1. YDKJ Extractor

Special thanks to CWT10101

First, Download the Extractor for You Don't Know Jack:
YDKJ Extractor[srfextra.sourceforge.net]

The Extractor when used will read the SRF File Data which is used to Run most Classic YDKJ Games:
= Volume 1
= Volume 2
= Volume 3
= NetShow 1.0/1.5
= Volume 4: The Ride
= Sports
= Movies
= Television
= Offline
= Louder Faster Funnier

NOTE: The Screw Your Neighbor Feature in the US, UK, French & Japanese Versions use Screw Image Sprites while the German Version uses Nails.

Reading the Image Sprite Data should work with most Classic YDKJ Games while Some Audio Files may or may not work.

With this method, you can listen to all the Commercials from the Classic YDKJ Games if you like to.

1-1. YDKJ Extractor Option 2

he link to the extractor is actually this:
YDKJ Extractor 2[github.com]

This one will let you view images (all in gif files) and sounds, although the sounds are in a "aifc" files.

According to the files inside, the "off4" files is images, while the "snd" are sounds. But not all of the .srf files contains this; there are some sound files that are included but in different folder names like MI20 and MI21 in COMRCIAL.srf for example.

2. Extractor Compatibility

All of the YDKJ games except for the Playstation versions, as well as 5th Dementia, The Lost Gold, 2011, 2015 and Full Stream were all made using the .GRAPHIC format.

The folders used in the NetShow as an example was:
Adfont = Advertisments
FP = Audio/Sounds
Qfold = Question Data

3. Conversion Notes

Only a few files (including the cat1.srf file in The Netshow [v1.5]) that won't convert or let's you preview it.

4-1. Known Examples - YDKJ Images 1

4-2. Known Examples - YDKJ Images 2

4-3. Known Examples - YDKJ Images 3

4-4. Known Examples - YDKJ Images 4

4-5. Known Examples - YDKJ Images 5

5. Known Problems

Volume 1 will not show any images on any of the files because it uses off3. The audio however can still be converted.

Sports = title.srf - off4: 227 is accessed violation.

Volume 2 = CCCRSRC.srf - off4: 137 is accessed violation. (It was also like that in the Japanese version.)

Television = ENDGAME.srf - off4: 36 is accessed violation
jattack1.srf - off4: 0-1, 3-8 is accessed violation.

HeadRush = QNUMBERS.srf - off4: 5 is accessed violation.

The Ride = DDGameSd - off4: 18 is accessed violation. (It was also like that in Abwärts, but only on 17.)
JAttack2.srf - Accessed violation.
QHeaders - Too many subfiles. (Abwärts doesn't have this problem.)

Offline = JackArt.srf - Too many images.
QHeaders - Too many subfiles.

Louder! Faster! Funnier! = Intro1.srf - off4: 232, 234-235 is accessed violation.
JackArt.srf - Accessed violation.

The Netshow (V1.0) and Sports Netshow = base1.srf, and base2.srf will not show images, you can see them if you press "convert all" or "convert to res".

The Netshow (V1.5) = cat1.srf - Does preview, but will not convert.

Other issues
QNumbers - will only show one number segue, you can see the rest if you press "convert all" or "convert to res".
Fonts - will only show you the smallest one, you can see the rest if you press "convert all" or "convert to res".
JackArt - will not show images, you can see them if you press "convert all" or "convert to res".
The Netshow will only have images converted, the audio can be converted; but almost all of them will have static sounds.

6. JPSRF Converter

Works with YDKJ Vol 1, 2, 3, The Ride, Sports, Movies, Television, HeadRush, Offline, LFF, Netshow (Both versions) and Sports Netshow. Even Austin Powers Operation Trivia works too.

Also Works with YDKJ, German 1-3, Japan, UK & French

Doesn't work with 5th Dimensia, Mock 2, Lost Gold, 2007 Flash, 2011, 2015, Facebook & Full Stream.

It not only it lets you view and save raw frames, but you can also view the animation, view text, invert backgrounds and can also load bigger files that does not work with the YDKJ extractor.
Note: JavaScript is required to use this. You have to have Java installed or it won't work.

I found some issues with some files while using the extractor.

Volume 1 will not show any images on any of the files because it uses off3. The audio however can still be converted.

Sports = title.srf - off4: 227 is accessed violation.

Volume 2 = CCCRSRC.srf - off4: 137 is accessed violation. (It was also like that in the Japanese version.)

Television = ENDGAME.srf - off4: 36 is accessed violation
jattack1.srf - off4: 0-1, 3-8 is accessed violation.

HeadRush = QNUMBERS.srf - off4: 5 is accessed violation.

The Ride = DDGameSd - off4: 18 is accessed violation. (It was also like that in Abwärts, but only on 17.)
JAttack2.srf - Accessed violation.
QHeaders - Too many subfiles. (Abwärts doesn't have this problem.)

Offline = JackArt.srf - Too many images.
QHeaders - Too many subfiles.

Louder! Faster! Funnier! = Intro1.srf - off4: 232, 234-235 is accessed violation.
JackArt.srf - Accessed violation.
