I need some help men.
I've been trying to extract and convert all cutscenes from Heroes Chronicles, HOMM3 and HOMM4.
I might compile all text and audio from Chronicles campaigns chronologically too.
I'm using MMarchive, H4unpacker, and RAD Game Tools. I've run into some problems.
I've got unplayable BINK files from HOMM3/Chronicles, I've got files without audio, I've got some files that cannot be converted. I've reextracted and reattempted conversion (to .avi) of the intro to HOMM4 many times, nuffin works.
Has anyone else ever tried to do this? What sort of things could be causing these problems? Are there any good alternatives to RAD Game Tools? I'd prefer converting all the .bik and .smk files with no loss of quality, so .avi conversion is not ideal.
Edit: Should mention that I plan on doing the same for HOMM2. What programs are good to use for that?
NEED HELP - Extracting videos from HOMM 3, 4, Chronicles
For Chronicles or HOMM3, I open the .lod files in MMarchive, then extract them. I then batch convert all .bik and .smk files to .avi, highest quality, convert audio to 16 bit stereo.
For HOMM4, I open and extract .bik files with h4unpacker, then batch convert - same procedure. All videos for HOMM4 went fine, except for the intro videos (intro.bik, wowintro.bik, and stormintro.bik iirc), which were unplayable and unconvertable.
HOMM2 seems to use a .hs file format. Any tools that can unpack those?
All games are GOG versions.
