Im not sure what to do about the enormous avi files I have.
I have contemplated stripping out the real big opening one (its 600mb).
I just wish SOM handled more modern compression formats. It pretty much leaves us limited to huge files unless we don't mind really grainy and practically unreadable video.
I am including with my game the proper codec needed to make windows run the avi files I am using. They are a ligos format (which is about the best compression quality/size ratio I could get) and may need a special codec if your media player doesnt have any codec packs installed.
I will see what I can do about the beta, I dont think it requires the opening vid...so I can at least shorten its length for download. Maybe 500mb instead of a gig.
