Not sure what the official term would be for it, but i get a sort of smearing effect in the opening videos. As anything moves, there is a dotted trail left behind as if the video isn't updating properly or just getting really pixelated.

I've looked at a Let's Play on youtube and didn't see any of the same artifacts so i should be able to fix it? Normally i would just uncompressed the vid file with Rad Tools (since it uses smackply) but sadly all the game files are hidden away in .dat files. But anyways...
Things i've tried:
Changing the render to overlay and surface. Opengl just crashes dosbox for me.
Changing the video card to the other svga vesa options. svga_s3, vesa_oldvbe & vesa_nolfb are the only ones that work.
Scale doesn't seem to matter for svga, at least none of the scale modes are showing for me so i just have it on the default 'normal2x'.
About the extend of what i can think of unless i need some updated dll for video playback in dosbox? I'm at a loss how to spruce up those vids and eliminate those weird effects.
