FMVs add a certain professional touch to your game. Anyone
who has played a game like Final Fantasy or Riven would know that videos
give the game a larger more cinematic feel. Currently there are only 2
basic ways to show a video during a GCS game, at start up and shutdown.
So you could show an intro, and a basic ending. The problem with the ending
is it would have to be the same video for winning and loosing- like "The
End". The easiest way would probably be to use batch programming. Or you
could make a front end for your game in something like Visual Basic or
C++. If you do not know how to program in these languages there are plenty
of books at your local library and resources on the net. Fortunately when
the new Menu editor is released adding videos will be as easy as Pie:-)
