I have played SS2 on multiple distros with no issues. Are you using some ancient version of Ubuntu?

So, a while back, I got fed up with the cutscenes in System Shock 2 just being all black on my Ubuntu machine. I did some digging and apparently it was an issue with the codecs, so I spent an afternoon re-encoding the original cutscenes in H.264. Just now getting around to posting it, after whipping it up November last year. Enjoy
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT MAKE THE CUTSCENES HIGHER RESOLUTION, OR SWITCH THEM TO 16:9. It simply re-encodes them to allow them to play on Linux machines, in all their crusty, hypercompressed glory. Maybe, if I ever learn how to use Blender, I might reanimate them in 1440p, but that'll be a while.
To install, just download this file and install it as a mod. (Thanks Marvin for teaching me that the mod manager will recognize it!)
(PS: Not sure on the legality of this mod, so I'm just gonna say right now: if this violates any copyright laws, I assume full responsibility.)
