I want to extract some cpk files but cant get CPK2AVI or ACPK2AVI to work on my system (Win7 64Bit). Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not much help here I'm afraid, I have a legacy system running full DOS 6.22 and Win98 for such things.
You could try doing it through an older OS running in a virtual machine...

If you've already successfully extracted them (that usually tends to be the biggest problem for me), try running 'em through Format Factory. It has a pretty high success rate with converting ancient formats.

Does Format Factory recode everything? I really want to just extract the original files untouched so I can replace the audio and put the modified cpk back into the game.
I'm downloading Format Factory so I 'll give it a try, but I think Im just going to have to get and old pc for this kind of job.

CPK files shouldn't be reencoded, Windows can decode them natively, the only problem is that they are in a non-avi container.
ACPK2AVI works fine on my end (just tested it, also win7 64bit). It is command line only, but for CPK files you can just copy the cpk files into the same directory as the exe, and type in "acpk2avi.exe input.cpk output.avi" (minus quotes) at the explorer Title Bar.

I got it working, but it took some effort. For some reason I can only get it working by inputting the full dir locations e.g. "c:\acpk2avi.exe c:\test.cpk k:\test.avi". I've noticed the audio of the avi files has a clicking sound? video is fine.
I've also been messing about with FFMPEG which (supposedly) can also demux/remux sega film & cpk files. Again, this is a command line program so I'm having some difficulty getting it to run right on my system.
Now after many hours of faffing about I've been able to make 1 new CPK file, but now I need help putting the new file back into the game to test it.
