I notice that LOG2 uses IVF format for videos. I have Windows Movie Maker and can make a movie out of still pics which is what I want for my LOG2 mod. However, this saves files in WMV format. How can I convert them to IVF so I can use them? Do I have to use FFmpeg, as I don't fancy messing around with it? Or can LOG2 play other formats? Also, does anyone know the path name for the LOG2 soundtracks (intro/ending etc). I want the music but not the end credits in my mod. Help appreciated as always

Using ffmpeg is by far the easiest way.

No.

To play audio with your video it must be a .ogg file in the same directory as the video with the same pre-extension filename. So if your video is mod_assets/videos/asdf.ivf, it will play mod_assets/videos/asdf.ogg if it exists, and otherwise it will be silent. (You
might be able to cheat this by using a video path with the same 32-bit fnv hash as the default video paths, don't care to test it myself but
here's a collision finder if you need it.)
The paths for the standard intro/ending audio are:
assets/videos/intro.ogg
assets/videos/outro1.ogg
assets/videos/outro2.ogg
i.e. same as the videos with .ivf replaced with .ogg.

Thanks for your help as always. Have installed ffmpeg and can use it via the cmd line. Will give it a go. Thanks again.
