The movie player in the game (playuv15.exe in x:\movies) is great and neat for watching secret project movies, or if you just want to see the movie of the Human Hive going under (playuv15 -32 -software hive.wve), but I was wondering if there's some kind of frontend for this (Win 32bit). Because the movies are some of the best I've seen, and they are worth being seen outside of the game.

You can, I just haven't been able to see with WITH PICTURE (I get sound, but no picture)
Just go to the "run" under the start menu.
Type:
playuv15 whatever.wve
That will do the SAME THING as the movie in the game, but I don't get the pictures, just the sound (as in the screen goes blank and I just get sound).

You can drag/drop the wve files onto the player and get the movies to play (at least it works on my machine here.

i've been fiddling with it and it can do some nifty things in DOS, but I was just curious as to a Windows Frontend. I can't get picture with the -doublex or -xsize -ysize options but for the most part is works good.
I don't know why there isn't any documentation about this program at all...if there is please tell me.
