Angel Studios Compresses Resident Evil 2 FMVs
|
5.1
Angel Studios engineers recreated the PlayStation 1998 title Resident Evil 2 for the Nintendo 64 by compressing its full-motion video (FMV) cutscenes to fit a 64 MB cartridge. Over a 12-month port, they achieved about a 165:1 compression ratio—reducing roughly 15 minutes of uncompressed FMV to 24 MB—using software decoding, custom RSP microcode, chroma subsampling, upscaling and interpolation. The work preserved FMVs despite limited storage.
