theora is the video format supported by WME natively. This is the code I used to do what you are talking about.

Play a video fullscreen scene

Code: WME Script

1. actor.Active = false;
2. Sleep(1000);
3. var videointro = Scene.CreateEntity();
4. videointro.PlayTheora("Video\LogoTumbles\Long_1024x768.ogg");
5. Sleep(16000);
6. //Game.Interactive = true;
7. Scene.FadeOut(2000);
8. Game.ChangeScene("scenes\scenename.scene");

This example loads a logo tumble theora video file. Playing it full screen. The script then sleeps for a while (length of the video) and then fades out over some time and loads the next scene.. with could be any scene including another logo.

Also in your scene make a single entity that you left click to "skip" the sequence.. just make the entity the same size as you screen.

Skip Code

Code: WME Script

1. on "LeftClick"
2. {
3.   Game.ChangeScene("Locations\SW\OldTown\Road\road01\road01.scene");
4. }

Convert your FMV video to Theora and then call

Game.PlayTheora(path to your theora file);

For converting to theora I personally use ffmpeg2theora, which can be downloaded here: http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/

and it works perfect for all my videos.

Some members have made some tutorials on converting to theora you might want to look at if you are new to converting video to different codecs.
