Good question to ask Andrew. I'd add a finer point to it that was was implied by what you suggested... that if anyone has not tried it in a while it might be good to try it again as your OS may have updated recently causing the LSA issues which might also present in WaR or TLD. Don't assume they're still working just because they were two months ago or whenever you last had videos turned on.

Yeh.. it's a bit weird as the videos are microsofts own wmv format and should be compatible with every windows machine out there.

Some people are reporting they can play the vids independantly of LSA but balk in game.

If videos in LSA are turned off there should be no problem at all.... and yet at least one person has reported a Black screen stall.

Does anyone that is having video problems have tLD ot WaR... do videos work there?

okay, had to reinstall TLD

when game starts, I get the intro vid's and then the vid about the landings (so works as planned)

this time I start Last Stand and I get the Matrix intro, your intro vid, and then the game vid is a black screen with sound, if I mouse click, it goes to the game menu

so, got to say, kind of coufused

(and just in case, yes, I can run the vids from with in the game folder in Media player)

okay just to be sure, I updated my windows player, so now got it to 11 (I been reinstalling that for a while now, thought that one was uptodate already, was 9, now is 11)

TLD, start, get the 2 intro Vids, and the D-Day landing vid

start LSA, and get the Matrix intro vid, your vid is black screen, game vid is black screen

so looks like something with LSA, is intermittent, some times I get your intro to play, other times no, never seen any of the game vids play

just to show that your not being completely ignored.

I wonder if there is a difference in WaR-tld and LSA video coding

I did the WaR/tLD coding to wmv.

who did the LSA conversion and what parameters did they use?

OR - have they started working correctly more recently?
