Comment (by asc82):

 Thanks for looking into the issue!

 Replying to [comment:5 Helco]:
 > 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.

 It is based on the Steam-Version
 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1019580/Mortadelo_y_Filemn_Una_aventura_de_cine__Edicin_especial/),
 but as it is missing German language support, someone created a patch
 (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1019580/discussions/0/3481871357440046780/)
 to bring it back into the game.
 When starting the game (with the original .exe file), it plays the Xvid
 encoded video just fine, so it seems the game engine itself does support
 that.
