While looking for videos to add support for, I noticed that the 3DO SC2 CD contains a few videos that UQM doesn't use (apart from the ship spin videos, for which a patch is available):
- logo.*: the Crystal Dynamics logo.
- drumall.*: a rather long Crystal Dynamics commercial.
All of these are in the same "duckart" directory on the CD as the other videos. The easiest way to play them is to swap filenames between the video you want to see and the intro video, and then start a new game.

Dang it, nothing good. Would have been better if they had hidden the ending credits there so at least we could rip the voices. Ah well.

Actually instead of using the "preview" the developers put the credits for the UQM Dev Team. (the "preview" is supposed to show up after sitting on the opening menu for a little bit)
OK, so that's where it was supposed to show up. I was wondering about that.
i've actually been able to "turn on" the ability to play the crystal dynamics logo thing but not by using the available place for it (i was really bored), cause i tried the available code and when i ran the compiled exe it would just sit there for a few seconds and then goto the splash screen. It would actually say that it loaded the video but it wouldnt play it Removing the Crystal Dynamics logo makes sense, as they're not publishing UQM. With all the changes to the UQM startup sequence, it's probably playing the logo when you activate the old logo code, but with both sound and video faded away to nothing.
okay enough rambling, i'm still bored so i'm gonna try to add support for the "drumall" video Should be easy enough; after all, the intro video playback code handles logo and drumall too. The tricky part is making sure that you can hear and see the result, nothing else is interfering (enabling the old ship spin code gave me, for example, a blinking ship icon for the selected ship in melee) and the display is restored afterwards.
