I found all of them over two discs in their 640x480 interlaced video, audio hissing circa early 2000s mpeg glory. I will see what I can do about uploading them sometime.

I went back to the old version of the site thru web-archive and most of the videos are still there and can be downloaded, including REmake Beta Dech Demo, but resolutions they have are 320x240 or 160x120. Are your videos really in 640x480? Wonder where they'd come from...

Is not a Tech Demo, it was rendered by a renderfarm, it's impossible for a GameCube to handle that.

Yes I totally understand that and the fact that it's a pre-rendered movie, not real-time graphics, and of course gamecube cannot handle that, nor can the consoles from today's generation if the exact same amount of polygons as in that video was used.

I called it Tech Demo as a reference to youtube video mentioned earlier.

And by the way is it still incorrect to call it Tech Demo? Because while it isn't a real-time environment it still uses the same 3D models for the pre-rendered backgrounds in the game. It's obviously not a tech demo for the console itself, but a for the game.
So basically it's a showcase of work in progress, so isn't WIP a Tech Demo?

No because doesn't show hardware capabilities of something and is not running in realtime, it can be categorized as a Demo Reel, or Show Reel.

Fair enough.

Still from the official site. When they first went up in 2001-2002 they offered them in 640X480, but sometime later in 2002 they removed all the higher quality ones.

I didn't link to an earlier version of the site because I couldn't find one so complete. But here is an example from 2001 which shows the 640 link.

Quick update, lately I've uploaded the following

Wesker's Report (HD - 720p)
BIOHAZARD REVELATIONS Cutscenes (HD - 720p)
BIOHAZARD Complete Disc / 1.5 Videos
Hyper PlayStation Re-mix / 1.5 Videos
Director's HAZARD

Soon I'll be adding the Dino Crisis 1&2 FMVs in HD. Following those, I'll begin recording the BH6 cutscenes from the PC version, then move onto the in-game cutscenes of BH2 and BH3 (I already have the FMVs waiting). After that, I'll replace all of the Chronicles cutscenes with their HD versions, and move onto the Revival Selection: CVX and BH4.

Im surprised you are upscaling things

[Carnivol]

Well, with the picture quality and bitrate of YouTube -- I'd actually say it's almost better to do a "proper" upscale first, before uploading to YouTube, that way, you're likely to have a better end result to the material you put up on the 'Tube.

But for archival locally or downloads? Upscaling should only really be handled on a playback level.

[News Bot]

Yeah, I'm only upscaling because the result looks pretty good on YouTube. I'm going to keep SD and HD versions of everything for a while but for the actual encodes, I prefer as close to native res. as possible.

[Rombie]

Is there a translated version of Director's HAZARD anywhere?

[News Bot]

Not yet, but it'll be done.

[Rombie]

Ah well, looking forward to it.

Hyper PlayStation Re-mix / 1.5 Videos

You're missing three Haipah PreySteichen Remix videos (if you want a complete HPR listing, not just 1.5). Also two Dino Crisis videos.

Good stuff, now I can easily watch a lot of my sealed junk. But Youtube is a bitch to navigate. You find RE4 Las Vegas trailer next to a Revelations trailer and so on. Would have been great with a proper link index on PU sorted by game or other sensible categories.

I most likely don't have the missing HPR videos. Which DC videos are missing?

I'll hopefully get a category thing sorted out soon. For now though, almost everything is separated by playlists, so I'd suggest everyone navigate with those.

EDIT: Wait a minute, I actually have two of the HPR videos (BH3 commercial and Gun Survivor trailer). They're already on PUTV, but I haven't sorted them.
