Everybody is having that problem, EA has a special type of VP6, which makes them especially difficult to open
Damn you EA well can the game still read normal vp6 files as in ones that i make?

Rumors abound about being able to use the old .bik format from Generals. Has yet to be confirmed though.
I believed that someone has tried that, and it didn'twork
But the codec download link works , I'll see what I can do with it.

EDIT: No wonder it doesn't work, the installer files are invalid. I went to every possible website and downloaded the codec, but when I try to install the plug-in to VirtualDub, the .dll file isn't there, so I went into the installer file, and the .cab files, that contain the .dll files, were invalid! I checked all the different vp6 codecs, and they were the same. I just wrote an e-mail to the On2 website, and hopefully they'll e-mail me back with a solution.

Download the K-Lite codec pack from Softpedia
Install what you would like, obviously the vp6 coder and decoder. After that go download the Virtual Dub player from the Virtual Dub Website
Extract it to a folder some where. Open up the folder and run "VirtualDub.exe". Open the file you want to convert. Click on...
File
Open Video File...
After it is open, you'll see two boxes, the one on the left is your original file, the one on the right is the new. Click on "Video" and then "Compression..."
A box will come up scroll down on the box on the left until you see
VP60 Simple Profile
VP61 Advanced Profile
VP62 Heightened Sharpness Profile
Click on one of those, not sure the differences, and if you click on configure, you can change it to fit the size you want it. After that click on "OK". Click "File" then "Save as AVI". Choose your filename, and then click save. It should work. Trying to open that with a video player will most likely not play your file. Place it in Data/Movies in your Battle for Middle Earth program files, and edit the ini files to open the file, or rename it to the file you want to replace.
If you have any questions reply, and I will also be giving updates of more things I find

VP60 Simple Profile
and maybe
VP61 Advanced Profile
but the VP62 doesn't work. I'm about to test it got a vp6 file, looks identicle to ones in game, and I'll edit this post with the result
EDIT: It didn't work, but would anybody like to help me with this, and we can figure out how to make it work twice as fast. And I shouldn't throw out the VP62 so fast. It could work. I tried VP60, but there are switches I can make.
But my evil wolves worked!

I've been playing around with the settings quite a bit now, I've tried all 3 vp6 versions (vp60, 61, 62) and calling the file intel or EALogo but the game just skips straight to the next intro movie instead. I also tried saving as an actual vp6, as in when you go to file, save as AVI, I changed the filetype to All Files and called it intel.vp6. It saved it as a vp6 file just like any other but the game still does not play it.

EDIT: Stupid fatal error message, the hex editing didn't work, me and EggyDan need some help figuring out hex editing. That's all that we need before we can use them in game
