Over The Hedge PC MOVIES.ARC

Post by Volthunter0 »

Hello everyone,
I'm new here and wanted to ask for help to this problem I have.

Since I have the cracked version of over the hedge it doesn't have any extras
or movies making it very confusing to follow through with.

I saw that the movies.arc file was only 1Kb?
I used quickbms and quickbms found nothing in the archive?

Thank you for reading and I hope you all can help
P.S. Im quite new to this so if i don't understand what you're saying
I apologise.

What you have is probably a RIP version.
Basically all the not necessary files like movies and musics have been removed or reduced in their size, like images and wav audio converted to lossy formats and so on.
Just the minimum necessary to allow the game to run by using the lower amount of space for downloading (doesn't matter if some releases take 10 times disk space for their installation, decompression and reconversion... yeah).

That explains why your movies.arc archive is empty.
And so you can extract nothing because there is nothing in it.

Oh, well thank you for spreading some light on the situation.
I'll see if I can find a non-ripped MOVIES.ARC file.

If you search "over the hedge" site:zenhax.com on google you can see that many platforms have been tested.

I was able to use extract all the gc files into a folder and extracted all the movie.arc ones and it seems like
the extra content in the game, one problem, it's in .bik format and i'm not sure if that's what it was orginally was supposed to be like
