1. idon't think the movies run at the same definition as the rest of the gam
2. i didn't think the game itself ran at 1600x1200, mine only goes to 1280x something
1. The standard movies run at 640x480. And they are badly encoded, the quality is worse than FMV on Playstation games. Wether it's the same res as the gameplay depends if you play at 640x480 although you'd have to have a really crappy system to do that. The HQ movies are supposed to be 1600x1200. 2. Mine does go up to 1600x1200. The game probably doesn't detect your monitor supporting that high a resolution.
All I want from someone out there is confirmation that these HQ packs actually work. Any side by side comparisons out there? Atlhough with the prevalence of LCD panels that don't go above 1280x1024 I'd imagine most of you don't even meet the requirements for the HQ movie pack...
