Hello there. I've installed Thief 2 and the latest NewDark patch (1.24). The game itself is running smoothly except for the videos.
It runs fine initially but once the CD-drive starts running, the video freezes and the sound hangs. It seems to have something to do with the CD-drive, as every time it starts running the game begins to stutter before it hangs a few second later, but I can't exclude it may be something else. Strangely, every renewed attempt results in the briefing video interrupting at a later time.
I've tried the (

Does anyone know what's the culprit and has an idea and how to solve it?
Some addition info in case relevant:

Did you use TafferPatcher to install NewDark 1.24? I think TP will copy the movies to the Thief2 install dir and amend the darkinst.cfg, negating the need for cd access.
