with original CD, playing of videos

[Corsaire]

This is for a distant future, when the game will be completely fonctional.

the videos from the original game are in a format that can be played with MPlayer, so when the game will allow to play the single player campains it would be good to have them too.

Here the results given by MPlayer :

Playing /media/cdrom/Data/1.ZRB.
libavformat file format detected.
VIDEO: [SMK2] 640x240 0bpp 30.003 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)

Well rather than MPlayer, the FFmpeg subsystem is able to use this format, you can find some good hints for your own program there.
