Cutscenes playing audio but no video
I'm using release 3.6.7 and have dowloaded the cutscenes from karajorma's site.  When I run the game, the audio from the movie plays, but I get no video at all.  G-Spot tells me that the movie is using XVid, so it isnt a problem with Divx 6.  Can anyone help me out?

What happens if you try playing the video in media player?
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

It works fine.  Also, the movies seem to play OK ingame if i use OpenGL rather than D3D.  I've noticed that there's a bug on Mantis about this, which Taylor says should have been fixed in the most recent builds.  It hasn't, as I've just tried the latest CVS and get the same problem.

So add a bugnote in Mantis if it's still open.

I've noticed that the cutscenes play fine as long as D3D_MULTISAMPLE is set to none, but not if it's set to any other value.

HVD, thanks for the tip.  I've also tried enabling AA with my Nvidia control panel, but the movies would not run that way either.

Re: Cutscenes playing audio but no video
I have encountered the same problem. With AA enabled the videos won't show up...just audio.
