EA Contact
I really need an AVI to VQA convertor, and I decided that I had nothing to lose by asking EA. So, my question for today is, who could I contact at EA who might be able to give me such a tool. Don't try and tell me "No, they'd never do that, there's no point in even trying!" because there's no point in not trying either. _________________

You already emailed Aaron. Good luck, although I don't know if you'll really get that tool. I think we've previously asked Eric Gooch, who made the movies and he said he didn't had or couldn't provide the tool... I don't remember anymore... _________________

Are you sure? I remember that he was asked for the official voxel convertor, but I don't remember anything about VQAs... Also, that was a very long time ago, and now EA doesn't even have C&C or Red Alert under their list of copyrighted games... _________________

At least a reply...
Aaron replied!
The results, unfortunately, are not exactly heartening...

You certainly were right about it never hurts to ask. I actually saw
your posting on the forums, I've been checking in every day, just not
posting
So I've talked to some folks around here and basically you are asking
about technology that is somewhat ancient. However, for Generals and RA2
we used a program called Bink which MAY help you, I'm not sure, but its
worth a shot.
Use the Bink compressor which can be found at www.radgametools.com .
There might be some other things there to, I don't know.
I can ask a few others, but I'm doubting I'll find much more since it is
so ancient. Hope this helps.
Keep me posted on your modification. Sounds very interesting.

Perhaps they have indeed bettered their community support.
I have replied, and shall wait...
As for Petroglyph... Nothing... _________________

I just wonder which forum did he saw your post ... Does he visit Revora? Or you did post on Planet CnC, DGN or something more famous? _________________
