There is a plugin for ERA that can play modern biks in-game. Ask on WoG forums, if the author can write such a plugin for SoD/HD.

Yes, I send question too in discord long ago, but don't work too and probably don't have time. So I spend lot of time and current fail. :/ If I good remember you writing dll for Complete. You can try? We current had Open AI help with this topic hmmm...

Is it not possible to somehow change the "controls", e.g. to .def? Invoke somehow the methods to open the video?

Theoretically you can make the game play avi/mp4 even. The question is time and a reason to spend time

Really other formats? For me I want for Project Heroes Chronicles in menu camp "video" when hover cursor open video. In original game we can't change video so we don't have in HC. Long time write?

Don't know. You have to search for ready solutions, such as free avi/mp4 playback APIs for C++.

I understand. it's best to use the logic of what is there and call playback def instead of bik - maybe it's faster then. e.g. birth.bik to birth.def and change this control somehow? But we need knowledge and skills about this...

Even if that RAD doesn't work in a few years publicly available AI must be able to reverse engineer file formats from some samples

Alas, even this version is "too new" for Heroes 3's biks.
