So I am trying to create a movie file for a mod of mine.
Old IE uses .MVE files for this, which apparently is a specific video file format for the engine. Does anyone know what program + Codecs I should be using to get it done?
How to create a movie file for original IE (.mve)

AVI2MVE which is a command line tool written by ABel. Most convenient place to grab it is probably with PS GUI, which also provides a GUI front end for it. There is also an older tool written by (I think) the original developers, but it's 16-bit so doesn't run on modern architectures. Last OS that could run it was Windows XP; anything newer requires an emulator, but last time I did that was probably on Windows 7. I think the name of that package was something like "MVE tools". I can try to dig it up off an old hard drive tonight if you're interested, but it's a pain to use even if you can run it.
"Ok, I've just about had my FILL of riddle asking, quest assigning, insult throwing, pun hurling, hostage taking, iron mongering, smart-arsed fools, freaks, and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience! If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!"
