Vexorian	It is impossible, Unless you take every frame of the mpeg vide, import them as tga - blp, and use fade filters and a timer, but really that would be to stupid.

Lost Loch	On a related note, is it possible to put DivX movies in a campaign like Blizzard does in theirs? Or is this a Blizzard-only trick? I've never really looked at it as I've never had anything worth putting in, but- any clues?

Bulletcatcher	On a completely unrelated note, isn't that an insanely massive sig? I mean, 240k animated gif? It doesn't even spell "too" properly!

It is possible to play videos in game.
You'll need to do the following steps:

1. Convert your mpeg video to avi
2. Rename the file extension from avi to mpq
3. Place the file in your warcraft movies folder, where the other movies are
4. Trigger Editor: After you have a end game (lost/won) action you can use the JASS function PlayCinematic takes string file returns nothing to play your video.
So either you you convert your trigger to JASS and add the action call PlayCinematic("YourName") or you use the GUI trigger action I added to WEU. ("YourName" is the name of the video file without the mpq extension).
