I'm in the same boat. I finally got the game to work but I can't get the opening movie to play properly. I hear the sound but get no movie.

With that bink file no longer available for download how am I supposed to fix it?

I already tried changing the safemovie option in the .ini file to 1 and it didn't work, and I can't figure out how to play the game in windowed mode. Also the solution on the AMD forums is no longer available as there is nothing in the link, so the thread must no longer exist.

I need some help to figure this out how to get it to work.

I've managed to get hold of that elusive fixed DLL and a friend of mine is kind enough to host it:
http://mirror.aleturo.com/Games/NWN/binkw32_ati.zip

On win7 x64 SP1.
Using the binkw32 fixed file for ATI (along with setting it to disable desktop composition and run as administrator) works but only if I use safevideo=0.
If I combine it with the safevideo=1 it crashes.

This works well unless you are having the problem with character textures not loading properly (Silver Surfer look). If you install the 1.69 patch (again), it fixes the textures but seems to mess up the movies again, and the above suggestions no longer work. This thread has another post by me for more details.

Viewing the movies outside the game still works.

That worked wonderfully, thanks so much!

I have win 8 and I can not see the videos T_T

I want to thank Nacimota for the dlls and Lyeengray for rehosting it!!

I didn't even need to use safevideo=0 in my nwn.ini.

I am also running W8. Changing to SafeMovie=1 in nwn.ini worked for me.

had issues with video not playing as well.

binkw32 dll fix kept crashing my game. i tried it on both safemovie 1 and 0. so i reinstalled the original binkw32 dll file installed with the game and set safemovie to 2 and everything works fine. something to try for anyone still having issues.
