MGE XE 0.9.8 and later now supports main menu videos. Take a bink compressed video. Just rename the bink video to menu_background.bik and place it in Data Files/video/.

Can someone mirror this? 2shared doesn't seem to want to let anyone download tonight.

It's really nice. I don't use it for a menu screen. But i did convert it for my screensaver!

I attempted to convert the files into .bik format for use with XE. I got the actual menu working, but the mw_logo part crashes the game. Besides that, the conversion of both is lackluster; I suspect I need to convert mw_logo to be lower quality so MW will play it, while the background video needs to be re-converted at a higher quality.

It took my computer awhile to convert the video the first time, so I'll give it another try tomorrow or possibly while I sleep. I was gonna ask Chesko what I need to do to mw_logo to make it play since I know he did that HD intro video.

That's cool, thanks for updating XE, Hrnchamd!
