Because the videos belong to the game.Thats all
If some of you could extract the cinematic video files from the mpq., I would rencode them by myself with that tool.
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/XviD4PSPIt's not that difficult as you allege. Ok maybe a little "time consuming".
But I realy don't want to relinquish the cinematics. By the way in version 1.3a everthibng works perfectly so I would play this version. But unfortunately I am not able to use the translation patch (german) by ki4m in version 1.3a and ki4m seems to be to slothful to crate a translation patch for 1.3a. Normally it would be indifferent to me but now where this patch is out I don't want to waive this patch.
PS The sarcasm was passing me because I am a bit humourless. Ok thats an exeption( its way too epic^^):
