Anyone know how to get an avi file (or other prerendered movie format) to play after or before a level in Mots level making? Like the original JK?

I don't think MotS uses .smk files, rather some bastardized video format that nobody has heard of. The only cutscenes you're doing in MotS is with cog.

Tis true. MotS uses SAN files.

All of the mots cutscenes were recorded directly from the game (probably via the command switch "-record", which makes the game take screenshots each time it renders a frame). The levels they used are included in CUTSCENES.zip on the mots cd.

As of yet, nobody knows how to (de)code SAN files.
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

Well what about the original JK then? Can it be done with the original?

Yes, JK uses .smk files. The format for cutscenes is 640*400 I think, goto http://www.smacker.com/ and download the smacker tools and look at the JK cutscene .smk files to make sure. :)
