Title more or less says it all. Getting ahold of a playable video file with 3-5 seconds of blackness would solve an issue I'm having with getting the game to cooperate with a fade-to-black moment. Bonus points and name in lights if it also includes something approximating the sound of getting your head bashed with a club right at the start.

why not just use fraps in a room with no light source?

I forget which file format Oblivion uses for movies. Is it BIK? I might well have a BIK file somewhere with some black, I can check when I get home from work. Actually, isn't the English version of the Blood & Mud video total blackness with audio only?

If you need it in another format let me know.

ForestDillinger, that's absolutely perfect. Did exactly what I wanted, now all I have to do is tweak my script timing. Many thanks.

You should consider uploading the 3 second silent black video as a resource, it could be useful for other folks in the same type of situation.

Should you want a version with a head being bashed, let me know.

Oh, he provided that too. The download has a 3 second silent video, a .wav of the skull crack, and a video file with both combined. And now that I've had the chance to quickly test it, it works perfectly. I don't think I could have asked for better!
