This occurs in Windows XP when you run FF7.exe in compatibility mode.

Dziugo made an excelent program just for this purpose! Its Gypt/YAMP, and you would have found it if you searched a little. wink
You use it to skip your movies.
Actually I think it has to do with the old codec (TrueMotion 20) that is not produced anymore and very difficult to find anywhere(new ones don't work). But I happened to come across a site that someone put up and that person didn't have the codec.exe to install(deleted it) anymore but he kept the installed file one in Window/System32(I think) folder. It's tm20dec.ax. I just copied that into my System32 and I couldn't believe it. It played all the places that crashed on me! The Gaea's Cliff movie, Weapon coming out of crater movie, etc.. The movie wants to crash but it doesn't. If you want this codec email me. I know it works on both of my laptops and desktops with Windows XP Pro & Home. You must backup your original tm20dec.ax that's in System32(I think) folder before copying the one that I will give you.
Your original will be about 100kb
The one that was given to me is about 300kb.
Try this at your own risk. I've had mine installed for over 2 weeks with no problems with my pc and I'm at the part where you can battle with Ultimate Weapon at Cosmo Canyon. After you see the movie.
Edit* Just defeated him with out crashing, like some members are having crashed on them.
I already had a downloaded PC version that I have played before on my Windows XP
I know I can always download a psx version with emulator
sephiroth inside clouds mind at the end of FFVII. that fight was SO anti climactic
I've got it working nicely on Vista (all be it a little quick!):
> Installed the game
> Installed the 1.02 patch
> Installed the upside down movie patch (forced administrator in win 98 compatibility mode)
> Truemotion disabled in FFDshow
