Which video

Which video screen do you mean.
The intro one where the logo is shown or the video where the players are shown playing in the game.

The video where players are shown playin the game It looks like **** showing EAsports and rugby

Solution

that is easy wasi. Go to c:/Program Files/EA Sports/Cricket2004/Data/Movies and replace vidscreen.m1v with the video that you would like to replace it with.If you want to close it just make a black screen movie and save it as .m1v using virtualDub(i think it is possible) and replace vidscreen.m1v with this one .the name of that file should be vidscreen.m1v or else it won't work

 

[voldemort]

If the video is mpg or any other thing rename it as (filename.m1v)

 

[wasi786]

By the way the video is not mpg is mpeg i've tried earlier to change the video by replacing the original couldn't happen also the video which i replace is mpeg but still couldn't happen u need to have he correct sizes

I know vibs i also tried it, it doesn't work.

 

[vibs89]

It can work but u need to have correc sizes and correct file of mpeg then it will surely work and also its not necessary about the length u can add for 10 seconds or 20 seconds it doesn't matter

I just would like to add, I have try this and I now have just over 3 hours of music playing in game, as long as you save it as the right file type you can have anything you like

Another solution

Follow the steps to change intro video where the players are shown playing atomatically.
a) Select any media file (I have tried only .mpg, .mid, .mp3, .avi)
b) Open it with media player 9 or higher and click File -> Save media as
inpc.mpg
c) Replace this file with the original in Cricket2004\Data\Movies folder
d) Create a backup of the original file (not necessary.)
e) Have fun. You can hear the music during the intro instead of the long video of cricket.

It doesn't matter whatever the file size may be.
I have used a 30Mb mp3 converted file and it worked fine.
But the more the time, more will you have to listen the music before starting the game. So you can just skip that and instead put the music durig gameplay as I have explaned it in the previous thread.
Size doesn't matter in any of the cases.
