[edit] one dot zero

killed the advert.

[edit] First Use

• Does anyone know the first home computer of video game to incorporate FMV sequences? The earliest one that comes to mind is Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective (1991) Zoganes 14:13, 2004 Dec 6 (UTC)

• • Could use more information on early 90's games, including games focused primarily on FMV as a part of gameplay, their evolution, failure as truly interactive games, and eventual replacement by 3D. Include examples of FMV games for PC and console systems.

[edit] Rewrite

The article is completely wrong, confusing Full Motion Video with CG (computer graphics). Notably not talk about real FMV games like "7th Quest", "Phantasmagoria", "Night Trap", "Secret Circle of the Moon".

Final Fantasy never used FMV in gameplay.--Mateusc 28 June 2005 17:34 (UTC)

I don't claim to be right, but I think FMV is not limited to humans actors in response to your claim about Final Fantasy FMVs. I tried searching for a definition of FMV without finding something really clear about them, but some professional video games websites like http://www.gamespot.com use the term FMV when talking about the videos like this [review] on gamespot where you'll see the word FMV on the 4th paragraph. About the real FMV games, I think you're right, we need to rewrite the article to talk about them.--DarkEvil July 2, 2005 17:00 (UTC)

Do you have a citation for the claim that FMV is only live action? The only other time I've seen this argument is in a rather heated debate surrounding the release of Jedi Knight II, and I was under the impression it had been pretty thoroughly debunked there. "Full motion video" does not refer to the content of a particular clip: it refers to video which plays at a full frame rate (24/30 FPS for NTSC, or 25 for PAL video). See here or here. Graphics professionals, game designers, and the general public have been using the term FMV for exactly what the article says it is for years. The term for what you're talking about is "live action," not "full motion." – Seancdaug July 7, 2005 05:25 (UTC)

Definitions for terms change (especially considering live-action FMV's died out years ago). Live with it (like the guys at Fighting game do). Taking the rewrite tag off now. Nifboy 7 July 2005 07:39 (UTC)

[edit] First use of FMV

According to Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair was the first movie to sport FMV in 1983. --Abdull 20:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Most Laserdiscs games use FMV and in fact are the ancestors to cd-rom FMV (with a good bunch of them being released as cd-roms or dvd-roms since) Cedric C.

[edit] The resurgence of live action

Many games now are coming out live action now again like command and conquer 3 and the new need for speed.Jamhaw 18:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)jamhaw

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Final Fantasy VIII Ball Dance FMV.jpg

Image:Final Fantasy VIII Ball Dance FMV.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
