	Playing Movies from disc Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I have SMAC+AC. Is there any possibility to play movies from disk not from CD - editing ini file...? Problem is that my CD is scratched. And as i found out, some movie files are unreadable. I am able to "rip" the movies from cd by using some spec utilities. But the program is stil traing to read them from cd...

Ty..

I think there are some configuration options in the .ini file...I'm not too sure though...I did a full install, and thus it doesn't usually resort to the disk. Maybe its a registry option for you Windows users. Hmm.

	Convertor Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Can I convert my own movie into the SMAC file format? - I found no "Konvertor" into WVE...
It would be nice to have personaliser Intro ;-)

Using Mplayer, I believe if you can find a codec for WVE that it can understand (or compile Mplayer against it)......it will work both ways...

Amazingly, xine (for Linux) can understand the audio stream!

But the graphics of SMAC/SMAX are of a certain style, and inserting one's own custom movie might not fit exactly...

Hmmm, its been 4 months since I have posted here and played SMAC, if I remember, I think there is a .exe that you can use to play the movies with (hold right-click, drag it to the .exe file, and then choose play on the submenu). I don't know if that is on your CD, cause I got mine in a bundle with 3 other strategy games from some resurrection company. I gotta go to bed right now, bed, so I might reply in the morning. Hope that helps, I'm tired and not sure if I understood the question.

EDIT:

Oops, I said CD, on your disk there should be the '.exe' file in your movies folder.
