I just installed k-lite codec pack and all the settings that I set didn't modify anything and I couldn't figure out why.
To actually get the setting adjustments mentioned above to actually work, do the following:
1) On the left side click "DirectShow Control".
2) In the text box that says "Don't use ffdshow in", search for ff7.exe and remove it.
I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to put that in there.
Done.
 
am hoping you guys can help....

i have so far tried a variety of things to try and get the vids working in FF7 (English Version) however i am at a loss.

I have a attempted all of the settings you guys have recommended + a variety of others to no avail. I have (through trial and error) found the high res patch does not work on my system and am not using it. I currently have the videos playing correctly in WMP with the settings stated here (with duck True motion, ffdshow (with settings stated) ) Yet the videos still refuse to play at all in the game. Are there any other settings or options i can try ? any other patches i can use to try and get these fecking videos to play!!!!

i am on Vista Home Premium and am willing to provide any screen shots/photos that you might need to try and help me fix this problem.
 
Well, it happens that people forget to put a backslash at the end of the movie path when they change their videos directory. Not saying that you did it, but a simple reinstall would fix it if it's broken. Yup, you can "just" double-check the movie path in the registry, but then make sure that it's copied from the address bar, and not typed by hand.

If not that, then some codec (other than TM2.0) is trying to play the FMVs. Uninstalling all the codecs (and I really mean ALL) and then installing the TM2.0 should fix it (you can install the other codecs later, just make sure that it all runs fine in FF7). Drastic measure, worked for years... Non-drastic measure would be to tweak the codecs, but you already tried that...
 
What about corrupt video files?  What do I do about those?

I'm stuck at the northern cave.  I freeze after the weapons escaping video is done.
 
Well, thanks for that, but it seems that my file is corrupted.  Can I get someone to get past this for me?  Please?
 
THANK YOU! lol

no one mentioned (at least if they did) that you needed a traling slash on the registry key. Why it installed the default reg keys without a trailing slash either i don't know .... but that explains why it didn't work of the cd's either..... thanks

I feel so stupid now! hehe. They are still grainy but i think that might be because i am not using the High Res patch as i have a wide screen Laptop
And the screen Dosn't support either of the resolutions the patch offers. There for i will see if there is any way i can setup my own custom resolution that i know
that my laptop can support and then try again to remove the graininess from the vids
