Comment:

 Thank you for the report, I can reproduce it by manually reencoding
 DATA02.BIN to Xvid. ScummVM should obviously never crash - I will fix that
 shortly and will discuss further changes with the team in order to ignore
 unsupported or broken video files. (even with the fix the game would
 currently not start)

 However may I ask where you got the game from, the detection thinks it is
 the German CD release which (at least my CD version) does not contain
 Xvid-encoded videos?
 If this is a German variant I do not yet know about, I could add it to
 ScummVM separately and add a workaround for the broken video file.
