--- Comment #6 from Florian mcflow-forum@gmx.net 2008-11-28 15:44:32 --- Sorry for double posting. I checked the game folder and the movies are located in "./Data/Movies" folder. They are in AVI and I tried to play them with native totem and VLC. They showed the same behaviour like ingame. There is no sound, so I think this is a codec issue. I did a quick research and found out that "The Return of the King" seems to use Videos encoded in the DXGM codec which seems to be some kind of special codec by EA games. Maybe that could be the issue. I might try to reencode the videos to a codec I can play. Though I doubt that this will work. Still there would be the missing voices ingame.
