How to put your own STR´s on a Psx Cd:

    Following these steps you will be able to convert avi files in STR Xa format for using them on the Psx. You could put so many videos as you want but by now the Player I tried only support 4, and is NTSC.

   MovConv 3.1

    1.- Once you have the avi at 320x240 (I just tried that res), run MC32.EXE. Uffff what a messs!!!
    2.- Now you only have to select your avi in the new window and the destination STR name. Don´t forget to select the str file type under the Str name.
    3.- Open atributtes window and select Easy, Leap Sector, the sound frecuency you want and the fps that have your avi (very important). Don´t close Atributtes window, just minize it.
    4.- Click over Go button.

The STR file must be in 2336 format (if you divide the lenght by 2336 you must obtain a number without decimals), so you can´t play the STR unless you burn it on a Psx cd, or use StrPlay.

Str player for psx

Inside the videos.zip file there is 2 exes (psxntsc.exe and psxpal.exe), in adittion to other files,  when you are going to put them in the main root of your cd rename one of these file to psx.exe.
Thanx to Overdrv for this version.

    5.- Make a Cd using CdGen with the files in the zip and your Str´s. When you select your STR on CDGEn select XA file type.

Steps to use Str Player for Psx:

1.-Icons folder is where have to be the icons that will appear on the menu. You can change them using TimUtil.
2.-Resource foder keeps Albums.tim, the background of the player. You can also change it. Do not change anymore in this folder..
3.-On the video folder you have to put the str files.The files must be renamed to 1.str , 2.str, 3.str and 4.str
4.-Do no touch anything more.
