Sorry, I couldn't find a topic in these forums or in the freespace wiki, but what codec do I need to play the in-game ogg video cutscenes? Currently if I extract the .vp file with the cutscenes, they do not play in winamp.

A point in the right direction would be much appreciated =D

For playing the ogg movies (theora) or musics (vorbis) ingame you do not need any codecs. Otherwise use for example VLC player

Okay. Is there an intro video or something I should watch for to check if the cutscenes are working?

If you have got the OGG cutscene pack for FS2 and are playing the FS2 campaign, or the OGG cutscene pack for FS1 port and are playing FS Port.   If you used Turey's Installer, run it again and tell it to get the tools.  (Unless you've already got them).  Then use VPView to extract intro.ogg and see if it plays.

I used vpview to extract intro.ogg and a few others just for good measure and I got no joy. Tried on winamp and wmp.

My apologies, I went to the in-game cutscenes player and managed to get them all to play except intro and bosh monologue 1

Corrupted?  What's their size?

Oh I figured it out, I had some of the old avi files in the main directory that wouldn't play for me, the game must have been looking at them first, I deleted them and now I have cutscenes for the first time since vanilla, thanks!

Ya, the .avi files were XVID or DIVX encoded.  (some were one, some were the other)  EDIT: to get them to work, you'd have to use ffdshow or similar (Google it if you want).
