- OKAY, seems that for whatever reason FFX has something up its sleeve when it comes to its .sz/.dat movie format...
[ffx_ps2_dat_sz]pcm_adpcm_samples.7z
i don't know how to "accurately" explain this, really... but i'll try.
in FFX, any .sz/.dat file that uses audio at all can store up to three sound formats - PCM16(with .pcm extension of course), some DPCM/ADPCM codec or even some sort of compressed PCM16 codec(hence the .adpcm extension), and AC-3(guess which extension is it) - and only PCM16 and AC-3 gets away with not using any sort of lossless compression algorithm whatsoever while the .adpcm ones aren't so lucky.
in case you want a sample to see for yourself, let me know.

as an aside, i've managed to write an script based on at least four formats used by Squaresoft->Square-Enix on their PS2 games
square_sqex_ps2_vag_formats.bms

@Ultrafighter - Run Like Hell no clue how devs are referencing files inside.
HOTD:Overkill, get this bms: http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/blitz_games.bms
Then remove lines 55 to 58 ("if METHOD == 0" and next 3), use to extract streamed packs then play str+wav (sfx packs use another format, maybe try txth).
@AnonRunzes - no idea about that codec

- Hi bnnm. I started ripping an old game, Wing Commander 5 and the videos and music are in an archive with .tre extension.
After searching I found they play with GAP, Game Audio Player and show up as 16 bit 22050 Hz EA ADPCM. I haven't been able to extract them but being EA Audio?? it perhaps can be played just like other games with EA music that you guys have been dealing with.
Can you take a look??
Inside is a table with the names and the music extensions are *.mgi
WC5 EA-ADPCM
Movies are .wve extension inside .tre archive
Movie Example
Being a 1997 game with Electronic Arts as the publisher I am sure they have messed around with the formats.
Thx
*** I have more music and movie samples if you need. There is a larger 75 mb music.tre archive and movies as well.

- Hello Bnnm, sorry to bring this up once more but maybe you're able to help me out with unpacking those The House of the Dead archives? I requested a newer version of BMS there but it's still not an ultimate best solution. I'll truly appreciate any assistance!
Later!

- Man, I remember giving the PS3 HOTD Overkill a look a while back, but didn't have enough time to spare for it.... and unfortunately, I doubt I will anytime soon. That being said, I wish you good luck on your own endeavors in breaching that title's defenses, Ultrafighter! :)
Anyways, I came with a couple inquiries of my own. First up, the PC version of Blaster Master Zero. The sound files come in this ".isd" format that may or may not be encrypted, so I included the whole sound folder in case there's anything interesting to be found. Next up is another PC title, Yuppie Psycho. This is another one I included the entire sound archive for.... and as you'll be able to tell, everything but the music comes in OGG format. I assume the music itself does as well, but I think it's also encrypted somehow. I'd be quite grateful if anyone can give these two titles a look-see....

@marcusss - those are a bit complex, I'll try later
@Ultrafighter - my mod worked for me, I think you should ask again aluigi since he knows the format better

- Thanks bnnm.

- Hey Bnnm, thanks for advice!
May I also ask you to inspect some samples of videos from old games? They're KKND 2 - Krossfire + Krazy Ivan (both for PC) & it'd be great if any kind of audio demuxing can be done.
KKND 2 uses format similar to the one used by KKND 1 but presumably audio codec was tweaked/changed (maybe video codec is different too, VLC media player shows mostly static, although it displayed videos from original KKND just fine).
I found out that movie audio in KKND 1 might be dumped with FFMPEG.exe but no dice when it comes to their counterparts from sequel. Is there anything you can do to fix it?
As for Krazy Ivan here're some specs I found + an extra sample, I hope it's helpful.
Best wishes and thanks in advance!
