Comment (by antoniou79):
Good to know that the "soul jumping" (character perspective switching
works).
The videos don't need re-encoding though. The quicktime decoder that
ScummVM integrates has no issue playing them. The only thing that didn't
work was the quick "early detection" that our Director engine does,
looking at the start of the video files and deciding which video decoder
it will send them to (if any). This has an easier fix than re-encoding the
videos (and preserves the original files, so that's always a plus). But
yeah, probably something more elegant and applicable to all video files,
than my proposed fix.
