Hi

I'm testing PRACX MoviePlayerCommand entry and I'm content enough to share.

In Alpha Centauri.ini:
INI:
MoviePlayerCommand=movies/play.bat

and the play.bat looks like:
Code:
@echo off
movies/nircmd.exe suspendprocess terran_PRACX.exe
movies/nircmd.exe suspendprocess terranx_PRACX.exe
movies/mplayer.exe -really-quiet -vf scale -zoom -vo gl_nosw -fs -ao win32 %1
movies/nircmd.exe resumeprocess  terranx_PRACX.exe
movies/nircmd.exe resumeprocess  terran_PRACX.exe

I'm using mplayer r37604 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/MPlayer and MEncoder/ sigle exe should be enough). and NirCmd (https://nircmd.nirsoft.net/)
This suspends Alpha Centauri (no map background music during cut scene), plays cut scene full screen and resumes.

It works under my wine but i don't see why it should not under windows (or maybe under windows this is already scaled? :D:D)

My inspiration to post this here was @ZombiVoziKombi. I would gladly accept properly upscaled movies as mplayer would play them (simple rename files would be enough).

I hope this will bring joy to someone.
