Kings Quest VII cutscene quality patch<\/h3>\n

\"\"When Kings Quest VII was released most PC’s didn’t have the hardware to play uncompressed high resolution cutscenes with a good framerate. The DOS version cutscenes have a framerate of only 5 frames per second. To compensate that a lossless compression method was used. The Windows version cutscenes have a framerate of 10 frames per second but also some blocky artifacts during camera movement due to the used compression.<\/p>\n

I noticed that on the disc of one Windows version there are unused cutscene files using the codec of the DOS version but with a framerate of 10 frames per second. Due to the lossless compression the quality is better than the normal DOS\/Windows cutscenes. They were probably never used since when the game was released most PC couldn’t play them properly.<\/p>\n

\"\"I’ve converted these higher quality cutscenes so that they can be used by ScummVM in combination with the Windows version of Kings Quest VII. And created a patch that patches the old cutscenes files to these new ones (supports the following KQ VII Windoes versions: english 1.51, 1.65c, 2.00b and maybe 1.4, german 1.51, french 1.65c, spanish 2.00).<\/p>\n
