You DO get problems if you mod or tweak your Retail install, and then install SCP over that... Retail, you have to put stuff in the root dir or data subdir to mod.  SCP has the mod feature for that.  But, if you have the CDs, uninstall everything, re-install RETAIL from the CDs, and then install SCP, preferrably after copying the .mves from the disks, as I point out in my walkthrough (Turey's Installer link in my siggy).

why? why not just get the .oog movies from the installer?

Again, bandwidth. The less we download, the more bandwidth there is to introduce new people, who don't have the CDs to FS.

EDIT: And the less that Hunter has to pay.

Still supported, and not likely to change.

Avi support was removed and with good reason (It broke all the time). .mve is still supported. So if you have them why should you waste time downloading them?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he could just burn his FreeSpace2 directory + all subdirectories directly to a DVD, copy them to his other computer, delete launcher6.ini, and be good to go, right?

Yep. Don't forget the OpenAL install though.
