Hey I am wondering, what are the individual video names inside of the MVS files? I need to work with the BF1 video files but don't know what the internal video names are to call them in-game.
I searched through all of the BF1 lua files but could only find a few references to shell movies. I need all of the movie names for campaigns intros & outros.
Thanks!

Here's a great topic on movie playback in general. How to make them, how to play them, useful functions, etc.

Yeah, I was recently involved in the management of flythrough movies and the truth is that it's very easy to do.
I think that in this thread it is explained too: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4692.msg45265#msg45265 (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4692.msg45265#msg45265)

You are my new idol.
I guess I never realized the menu background was actual movie files. I just figured it was Flash animations or something like that.
Nice find Gistech!
