Known issues

Application occasionally crashes when closed, resulting in some temp files not being cleaned up. (Solution: run Vidsquish again, then close the application using the drop-down menu opened by clicking on the Vidsquish icon to the top-left of the window. This close button will force a cache purge)



Vanquish profile has no audio, some videos are incompatible, converted videos do not fill the screen (game issue, requires mod to fix)

WARNING

Vidsquish profiles modify files on your PC. While having support for external profiles is great, so is the danger of poorly-written or malicious profiles designed by other users! If in doubt, it is strongly recommended to only use profiles included with Vidsquish. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY COME TO YOUR PC AS A RESULT OF THIRD-PARTY PROFILES!

Vidsquish is a GUI-based application for compressing and customizing full motion cutscenes for a range of video games. Using a powerful profile system, Vidsquish makes it possible to adapt a single set of features to a variety of formats, handling every step of the process with only a few clicks (and a lot of patience).With Vidsquish, your cutscenes can be:if you have the free space for it. Vidsquish will do its best not to corrupt your data if it is interrupted, but after conversion there's no going back to your videos' original state. Alternatively, if you don't have the free space for a backup, you can always run a Verify Integrity of Game Files operation to restore the original videos from the internet.Vidsquish does not require installation. Simply extract the application to the directory of your choice and run Vidsquish.exe.With the program downloaded and running, you'll be presented with the main user interface:Usage is straightforward. First, select the profile for the game you wish to modify, then select the 'Browse new...' button to locate the game's video data. This can either be the game's data directory itself, or a backup you've copied elsewhere (recommended). Select any file with the appropriate format to continue.--selecting a file simply guarantees a match with the selected profile.Next, choose your desired settings for each option. If you're unsure about what any of them do,beside the selection box to learn more.With all your settings selected, you may begin the conversion process. A project file will be stored in the target directory, saving your settings for later in case the process is interrupted. You may stop the conversion at any time and come back to it later, or even manage multiple conversions at once. If Vidsquish is closed, you may resume a previous project by selecting 'Browse previous...' from the source directory menu. (choosing a directory with 'Browse new...' will erase any previous projects stored in the selected directory!)Note that some profiles may take a while to generate a preview image or show any change to the progress meter.When in doubt, check the target directory for signs of activity. Modifying cutscenes is a long and complex process, so please be patient!Conversion time varies greatly by each PC and selected settings. Expect some conversions to taketo fully complete. However, not all profiles and settings are created equal, and some may complete in a matter of minutes.Vidsquish features a completely skinnable interface, with both a modern and "classic" skin included by default. Skins can be selected using the drop-down menu opened by clicking on the Vidsquish icon to the top-left of the window.Vidsquish would not be possible without the work of many others releasing the tools it is based on.
