I can't figure out how to set up dgVoodoo2 to play the first movie

The game works great, the color fix shows itself perfectly. But when i start the game, the screen is black and only music is playing, the video is not visible. I press Esc and immediately go to the main menu..

Please help, how to set up the dgVoodoo2 to see the first movie ?

I improved GDI hooking a bit, so now it kinda works: there is one problem however, the movie image is not vertically centered but appears at the top. I don't know why but probably the MCI player detects that it's not drawing into a window, as expected, so it can't center the position. Or sg like that.

Are there any movies in this game other than the initial one? If there are, how can I play them for testing?

There is one more problem with dgVoodoo2, but with a different game, I will have to post a message in another topic or i can here?
This is Aliens versus Predator GOLD, when starting a mission or creating and run multiplayer, it throws it to the desktop without error
Without dgVoodoo2 this does not happen but the game has a graphical glitch, the right side of the screen is distorted
..I checked on windows 7x64
