I don't believe you can but you may want to put a zero length file in it's place to completely bypass the movie intro.

When you create your .AVI use uncompressed method. the quality of the video will be high and when you compress it with the VP6 codec it will look decent.

Also use a good quality movie when you want to create your .AVI and VP6 video.

I'm using the XV mod. Is there any way to skip altering the video that is already set up, and just quickly replace the audio?

Thanks for this, Madden 06 has 30+ movie clips as apart of it's menu background that I'll be editing. How do i view the files in the movie dat though? I've installed the codec and have VLC but it plays the file as an audio file.
