Hm. I do wonder how the video got cut off. I used the video stream exactly rather than re-encoding. I guess I better take another look at it.

I actually did this a bit back and didn't think to post it. Figured someone else had probably done it and that I'd just missed the link somewhere. Ah well, here you go.

If anyone wants to mirror it or anything, be my guest.

I tried converting the Steam version's Opening.ogv to avi with ffmpeg to see what's up, but it seemed to work for me. Might be that you had a version of ffmpeg that didn't agree with it somehow. It definitely looks like it should be a simple file swap here. It's a standard Theora video stream and two Vorbis audio streams with no encryption. If things need redone from scratch here for any reason, though, it should be possible to just swap out the Japanese version audio tracks in the videos with full-vocal versions without needing to touch the other video or audio streams.

Has anyone found a workaround or anything for the bilinear filtering that's happening on a lot of video cards? My driver control panel won't let me just force that off like some will, and it's the one thing really keeping me from enjoying the port as much as I could. It's too bad, really.

Still, you'd think it would be common sense to tell other editors where you're hoping to take a character in the first place, if it's going to be something that might matter later. In any case, it's pretty clear, if a bit saddening, that he's gone off the deep end. Myself, I don't follow the comic anymore, but I respected Mr. Penders' works back in the day. They helped to further separate the comic from other Sonic works. While not all of his characters were really necessary, or honestly very original, the effect they had on the comic as a whole is pretty clear.

It's a real shame that it came to this, but I don't know what he thinks he'll accomplish. About all he's doing is trashing his own reputation and making a bunch of people mad. While it's not gonna bring me back to the comics, my hope hope is that this simply inspires the Archie Comics gang to further themselves from things like Mr. Penders' works and show what they can do without them from here on. I bet they have plenty of great stories and characters they can bring out to replace what they'd lose.

As for Ken, if I were him, I'd cut my losses and just get out of this mess as fast as I could. It's only going to hurt him more the longer he lets this go on. But then, if I were him, I suppose I'd be a bit too busy polishing the pedastal I'd put myself on to see what's really going on down below it anymore.
