I know all movies in RA2/YR are in Bink format (which suits me just fine)

I'm curious- i've considered adding some ingame movies (appearing in the radar window, same as existing ingame movies)

However, as a psuedo-noob, I'm not slick enough to figure out how to do it myself-- Is it possible to have a movie run in the radar window after creating a building or a unit, or is this only possible via map triggers?

It is only possible by map trigger. However I have had problems with making the game recognise a new movie file that I was trying to get it to play. I know it should be listed in art(md).ini and called by a map trigger (which I can make work with existing movie files) but the new one just doesn't work :/ It could possibly be due to the editor itself trying to correct my trigger when I use an unrecognised value for a movie, but I don't know.

Have you checked the map ini to see if it adds it?

[Blade]

Yes, the trigger fires and plays movies that are earlier in the list from artmd.ini but it won't play the new one I added. I've tried with the file in the directory and in a variety of differently names mix files (all correct naming conventions).

No, i mean checked the file in notepad to see if the filename exist within the file.
If the editor corrects it, maybe you could add it trough notepad...
