video codec

[joetheiceman]

i cant get to the campaign because it needs some kind of video codec for the intros. wheres the download?

Depending on your OS, the codec is normally installed. You can install some sort of codec-pack, this is something I would not do, they are in most cases not up to-date. A program like VLC is capable of playing nearly all codecs.

Start EB-Configuration in your RTW folder and disable movies, if you are using a shortcut, add -nm at the end of your target line.

VLC Player and K-Lite Mega Codec Pack seem the best options.

I have never heard of anyone encounterg this, what OS do you use?

I use XP (i just got the computer if that matters)

[XSamatan]

This could be a reason. Did you disable the movies? Does it work now?

I had this problem once too in Vanilla, codec installing didn't helped me because it was a corrupt Windows installation, could this be the case?

Do NOT install codec packs! They can mess up with your OS in ways you don't want to know, I spent years try to educate people in that.
IIRC RTW video format is WMV so just update your WMP.

If that doesn't work try this: http://members.iinet.net.au/~malith/files/msundecoderpack2005.zip

I developed it back then and it's 100% safe
