Tried almost all of these solutions when I had this problem with my copy and Windows 7 and none of them helped. This solved it, though. It's apparently a problem the game has with some ATI GPUs/drivers.

In the meantime, I would suggest playing with your compatability settings as Grombart says above. If you're still having problems and want to watch them, you can download Bink from RAD Game Tools and watch them outside of the game, or possibly find them on YouTube.

Edit:
ACDude800 appears to have found a solution on the AMD forums for people using Radeon graphics cards and chipsets:
- Disable desktop composition on nwmain.exe
- Download a fixed binkw32.dll from the following site:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0mfgzd40nk0/binkw32_ati.zip
In your NWN installation directory, Rename the existing binkw32.dll to binkw32_ati.dll and extract the downloaded binkw32.dll into the folder
If shiny water does not work for you, disable it.
I have confirmed that this fix does work, having said that you should be cautious of updating DLLs because it is hard to know how the program utilizes the library and what things have changed betweens versions of said library

I could view the movies but they kept stopping, sometimes for as long as about 5 or 6 seconds, so it wasn't merely stuttering a bit. I have an ATI card so I replaced the bink32.dll and it now works fine. Thanks.

Hmm. Is there a fix for this issue now? None of the above work for Full screen.
However: I can play the game windowed after altering the ini file for configurations and playing the game windowed will allow me to see the cut scenes oddly enough.

Thanks for this thread. I have this issue but the link for Bink DLL doesn't work anymore. Could anyone please share the library?

I am having the same problem, so another request for someone to rehost the file, please. It would be much appreciated.
