So, can we use this with 2.5 / 2.6 BG:EE?
Does this include "Restore BG1 Chapter and Dream Screens" mentioned in your last post?
Yes and Yes.

While installing the BG:EE classic movies, I'm getting a successful install, but a debug file gets created because there is some sort of error being thrown.

Don't worry, there are no errors there.

I am not so familiar with the movies beside the style difference between orginal and EEs versions.
About component "3 - Restore BG1 Chapter and Dream Screens". What does it do exactly? I guess there are no EE version for the dream sequences. But what about those BG1 chapter movies (which ones are we speaking about) ?
How about synergy with EET ? After digging, i almost answered my own question :
- The last versions of BGEE Classic movies come with higher quality movies than the classic BG1 movies imported by EET.
- BGEE Classic Movies brings more flexibility in importing BG1 movies
- Is it almost irrelevant to install "1 - Add missing movies" or "3 - BG1 Chapter and Dream Screens" if you don't install first the component from EET Tweak that Replaces classic BG1 movies with BG:EE ones.
Am i correct?

Sounds about right to me.

Hi Sam-
Thanks for this mod. Combined with the K4f4r's classic stone UI, it really makes BG1:EE more authentic to the original.
I installed the classic UI mod as my very first, because it is not weidu, then your mod. I have no issues, except that when I travel to Ulgoth's beard the narration screen is the vanilla EE version, not the "Restore BG1 Chapter and Dream Screens" from component 3. Further, there is no narrator reading the text, it is silent. (edit: there is no narrator VO for this text) All my other chapter/dream scenes have been correct.
I've attached my weidu.log and the bgeeclasicmovies.debug, but there are no errors or warnings in the debug. Is this a known issue?
This is especially strange, because my override folder shows the correct classic stone ULGOTHST.PNG / .MOS, so this may be down to how K4t4r's mod handles the Ulgoth sequence in ui.menu around line 12860.
Edit: digging into it a bit more, it appears this may be an issue between the classic stone UI mod and Stratagem's component 5080, improved TotSC textscreens.I've made a hacked together fix to drop into the override files for anyone else dealing with this.

Someone else seems to have tried the same - upscaling the original clips. My eyes aren't good enough to discern the difference (if any) between their work and yours, but he did the BG2 clips too, so a collaboration might still be interesting:

I believe several people have made upscaled versions of the movies over the years, particularly with how AI upscaling has become popular/accessible in recent times. I know lefreut has done it. Having seen examples of the results produced by AI, there are some aspects I feel my version does better, and some areas where AI does better. It comes down to a matter of personal preference. No one will be stepping on my toes if they want to make a similar mod with their own upscaled movies or chapter backgrounds, but so far I haven't seen anyone else take that final step or support the various language variants.

hi there sam.
i noticed dive-bomber's classic bg1 UI has already packed what seem to be chapter screen and dream sequence screen for bg1 ee
can i safely opt out of "vanilla BG1 chapter and dream screens ", and just use his prepackaged ver.?
also should this come before nostalgia pack or?

If the UI mod installs them with its theme, there's no need to install this version (the theme wouldn't match anyway).
also should this come before nostalgia pack or?

I don't think the install order should matter between these two.
