very beautiful mod!
So I have made the version of your mod in 4:3 screen for Departure, with the musical base of "Deutschland über alles". Can I propose it in Subsim with your permission? I have also changed the volume of the music, gramophone and radio.

Thanks able,
It doesn't look as bad as I expected actually... (I don't own a 4:3 screen anymore so this is the first time I got to see it :))
(btw, you might be looking forward to torpedo's work, in the post above ;))

Thx a lot 4 the mod! Great work! Excuse me for bad knowledge of language.:oops:
Recently has looked Das Boot and i was very impressed! As it seems to me, this mod perfectly fits for the menu in SH V.
Can it would be necessary to make sounds of alarm and shouts of crew during immersing on background? Just make them more silent than a musical background that did not irritate.

Frantic8882 10-09-10 09:16 AM

Could you please re-up the 2nd video (alarm)? FF won´t let me have it.THX

4:3 version of Das Boot Departure Theme Corrupt
 
I recently downloaded Torpedo's 4:3 version of Das Boot Departure, but the last 10-15 sec of the video is corrupt (blocky mosaic garbled).:nope:
I thought maybe it was a bad download, so I downloaded the 4:3 version again today. Sadly the download now reported a CRC error for the video file, it can't even be opened.:nope:

I tried to find a method to convert Yoram's original video file's aspect ratio to better fit widescreen format without everything looking too cramped, but I don't have the necessary tools (nor skill) to do it myself.:cry:

I kindly ask you guys, Torpedo or Yoram777, now to make new widescreen aspect conversion (that works until the end). I realize that there might be black ribbons on top and bottom, but that's OK. :salute:

I'm sure many others would appreciate such a marvelous main menu background, too.:yeah:

ustahl 11-09-10 06:37 AM

Grreattt!!
 
Hello Torpedo!

No errors any longer! Now you got it spot on right!! :yeah: With that I mean the 4:3 version, which gives the correct aspect ratio on my 1680*1050 widescreen monitor. The black ribbons on top & bottom are correct, too, as they are obscured in the game's main menu screen anyway. That means that ingame nothing is lost from the video. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Mille grazie!:salute:

Out of interest: what tool/utility did you use to convert Yoram's original version into this format?:06:

Sidenote: The 4:3 version having the spot on correct aspect ratio for a 16:9 monitor, I think you might consider changing its name, as widescreen monitors definitely are not 4:3 (that was the old crt!). That said, maybe the 2 other versions are unnecessary?:hmmm:

Anyway, thanks again! :woot:

Torpedo 11-09-10 11:53 AM

Hi ustahl!
Have you tried the 16:9 version? This version should be the right one for your monitor 1680 * 1050. I would not be wrong.
Can you try the 16:9 version?. Or can you make a screen of the version 4:3 that you have downloaded and activated? My monitor is 1280 *1024.

Thanks!!!!
Torpedo

ustahl 11-09-10 03:44 PM

Hi Torpedo,

I tried all three of them, first with RAD Video Tools, then in SH5. Only the 4:3 version looks right in SH5 on my 16:9 monitor, the other two look distorted, squashed horizontally -> everything is too thin. In the 4:3 version they have correct proportions. Your own monitor is 4:3, maybe that causes some confusion? Anyway, here are some screenshots for comparison:

What tool/utility did you use to make the 4:3 version?
