Well, you also need to run the "DirectShow Installer" off of the Install CD, it contains the codec you need to see the movies.  If that doesn't work, then get the "upside-down movie patch", as that should both either install or update the codec with a somewhat newer version.

Don't worry about the installer trying to replace the rest of DirectShow with an older version; it won't.  At most, it'll just install the codec, but the "self-preservation" code of DirectX itself will also kick in and ensure that the older version of DirectShow will not overwrite the version you have, as far as I know.
 
I have DrectShow, still it doesent work.
On edios.com they said it was a video playback error, time based mabye?
 
In the gold saucer where cloud gets to go out for a night of "fun*" with either tifa barret or Aeris.


* My definition of fun differs greatly from theirs.
 
In my case she doesnt count as if i every try to "obtain" her, the game crashed at the mystery ninja battle...
 
Sounds like her battle model data is corrupted or something...have you tried copying the old file from the CD over the current one?
 
yeeep.  Ive tried nearly everything....Ive just un installed and re installed and no change...It doesn't bother me.  I hate her anyway.
 
I just got an idea.  LGPTools has a "repair archive" option....perhaps you can use it on battle.lgp....?
 
That's one wierd effin error.  Maybe it has something to do wtih the camera flying around all over..? *shrugs*

I got Yuffie with no problem.
Like that is worth clebrating.
 
Its strange, I can get into the battle, It will go zoom in on her and then will CTD....

So, it doesn't crash until after you see her? ....hmm....maybe it's her battle _animation_ data that's missing or in some way corrupt.

Ok, I need you to clarify something.  You said it happens despite doing an uninstall/reinstall -- did you also make sure to copy battle.lgp over from the game discs as well?

Doing that should rule out the possibility that the battle.lgp that's on the _install_ disc is corrupt while the game discs have a good copy......
 
Ive just copied the Battle>LGP file over and it still does it.  Yet its fine in every other battle.  Which is stragne, because doing it on my other older PC is fine....Im past that part now anyway, and im using yuffie normally...so god knows whats happened.
 
I skipped Gongaga to go to Cosmo Canyon. I watched the Lifestream movie with no problem.

Only thing is, how do I get to Gongaga in the first place?
 
Dont you have to go through Gongaga to get to cosmo....

No, the first time I played I actually missed Gonaga entirely until after the Temple Of The Ancients when you wake up there. Not sure how that happened, but it did, haha.
