ParadoxPowerPlaysWhat happens when you take the colorful, cinematic intro from the 2008 video game from Valve Corporation, Left 4 Dead, and encode it in one of the oldest digital video formats in existence, Cinepak? Then, also use an extremely-limited color pallet of only 256 colors? You get this mess!
Suffice to say, this very old video format did not work well with this game's opening scene and practically stripped away all the color. Now, we have a strange, flickering cell-shaded black and white video with the occasional dab of color.

What happens when you take the excellent intro video from the 1997 Capcom video game, Megaman X4, and then re-encode it using an extremely outdated digital video format [ Cinepak: since 1991 ] and at a limited pallet of only 256 colors? [ 8-bit color ] You get bizarre results like these! Almost makes this video look like some kind of an odd fever-dream, or you got WAY too high off of something.
We ended up using the original, unedited version of this game's intro, mainly to see how the brighter colors and brighter flashes would respond to this 30+ year old digital video format. Suffice to say, the results speak for themselves. XD

Then, also use an extremely-limited color pallet of only 256 colors? You get this mess! Suffice to say, Cinepak and this intro did not get along very well! Often, the detail was preserved, but the color was completely stripped out! A very special thanks to Commander AJ for providing the footage required for this little project.
Also, Black Mesa is a fantastic remake of the 1998 classic Half-Life!
Since Cinepak is a 32-bit program and can only use a single processor core, encoding times are very slow in this format at high resolutions and frame rates. This video took over 16 hours to render out as a result!
Fun facts about Cinepak! -First released in 1991 and is among the oldest compressed digital video formats in existence
-Designed to deliver 320 x 240 video at 12 or more frames per second on a single-speed [1X] CD-ROM, which was quite impressive back in 1991
-Works on very weak hardware, even for back in 1991
-Supports 256 color [8-bit color], 24-bit color and even a gray-scale mode
-Used for full-motion video on video game consoles such as the Sega CD, 3DO and Atari Jaguar
-Many early to mid-90s CD-ROM games on DOS and Windows 95 used Cinepak for full-motion video
-Has both 16-bit and 32-bit versions, but can only make use of a single processor core, meaning encoding times, even on the most powerful modern CPUs available, can be extremely slow at high resolutions and frame rates
-Is no longer supported on new operating systems and media players. Currently, only the latest version of QuickTime on Windows is the most recent media player that can play back AVI or MOV files that use Cinepak video encoding
-Video encoded with Cinepak is rejected by video and social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter due to large file sizes and simply being extremely out of date. We get around this by encoding the Cinepak video files into high-quality MP4s instead.
Steam Group ► http://steamcommunity.com/groups/paradoxpowerplays[PPP] Black Mesa - Inbound [Old Video Format at 256 Colors] AKA: Gordon Freeman on DrugsParadoxPowerPlays2020-03-21 | Oddly enough, we got a request for some gameplay footage encoded in the extremely-outdated digital video format known as Cinepak. In addition, we reduced the color pallet from several million down to a mere 256. We may make this a series and play through the rest of this game in this very old video format. What do you all think? Want more Black Mesa gameplay in Cinepak? Let us know in the comments!

Then, also use an extremely-limited color pallet of only 256 colors? You get this mess!
Once again, this very old digital video format and small color pallet did not fare particularly well with this particular cutscene. Lot's of strange flickering and downright bizarre color malfunctions can be seen throughout this video!
Surprisingly, this video fared much better than the intro for Lead 4 Dead. youtube.com/watch?v=26HWx1jn-Tk A great deal more color data was preserved, though we still have a bizarre-looking, flickering disaster for the video!

Dr. Mack Foxx acted as the master of ceremonies and announcer for this Livestreamed event with QueenTopHat, Paco da Taco and Duskye coming along for the ride as commantators!
Seems my favorite retro video codec from around 1991, Cinepak, really butchered the intro from the 2019 Sega video game Sonic Team Racing. I have never seen color flickering so bad, we had to put a seizure warning on it!
