I don't know how much else you need, anyway - this seems related to codecs... I couldn't find any other topic that seemed to deal with this problem. But let's go from the top.
I'm in the process of downloading all the stuff I need for the Bootleg 036 installer, so this might not be an issue for long, BUT: When I install FF7 Remix (not in the default location: C:\Final Fantasy VII, shortcuts and registry entries corrected, not using the batch files to launch the game on account of always losing my ff7input.cfg) and run it, I get a crash ('Oops! Something bad happened...'), and the APP.log suggests there's a problem with sqlogo.avi. Alrighty. Rename, make an empty text file named sqlogo.avi, no more crash!
But then I discovered I don't get any FMVs AT ALL - they are found in the proper path, but all I see in game are big red text blotches informing me that the movie couldn't be opened. The appended log comes from a run where opening.avi crashes. Maybe h264/AAC is the problem? Has anyone solved this by using some codec pack or other? Or NOT using codec pack x? I don't really know how the bundled FFmpeg movie plug-in works...

Oh, right, I forgot about this little thing: There is absolutely no change when I set the movie directory to the one on the CDs. It doesn't sound like the CD is even accessed, although I have to confess I'm sitting with headphones on listening to something else entirely. What in the blazes is up?
