We just got our shiny new import copy of Soul Calibur 2 from our good friends at Video Game Depot (order now!), and put Link to the test. We've got the full intro and Link playing in a bunch of different battles. Warning: If you don't want to see the final boss in Arcade Mode, don't watch Movie #8.
We've decided to encode these videos 2 ways: Windows Media 9, and MPEG. Don't forget to right click and save this file to your computer.
*You will need Windows Media Player to view the Windows Media Files.

I appreciate the extra work that you put in to support those of us that can't seem to make Windows Media Player work.

I only have 10MB of webspace per account, and I have devoted this account entirely to serving this movie, but I had to cut a corner to do so. The original movie for the conversion was the MPEG version of course, but the audio was too big. As it stood, if I had kept the audio quality at the size it was, it would have taken 4MB, and I wasn't prepared to sacrifice THAT much video quality for a barely perceptible gain in audio. I think the end result is fairly good considering that I don't have the original for the movie, and compression artificts exist for both the MPEG and Divx formats. Nevertheless, I still think it's better than the WMV version, and if the audio was at full quality, it would be at about the same size.
Audio format: 128kBit/s, 44100 Hz Stereo. 2 channel MPEG Layer 3.
Video format: 380kBit/s, 352x240, 29.970fps, Divx 5.03.
Video was rendered at almost 60fps, total time being ~1:30 on an Athlon XP 1800+ at stock speeds.
Anyways, I hope I don't get into trouble for this, but I would appreciate staff comments.
