Win7 & R5 Intro Video

Can anyone (besides Finn) with windows 7 confirm if the intro video crashes the latest R5 client when it loads?

Not crashing for me (Windows 7 b7600 with the client from August 11th, 2009 (the last one on the wiki))

BigRou, the intro video plays fine while the client loads?

Finn, what build of Win7 do you have?

Thanks.

My client crashed, after I tried to play the original intro (the one from CD). After installing Intel (Ligos) Indeo codec on Windows XP everything worked fine. Indeo is no longer part of the OS since WindowsXP SP1. No idea what codec the intro video of the download version uses.

From Ligos website:
QUOTE Pre-release/beta/release versions of “Windows 7″ - Indeo Codecs are not supported on any version of the upcoming OS known as “Windows 7″. Indeo will no longer be supported when Windows 7 is released. Users are encouraged to contact Microsoft to obtain the version of Indeo they are currently distributing and supporting.[/quote]

After that, you won’t be able to get the download, but if you have the bits, you can still install the RC and get a key if you need one.

you need to have allegiance in fullcreen mode to test this! (you must not have the -windowed option on, in fact, dont have any options on)

Ok, I've built my self an R5, used the intro.avi from R5Contrib/artwork, video works fine, but we may like a new one, the random explosion is a bit silly.
