I have created a cinematic for my Grim 2 mod and have gotten it to work but no audio. Also the video is terrible (very pixelated). I suspect improper resolution settings when I created the .ivf file online.

There was a grim 2 site I could get to (www.grimrock.net/modding) that had some command line examples to use when creating a .ivf file with ffmpeg but it is no linger available. This command line showed some resolution and other settings. I believe the web page also explained how to use the .ivf file in your mod and also explained how to do the audio.

Does anyone have this information and would it be possible to post it so I can finish my cinematic?

Start with this:
_____________

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP8

https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

_____________

It's common to use Google to search out examples of FFMPEG parameters to achieve a desired result. However it has lately become possible to just ask ChatGPT to format an FFMPEG command line for the results you want. 8-) It does a pretty good job of it, and can always be fine tuned.

It's all preserved on https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.grimrock.net
You can even download the asset pack from there.

Might be good to recreate/save that somewhere though, I'd hate to rely forever on web.archive.org

Why is it missing at all? That was a core page; the only source of the asset packs [afaik].
