Need for Speed Most Wanted movie files (PS2)

Post by Andre Romhacker »

I'd like to put caption in the Need for Speed Most Wanted movies of the PS2 version, they're in MPC format, which is strange because as far as I know, it's an audio format, I tried the official Musepack software but did not recognize the files.

Simple:

MPC videos is playable with Media Player Classic that was bundled with latest K-Lite Codec Pack

EDIT: Oh, didn't realize you want to add the subtitle then encode the videos back to MPC again. The format was basically MPEG-2 video stream + EA's proprietary ADPCM audio codecs. The decoding parts was easy, any converter that using FFmpeg libraries (like X-Media Recode) can encode it to other formats, and then you can add the subtitle there. The only problem is how to encode it back to MPC again with the proper format.
