So I'm playing the DOS version of Hexen II's Hammer of Thyrion source port in DOSBox on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The game works great for me, except for one problem: The opening cinematic doesn't play. I do, however, have an AVI file for the cinematic. I also found a DOS application called QuickView Pro that allows me to run it in DOSBox right before it loads the game (using a batch file, obviously). The problem, though, is that I'm using the trial version of QV Pro, which means that not only is there a five-second pause after the cinematic, with a message telling me "This pause is removed in the registered version", but it tells me that I will have to register the application (which will cost me a minimum of $15 for the lite version alone) after three weeks.
Are there any reliable alternatives to QuickView that are free or at least cheap that I can run in DOSBox so that I can play the AVI file and then go straight to the game with no interruptions?
