Swat 2's movies were originally encoded with a codec that doesn't work with modern versions of Windows. This file contains replacement movies that have been encoded in the popular XVID codec.
Although Swat 2's videos are in .AVI format they are encoded with a codec (Indeo Video codec) that Microsoft no longer supports in newer operating systems. For the videos to run smoothly on Windows 8/10 it is recommended you download these replacement versions that are re-encoded with the XVID codec. Overwrite the original movie files that are stored in the "Movies" folder of Swat 2.
I also had to change the permission for a DirectX windows file ("dplayx.dll") to get to work. I had to change it from "READ" to "FULL CONTROL"

Sorry for very late reply. I really need to revisit this site more often to look for comments.

hey I know this is a old mod but it no longer works
Not really a mod. All it does is replace the movies with re-encoded versions that are more Windows 8/10 friendly.
It still works.
