Gothic Cutscenes...a meek request...

Hey all. Long time reader, first time poster

I have just beaten Gothic, and I must say it is one of the finest RPG's that I have played in quite a long while. And although I have beaten the game, there remains one thing for me to do: SEE THE FRIGGIN CUTSCENE MOVIES!

You see, for some reason or another I can't watch any of the cutscene movies when they are supposed to happen; the events that are supposed to trigger the cutscenes (intro and outro as well) happen, and then my screen goes black for a few minutes (I'm assuming for the length of the movies) and then it goes back to the normal gameplay. And I'm not sure why this is. I have tried everything, and I mean everything that I have read in all the troubleshooting guides that I could find, but nothing works. My theory is that I just have a really s@!%%y computer.

So my question is this: Is there anybody out there that either has the cutscene movies from gothic in an MPEG format (or something similar), or knows of a site that carries them in this format? If you could post a link here I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for helping me to get the most out of this great game. Max Rules.

Hmm... my post from yesterday was erased.
Oh well.
The movies from the games are stored on your hard disk if you did a full install. Check this folder: Piranha-BytesGothic_workDATAvideo for the video files. You can play them with the Bink Player. Which you can download from here: http://www.radgametools.com/bnkmain.htm

You sure Val?

From memory, I'd say the .bik videos are only available once they've been extracted from the .vdf files, with a tool like VDFS.exe (from the Mod kit)... could be wrong.

That's how it's stored on my system. Maybe it's like that if you don't do a full install.
