Some of the videos in realMyst Masterpiece Edition suffer from repeated conversions into different formats for different editions of Myst and have ended up lower quality than they could be.
I've put together a patch that replaces the videos of Sirrus, Achenar and Atrus with higher quality ones.
For Sirrus and Achenar, the new videos are from Myst Masterpiece Edition. These videos are supposed to be fuzzy anyway but the new ones are sharper and have much better audio.
For Atrus, the new videos are from realMyst and are twice the resolution.
Download the patch for v2.2 here: Mac instructions:
Right-click the "Apply Patch.command" file and choose Open. This shell script will try to automatically find your realMyst app and use the included bspatch tool to apply the two patch files.
Windows instructions:
Run the program and follow the steps. Make sure you select your realMyst installation directory (typically C:\GOG Games\Real Myst Masterpiece Edition).
I used the Unity Assets Bundle Extractor tool to modify the assets files. For reference, the following assets have been modified (Path ID and Name)...
