I don't THINK i've installed any new codecs, unless something came with HL2 that i wasn't aware of. However, i even reinstalled the "movie player", and that didnt do squat. Mebbe I'll retry the USD moviepatch, see what that does...
But ok Bulk, I'm convinced. I just thought maybe the overlay was different or -SOMETHING-. I really don't beleive in coincidence. I'm not accusing you of anything, btw. It's just, i played ff7 the other day, everything was fine. Tried the patch, and things got messy. Now, without knowing how the patch worked, you'd make the same assumption that I did. So, please don't take this personally; i was only trying to HELP by reporting what i thought was a bug.
But mweh, WHATEVER happened, this gives me the excuse i've been looking for to dl the playstation fmvs and use those instead >=D
