Viva Pinata (Xbox 360) - X06 Trailer (4K60 Upscale)GoldMetalSonic2024-09-09 | ...NDCUBE Co., Ltd. - Logo Animation (Native 4K)GoldMetalSonic2024-10-11 | This is a native 2880x2160 capture of the logo animation for NDCube taken from Tube Slider as recorded via the Dolphin Emulator.
The trick with this one is that the animation actually uses 3D models for the main logo, and then at the end, it uses a small 128x128 texture of the logo behind the models, with a 256x16 texture of the copyright info right below it.
Thus the only way to capture it properly was to use the emulator's recording function. Because the models are rendering natively, I opted to render it at 5x res at 3200x2640 with 16xMSAA for as high quality for 4K as possible. I shrank it down a bit to 2622x2160 to make it "4K' essentially. Because this seems to be the native aspect ratio, it seemed better to keep it as such without stretching it or adding black bars. Would folks prefer black bars or not?
Also there was no audio, the animation is deliberately mute it seems.NDCube Logo Animation (Native 4K)GoldMetalSonic2024-10-11 | This is a native 2880x2160 capture of the logo animation for NDCube taken from Tube Slider as recorded via the Dolphin Emulator.

Because the models are rendering natively, I opted to render it at 5x res at 3200x2640 with 16xMSAA for as high quality for 4K as possible. The game natively renders at an odd slimmer ratio but going by the textures are indeed made for 4:3 (making it so in Avidemux stretches it a bit), so I shrank it a bit to 2622x2160 and then added black borders to make it a proper 2880x2160. I had the emulator set to "force 4:3" but that doesn't seem to matter as it'd be the same if set to that or "auto" apparently (as the recording res is the same as the res it was set to above).

The .mpg video was silent (presumably the audio file is a separate thing I wasn't able to obtain), but I was able to simply save the audio from the GC version's video and paste it into the PS2 version's and they synced perfectly.
There's an odd difference between the two; the GC version's doesn't have the second blink at the end (though it's audible), and oddly the GC version is slightly higher res and notably crisper, albeit more notably compressed with artifacts. Plus the PS2 video isn't quite 4:3 either. I'd have to assume the Xbox version's video is the exact same as the PS2's.Next Level Games - Logo Animation (NHL Hitz Pro) (GC) (4K60 Upscale)GoldMetalSonic2024-09-30 | This is the 4K60 (not AI) upscale of the raw 640x480 .thp video of the logo animation for Next Level Games from the disc of NHL Hitz Pro for GameCube.

I had a bit of trouble with this one. I couldn't open it in Avidemux since it said it was missing a demuxer for the file. Luckily I simply converted it to an .mp4 file in Handbrake first and it worked afterwards then.

For this video, I had to upload the video raw to YouTube and download the audio file as an .aac file, as the raw file had issues being converted due to its audio codec. No matter what setting it was either desync or just not even process at all (Avidemux would crash in most cases). So I took the downloaded audio file, put it into the program, and it worked fine afterwards.
The .wmv download was directly from the Xbox Marketplace storefront and was luckily uploaded at Internet Archive by RdCrestdBreegull:
