Hello!

I don't know if this is already solved but is there a real demuxer for smk video files? I know about Luigi's script that extracts... something out of smk files, so maybe the way to a real demuxer isn't that far off. I'd need an audio file that is playable with vgmstream.
Here are some samples: https://1fichier.com/?rqp2iwduh7r64rf0z2dj
Some documentation:

Thanks guys.

The website says the download needs a password.

Hm, not for me actually... Try downloading with JDownloader

I tried with JD and doesn't work there as well, still asks for password



Anyway, latest build of vgmstream is able to play the Smacker files directly without need to demuxing it manually.

Yeah, just tested these SMK files and they are playable directly in foobar2000 vgmstream plugins, no need to demux it manually.

Well yes, I know that. As are other movie formats.
However, I want to keep my collection tidy and only save audio files. I'm also quite interested in the file format.

Ah, OK. Well, I wanted to write the demuxer bms script myself but the format can be quite hair-pulling, well for me anyways.

For demuxing these, I normally just use RAD Video Tools - works with Bink & Smacker files.

I guess the audio is somehow compressed in the original SMK files, so might not be playable by any standard codec if ripped as-is. Demuxing with the above tool will give you a standard .wav file in 8-bit PCM.

I did this for those Total Commander videos a while ago

This smk demuxer quickbms script by bnnm worked, found at https://hcs64.com/mboard/forumlong.php? ... howpage=23

The linked bms above can be found here too: https://github.com/bnnm/vgm-tools/blob/ ... emuxer.bms

Original and demuxed .smk should be playable by vgmstream.
