ADDENDUM : Hope RT didn't see my earlier post and go off to correct the code cause there isn't anything wrong with it

The problem is not in the code itself. The problem is as follows. Although FS2_open looks for intro.avi on startup and plays it correctly it can't add it to the techroom properly because the cutscene.tbl tells it to look for intro.mve.
Since it can't find this it can't add the movie to the techroom.
The in-game cutscenes are slightly more complicated because you need to use an edited campaign file that tells FS2_open to play mono1.avi instead of mono1.mve. Unlike with the intro FS2_open won't play the other standard cutscenes without the names being changed in the campaign file. Fortunately someone included the one I made in the media.vp so I doubt anyone has run into that problem
The solution to both problems is to edit the cutscene table and replace .mve with .avi
As soon as you do that the cutscenes should start to work. If you're feeling lazy I've done it for you. I've also included the edited campaign file I used for testing. With it you don't need to play through the main campaign again just to test this. It starts at mission 1. Simply hit alt-J though and it will take you to the first cutscene. You can get the file
hereIf you use the files in that download testing RT's code should take no more than 5 minutes to do so you've got no excuse not to now.
NBI haven't tested the end-of-game cutscenes yet. These are a special case. They are only triggered when the campaign file is called freespace2.fc2 and the special SEXP is triggered. I have no idea what FS2_open will do when it comes across that. I don't even know if they ever worked in FS2_open at all.
RT while I'm here can I request a tiny featurette? At the moment FS2 only looks for files in the main FS2 folder. Would it be possible to make it also look in the -mod folder first? That way campaigns could have their own custom intros without having to interfere with each other.
Actually why not just make the code look in the -mod folder first for all movies?
