For some reason AVI/OGV files fail to play while the game is set to OpenGl renderer - the screen just goes dark for a split second, and the game resumes normally. The said files are played correctly when switching back to Direct3D/software renderer.
Is this a known issue, or rather a problem with codec/compression settings? Using AGS 3.4.1.14.
Yes, as far as I know they are played through dxmedia interface, which requires DirectDraw 5 or Direct3D to be running.
Ah, I see, thanks! Is there any chance for a quick workaround for this? (unfortunately, ZA is quite dependent on OGV cutscenes, which currently limits the renderer to D3D/software only)

Oh wait... OGV is theora video, right? I meant AVI. OGV should be playing I think. AGS simply draws frame by frame on screen, so it suppose to work just like with any other images.
Yes, and huh... I just checked, it only skips certain Theora videos, not all of them (while everything works fine in D3D). I'll try to tinker around a bit with Theora converter settings to see which thing causes this.
