Your comp' obviously doesn't like playing movies, there's only a few things that I can think of that MAY solve the problem, or at least prevent the problem from happening.

Try putting in the FF7 install disc, and wait for the setup to appear, when it has, click on 'Install Movie Player' or go directly to the file:

CDROM:\dxmedia\redist\dxmedia.exe

If that doesn't work, or you have already installed the DirectShow drivers, try downloading this patch:

http://ftp.eidos.com/pub/patches/final_fantasy7/ff7betap1.exe

Try using just plain ol' software mode instead of hardware, for the video.

If no luck what-so-ever with any of the above^ (Use this as a LAST RESORT)

(This was taken from http://www.eidosinteractive.com/support/faqinfo.html?fqid=62&gmid=44 )

Another solution is copy all the movies from the CD onto the hard drive. the movies for the game are located on each game disk 1, 2, and 3 in the \ff7\movies directory. This will not put more than the 500M or so of movie data on your HD.

Once you have copied the movies to the hard disk run regedit and find the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII

You will find the line that says:

"MoviePath"="d:\FF7\Movies\"

Click on the key "MoviePath" and click on Edit on the Menu bar at the top of the Window. Click on Modify. Enter the new path:

"MoviePath"="c:\windows\desktop\Movies\"(or which ever path to which you saved the movies.)

When you change disks, will will need to copy the movies on the new disk to the hard drive in the same directory. It is safe to delete the movies as you will not return to the previous disk

I hope at least one of these helps you out.
 
I cant get past cosmo canyon, the movie moving doent work and neither does the lowering the acceleration and i cant set my game to 320x
 
Ahhh five years is nothing.  If I remember right, about a year ago someone necro'd a 6 year old thread.
