Okay, not quite out of the woods yet. Good God, this game is notoriously hard to get working right! So on my retro PC, despite accidentally getting the videos to play properly, now they're not all of a sudden. And no matter what I install or uninstall doesn't seem to make a difference. Plus, to top it all off, now the audio is playing really fast that everyone sounds like a chipmunk.

Atp with what you explained, this game just worked better with DxWnd + GOG version combination on VMware Windows 11
