Hey there dude, thanks for the reply.

I'm happy to reply that it worked. Haha.

I've come a long way since my original post here (post 1) from 2006 asking for the same help to get these Video's to play on my then Socket 478 Celeron with 1GB of ram and Windows XP. Then it was just a simple Indeo Codec install and off we went. That was after finding OP2 universe because I couldn't get my Original OP2 CD to install in XP. I hadn't played it since my 98SE Pentium II.
I'm thank for your reply and glad to hear that Drakmar has taken it upon himself to recode the videos. Again, using a codec that lacks default support in Windows I had to download the FFDshow codec pack to get it to work. So far, it works in W10 and I hope it stays that way after the Redstore service pack 1 update for July 29th, 2016.
So I went to the page here like you suggested:
https://www.outpost2.com/files/op2/op2_vids.zipI then downloaded the upscaled videos and replaced the ones in my OP2 directory.
Then I had to install ffdshow:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/?source=typ_redirectThe last update was in 2014. After I did this the in-game videos seem to play. Game and everything seem playable and fine. The menu does flicker from time to time, but as I read in another thread hear that is a bug present from W8 and up and can be fixed by editing the OP2.INI and changing the menu to a basic interface look. Another great workaround for the W8/W10 problems.
It's sad that as these newer version of Windows come out they break compatibility of our older games. Either we have to keep a separate machine to run legacy software or run in Virtual Machines, which I am not fond of VM's on my computer.
Anyways, thanks for the help. Glad I am still able to play this game and watch the videos in W10.
