Blizzard FMVs
I'm not going to dance around the subject here; if this is against any of the rulez close this thread right away. I apologize.
That said, watching the Starcraft trailer made me pine after the FMVs in the likes of Diablo II and WCIII. Unfortunately I un-installed those bad boys a long time ago so I no longer have access to the cinematics that I once lovingly earned. Is there any way for me to get access to the cinematics short of a total replay? Are they online? Is there some method to extract them from the installation data?

Re: Blizzard FMVs
All I get when I search on there is trailers from the release of the respective games. It looks like with Warcraft III I can use the cheats to pass the levels and see the cinematics but I didn't get the same with Diablo II downloaded characters. Harumph.

Not really though, because in WC3 a lot of the cutscenes are ingame, and not pre-rendered.

I found a .reg file download online but it would appear that .reg files apply only to windows. This is what the file contains, as opened in text edit:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II]
"Aux Battle.Net"="216.148.246.50"

Re: Blizzard FMVs
Update: Problem solved. Creative googling and persistance *does* pay off!
Using an MPQ Extractor coupled with the Bink Video Player works out.

Re: Blizzard FMVs
another way is to just input the cheat code that allows you to win each stage and that way in about 15 minutes you'll have all the cinematics unlocked.
