>Could you have the ITV opening credits when the game is loaded, rather than the naff default video?
Yes. It's quite simple to do (in theory). All you need is a video of the intro sequence then convert it to .bik format (google RAD Game Tools) and rename the file to Intro4 (I think..al the videos are located in the same folder on your HardDrive, so it shouldn't be too hard to find them.
I toyed around with this with the Australian (Network 10) intro, which I think is rather good. But my computer doesn't like me editing video on it. Plus I had a heap of trouble trying to reduce the file size from the original Mpeg2 file (130 odd MB's for the 40 seconds of video.....:|)
