The game requires AVI playback for intro and inter-mission videos.

Requirements for a solution:

• support for overlay text/subtitles
• support different voice-overs
• de-interlace on the fly (or we could re-code de-interlaced video)
• compile on Delphi7-XE5 and Lazarus
• ensure that codec used is available on all systems (for original codecs - looks like it is)
• any library used needs to be licensed for free use
• video and subtitles should look okay with dynamic resize (1024*720 to 4k) and different windowed frame proportions

Considerations:

• prefer to use OpenGL renderer with POT textures
• subtitles will probably need a new font (or some system font), to be large enough (readable)
• make calls to play mission videos a part of campaign data
