Extracted Windows 7 Boot Animation / Startup Animation From Beta Build 7000

[cOlektor]

thumbs up if your watching this on windows 95

[REv0lv3]

Take a look at this /watch?v=xQLwQ32cvhU see the win 8 boot extracted and in use

[Clonetrooper1019]

I wonder if it is possible to make a custom :)

[TheInuYashaDogEars]

I don't have a bootres.dll in my system nor System32 folder.

[LOLZpersonok]

Could I somehow convert this file so I can use it in Windows XP?

[dogbog99]

Clever guy! Nice

[KaijeTheGreat]

7zip managed to extract the bmp too! ...can i ask what programming language and API did you use to toggle through the image positions?

[0SL2]

@KaijeTheGreat Visual C++ 6 and GDI+

[ensignjoe]

Do you also know where those nice animated bars are that appear in Windows 7 setup? Those bars at “System registry is being updated” or “Setup is checking your video performance”? They are not in bootres unfortunately :(

[deathworm101]

I can't find ImageX anywhere. I think it's easier to download this clip and convert to GIF ;)

[compmaster13]

@deathworm101 7-zip works fine for extracting the wim

[Raymai97]

@compmaster13 yea but i prefer winrar, so i use GimageX to extract that WIM

[Kyuuqsoft]

it scares me.

[10fcx]

And really what was that , i don't even get it

[MrSenthil254]

You forgot Starting Windows

[olegario39]

can the animated boot screen be used on xp?

[TheHL2Guy]

Thanks! I downloaded this video and made a BMP animation to my mobile.. Thanks again!!

[dylandionrakiman]

where do i get this bootscreen for XP?

[DXSENTRAL]

Can I change Boot screen windows xp to windows 7 ?

Thanks.

[JMA0BRZ]

hey! thanks! it actually worked haha

[JMA0BRZ]

oh ya, just so you know, bootres.dll is located in the system32 folder (for those who might ask, even on the x64 versions)

[themaitlandgeeksquad]

What application did you use for the extraction? TIA

[SL2SL2]

See the Description, click (more info) if you have any more questions ill answer =)

[themaitlandgeeksquad]

K got it thx

[SL2SL2]

I added the technical Info on how I extracted the video to the description. Unfortunately I could not post it here in the comments.

[Supuhstar]

Was this an .AVI file? If so, where is it?

[SL2SL2]

See Above!

[BarbraStreisandMusic]

where can you download this...

I'm asking for a real working one, not a picture!!

[zMinybuddiez]

It's just a GIF. Should be able to find it on Google. I don't have to bother because I have Windows7.

[Supuhstar]

you kidding? GIFs can't do that many colors! Go ahead. TRY to find it on Google. I dare you.

[SL2SL2]

You are correct sir, GIF can only hold 256 colors in there palette. The video above was created by taking each frame out of the full BMP image and creating an AVI. I wrote the program to do that. The AVI is 12 MB uncompressed. I will see about posting a link to the original AVI created from the images or at least the application do take the image and convert it to a AVI.

[Supuhstar]

Sweet! Awesome work! Thanks, SL2SL2. :3

[jeffhuys]

May I ask, what file you decompressed and what you used for it? Thanks!

[SL2SL2]

It would be possible to change the animation, What I do not know if any security integrity checks exist to verify that the file it is contained in is the original file and has not changed. Aside from doing that, its just a matter of reversing the process I used to extract it.

[nntb]

think there is a way to create a program that will take frames of a animation and replace the windows 7 boot animation with a custom animation?

[NexXxus86]

remembers to the PS2 menu animation

[neoceluloide]

nice but... how?

[0SL2]

Magic

Or

1.) Find the binary file with the compressed archive as a resource

2.) Determine the format of the compressed archive

3.) Decompress the archive

4.) Determine the file with Image and the Type of Image

5.) Extract the Single PNG image containing all the frames as one image

6.) Write a Program that takes the PNG image and copies one section at a time from it to an AVI

Total Time to complete the above, about 4 hours. If you want more details, just ask.

[neoceluloide]

thanks,  i will try to change this animation, or just for fun :)

[anthonyfk]

I'd like more details. Or the PNG image itself. :p

[SPRSniper]

isn't it a GIF not PNG

[58694003]

They hired ILM to do this?

[qcziu]

Are we watching the same video?

[LiquidFriction]

lmao
