Intro Movie Made

Well... I've made my first attempt at an intro movie for Chapter One of The Relbonian Chronicles, bringing me ever closer to a final release, although I have hit a snag with it. Although I don't have PowerPoint, I managed to combine my editing skills in both Windows Live Movie Maker and Activision "The Movies" to make something I'm satisfied with. In order to keep the file size down I couldn't go into the complete Mythology, so condensed it down, hoping that it will be enough of a teaser to encourage further reading on the subject within the module, and give an indication as to why our hero is destined to meet the God of Death.

My problem stems from the process whereby the video is "Binked" to make it compatible with NWN. My understanding was that the process would condense the file, but in reality it has doubled the size to over 40 meg, which is clearly undesireable. Perhaps if the movie started in AVI format Bink would be more successful, but I don't have the tools to convert my movie to AVI in order to experiment. Perhaps someone here can offer suggestions?

Anyway, here's the movie (subject to successful imbedding). Comments appreciatted. :)
